Subfloor Preparation
A good floor starts underneath
Plyboarding
Plywood laid over floorboards gives a flat, stable base and stops board edges showing through vinyl and LVT.
Smoothing compound
A levelling compound fills dips and cracks so the new floor sits perfectly flat.
Building up levels
Low areas raised so the new floor meets the next room neatly at the doorway.
Grinding away contaminants
Old adhesive, paint and residue removed so the new floor bonds properly.

Questions
Common questions about subfloor preparation
Do I need subfloor preparation?
Not always. We check the floor when we measure up and tell you whether any preparation is needed. If it is, it is included in your quote so there are no surprises.
Does preparation add time to the job?
Sometimes. Smoothing compound needs time to dry before the new floor goes down, so a few jobs need an extra visit. We explain the timings when we book the fitting.
