What subfloor prep in Swanley actually involves

If you're looking for subfloor prep in Swanley, the relevant detail is the housing stock — 1960s and 70s estates — and the subfloor that goes with it. 60s/70s housing often has solid concrete slabs — quick LVT installs once screeded.

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 Dartford (~4 mi), Orpington (~5 mi), Sidcup (~5 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of Swanley is part of our standard run.
