Subfloor Prep in Slade Green

What subfloor prep in Slade Green actually involves

Slade Green sits on the A206 between Erith and Dartford, and most of our subfloor prep work here is for landlords needing a quick, hard-wearing subfloor prep turnaround in post-war terraces. Cottage floors often need a full ply overlay; 80s semis usually have flat chipboard.

Every quality floor starts with a flat, sound subfloor. We lay 6mm or 9mm ply over uneven floorboards and apply self-levelling latex over concrete to give LVT, vinyl and laminate the perfect base to sit on.

We regularly work in Erith (~1.5 mi), Crayford (~2 mi), Dartford (~3 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of Slade Green is part of our standard run.

  • WBP 6mm and 9mm plywood (FSC where available)

Local tip: Latex screed is rarely 'optional' under LVT — under-prep is the single biggest reason floors fail early.
