What subfloor prep in West Wickham actually involves

Subfloor Prep in West Wickham usually means one of two jobs: Premium wool carpet upstairs; herringbone LVT downstairs.. We cover the whole of BR4 from our base 28 minutes from our base.

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 Beckenham (~2 mi), Hayes (~2 mi), Bromley (~3 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of West Wickham is part of our standard run.
