Subfloor Prep in Woolwich

What subfloor prep in Woolwich actually involves

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 Plumstead (~1.5 mi), Charlton (~2 mi), Thamesmead (~2.5 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of Woolwich is part of our standard run.

Local detail

Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in Woolwich

Stair nosings

Older Woolwich stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.

Doorway transitions

Most royal arsenal apartments doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Underlay choice

8mm crumb is the usual call for Woolwich bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
