Subfloor Prep Flooring for Thamesmead Homes & Landlords
Thamesmead sits reached via the A2016 with Abbey Wood Elizabeth line at its western edge, and most of our subfloor prep work here is for landlords needing a quick, hard-wearing subfloor prep turnaround in 1970s Peabody estates. Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.

What subfloor prep in Thamesmead actually involves
Thamesmead sits reached via the A2016 with Abbey Wood Elizabeth line at its western edge, and most of our subfloor prep work here is for landlords needing a quick, hard-wearing subfloor prep turnaround in 1970s Peabody estates. Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
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.
Thamesmead sits between Abbey Wood and Erith, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Abbey Wood (~1.5 mi) and Erith (~3 mi).

“Jordan put in carpets for our 2 bedrooms, landing and stairs in our new loft conversion and in 2 existing bedrooms. The quality of the carpets is excellent and the price for the work very reasonable. He gets on with the job, very professional, work of the highest standard. Top class.”
What we check first on a Thamesmead subfloor prep job
Older Thamesmead stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
Most 1970s peabody estates doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
8mm crumb is the usual call for Thamesmead bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
