Floors & Fix installs LVT across Lewisham, Hither Green, Lee, Catford, Bellingham and Forest Hill. LVT is ideal for kitchens in Lewisham's Victorian terraces and handles the post-war concrete floors common in Bellingham — we assess moisture at every visit and specify the correct adhesive system.
Lewisham spans a varied area of south-east London centred on Lewisham town centre and extending through Hither Green, Lee, Catford, Bellingham and Forest Hill. Victorian terraces fill Hither Green and Lee with original suspended timber ground floors. Catford has a mix of Edwardian stock and post-war estates. Bellingham has substantial post-war local-authority housing with solid-concrete floors. A wave of new-build development near Lewisham DLR station introduces screed and UFH.
65% of Lewisham's housing stock predates 1965, with a large proportion of Victorian and post-war stock each bringing distinct subfloor conditions that we assess specifically at every home visit. — ONS Census 2021, dwelling age data, London Borough of Lewisham
LVT is well suited to Lewisham's older housing stock where moisture is a regular finding. On Victorian and Edwardian suspended timber floors in Hither Green and Catford, structural ply goes down first. On post-war Bellingham and Downham concrete slabs, LVT's waterproof core is more tolerant than laminate — but adhesive bond still has a moisture limit, and we test at every visit. Conversion flats throughout Catford and Lewisham take click-lock or glue-down LVT on existing chipboard. New-build UFH properties near Lewisham DLR take glue-down LVT at ≤0.15 m²K/W.
The well-maintained Victorian terraces in Hither Green and Lee — on roads like Ennersdale Road, Leahurst Road and Manor Lane — have original suspended timber ground floors. Many have been extended to the rear, but the original ground-floor construction remains suspended timber throughout. These homes suit engineered oak or LVT with structural ply preparation.
Hither Green and Lee terraces flex at the joists, and LVT will not forgive that. We screw 6mm ply down at 200mm centres across the suspended timber before laying a plank; where deflection is marginal we switch to a glue-down system instead. All of that preparation sits inside the fixed written quote.
Catford has a mix of Edwardian semis and early-20th-century terraces, many now divided into conversion flats. In conversion flats, the upper-floor chipboard is the primary subfloor we work with — a direct-lay surface for carpet, LVT and laminate. Ground-floor flats in these conversions sometimes show residual moisture from original concrete or suspended timber.
Upper-floor chipboard in a Catford conversion flat is a straightforward LVT base — click-lock or glue-down depending on its condition, with acoustic provision for the leasehold. Ground-floor flats are different: residual moisture from the original construction means we test before choosing the adhesive system, all assessed at the free home visit.
Post-war local-authority housing in Bellingham and Downham — part of the LCC cottage estates — has solid-concrete ground floors that can carry elevated moisture readings, particularly in properties where the original DPC has degraded over 70+ years. Moisture assessment is essential before specifying any flooring product on these ground floors.
A waterproof core is why we steer Bellingham and Downham owners towards LVT, but the adhesive underneath still has a moisture limit. The post-war estate slabs here get a hygrometer reading at every visit, with a primer or suppressant where the concrete demands it — and honest advice if a slab is persistently wet.
New-build apartment blocks and townhouses near Lewisham DLR station and in the Lewisham town centre regeneration zone have liquid-screed ground floors with wet underfloor heating. All flooring specified on these systems is confirmed compatible in writing before installation.
Only glue-down LVT goes over the heated screeds in the Lewisham town centre regeneration blocks — click-lock is not rated for constant heat cycling. We keep total thermal resistance at or below 0.15 m²K/W and put the specification in writing on the quote before a plank is ordered.
Floors & Fix Fitting Team did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the installation. The flooring was fitted to a very high standard, and the finished result has completely transformed the space. They kept everything tidy, communicated clearly, and made sure every aspect of the job was completed perfectly. I would highly recommend Jon and the team to anyone looking for quality flooring work and reliable service.

Yes — waterproof and durable. On the suspended timber floors typical of Hither Green and Lee terraces we ply-raft first, then install glue-down LVT.
LVT tolerates light moisture better than laminate. We test moisture at the visit and include a DPM where needed before the adhesive-bond system.
Yes — on the upper-floor chipboard found in Catford conversion flats, LVT installs well. Click-lock or glue-down depending on chipboard condition.
Glue-down LVT held within 0.15 m²K/W total thermal resistance — confirmed in writing for your Lewisham installation.
One day for a kitchen and living area in Lewisham; glue-down LVT needs 24 hours before heavy furniture returns.
