LVT Flooring Fitting in Croydon
Premium Luxury Vinyl Tile installation in Croydon. We specialize in laying customer-supplied LVT planks and herringbone designs with subfloor preparation matched to your property.
Expert LVT Fitting, Zero Retail Markup
Luxury Vinyl Tiles have transformed domestic flooring, but finding a highly skilled, independent fitter to install the planks you bought at a retail park or online can be frustrating. We are Croydon's dedicated fitting-only LVT specialists, covering Addiscombe, Thornton Heath, Norbury, Selsdon, and the town centre.
We do not sell the vinyl itself. Instead, we focus all our expertise on the installation. Whether you have purchased a standard click-lock system or a premium glue-down herringbone pattern from Amtico or Karndean, we provide the technical trade skills to ensure your floor looks flawless and lasts for decades.
Subfloor Preparation: Timber Terraces vs Concrete Flats
Unlike thick carpet, LVT is thin and rigid. If your subfloor has a ridge, a dip, or a loose board, it will telegraph straight through the vinyl, snapping click joints or lifting glued planks within months. That means the prep is different depending on which type of Croydon property you're in.
In the Victorian and Edwardian terraces and 1930s semis around Addiscombe, Thornton Heath, Norbury, and Selsdon, floors are almost always suspended timber. We secure loose boards and joists first, then install a structural 6mm SP101 plywood overlay to create a flat, rigid base. In the newer high-rise flats around East Croydon and Fairfield, the subfloor is concrete slab throughout — there's no timber flex to correct, but we test the slab for moisture with a hygrometer, and where the building's lease requires it, fit an acoustic underlay layer beneath the LVT to meet the block's sound insulation rules before signing off the job.
As an independent flooring specialist operating across South London, Surrey, and Kent, we provide expert carpet fitting and premium luxury vinyl tile (LVT) installation directly to homes and businesses in Croydon. By offering a specialized, independent fitting service, we eliminate high retail installation markups. Whether you've purchased premium carpet (like Cormar, Abingdon Flooring, or Victoria Carpets) or high-end LVT (like Karndean or Amtico) yourself, we provide the trade-standard underlay, subfloor preparation, and flawless fitting.
