Expert Subfloor Preparation for LVT

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) are incredibly popular for kitchens and bathrooms across Beckenham. However, older character properties often suffer from uneven, creaking suspended timber floorboards. Laying LVT directly over these boards leads to click-joint failure and squeaks.

My approach is thorough. First, I secure any squeaking floorboards directly to the joists using countersunk wood screws. I then install a 6mm flooring-grade plywood overlay (SP101 standard), stapling the sheets in a dense grid pattern to create a flat, rigid, and completely quiet foundation before laying your vinyl or LVT.

If you are building a modern kitchen extension with a concrete floor in Beckenham, I test the relative humidity (RH) using a digital hygrometer. If dampness is present, I apply a liquid damp-proof membrane before pouring a latex self-levelling compound. This level of subfloor prep is the absolute secret to a long-lasting LVT installation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions


Common questions from Beckenham homeowners about our fitting service.

Yes. LVT is thin and flexible, so any gap or ridge in your floorboards will telegraph through the surface. I secure any loose floorboards and install a 6mm SP101-grade plywood overlay to create a flat, rigid base.
LVT can dent under heavy furniture without pads, fade in strong direct sunlight, and unlike hardwood it cannot be sanded back if damaged. But the biggest issue I see in the homes I fit across South London is none of those — it is poor subfloor prep. LVT is thin and flexible, so any ridge or gap in old floorboards shows through. That is why I level and ply timber subfloors before laying a single plank.
LVT feels warmer underfoot because vinyl does not pull heat from your feet the way laminate's high-density fibreboard core does. It is also the better partner for underfloor heating — glue-down LVT transfers heat efficiently, whereas laminate plus underlay acts as an insulator. If a warm kitchen floor in winter is the goal, glue-down LVT is the fitter's choice.
Budget LVT with a repetitive print pattern and a thin wear layer can. Mid-range and premium LVT is genuinely hard to tell from wood or stone at standing height — embossed grain textures now follow the printed plank pattern. In my experience the bigger factor is fitting: wavy cuts, lippage from a poor subfloor and misaligned patterns make even expensive LVT look cheap, while careful setting-out makes mid-range LVT look premium.
