Floors & Fix installs LVT across Merton — Wimbledon Park, Raynes Park, Colliers Wood, Mitcham and Morden. LVT's waterproof construction suits the 1930s concrete ground floors in Morden and South Mitcham, and glue-down LVT is compatible with underfloor heating in modern Merton development.
Merton encompasses Wimbledon Park, Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden and Raynes Park — a varied mix of Edwardian semis and Victorian terraces in the northern parts, 1930s–50s semis throughout Mitcham and Morden, and some post-war estate housing. Suspended timber is the dominant ground-floor type in the Edwardian stock; solid concrete or early screed in the 1930s–50s semis. Raynes Park and Wimbledon Park suit premium floor specifications.
61% of Merton's housing stock was built before 1965, with a mix of Edwardian suspended timber and 1930s–50s concrete ground floors across the borough's varied housing neighbourhoods. — ONS Census 2021, dwelling age data, London Borough of Merton
LVT suits Merton's 1930s semi market in Morden and South Mitcham where ground-floor concrete moisture is a factor. LVT's waterproof core tolerates light moisture better than laminate or engineered wood, though adhesive bond still requires moisture within tolerance. On Edwardian and Victorian suspended timber floors in Wimbledon Park, Raynes Park and Colliers Wood, structural ply goes down first. New-build and converted-property UFH takes glue-down LVT at ≤0.15 m²K/W, confirmed in writing.
The Edwardian semis in Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park — on roads like Revelstoke Road, Lake Road and Approach Road — have suspended timber ground floors consistent with Edwardian London construction. These well-proportioned family semis suit a range of floor finishes once the subfloor has been ply-rafted.
On the suspended timber of Merton's Edwardian semis in Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park, LVT needs a rigid deck — we screw 6mm structural ply down first, then fit glue-down or click-lock. Without the ply, click joints separate and a glue-down bond fails as the floor flexes. Preparation is inside the fixed price.
Victorian terraces in Colliers Wood and Mitcham — particularly around Merton High Street and the roads running down towards Morden — have suspended timber ground floors on joists. Many have had extensions to the rear; the original ground-floor construction remains suspended timber throughout the pre-extension part of the property.
The Victorian terraces in Colliers Wood take the same ply raft over their suspended timber ground floor, often running LVT from the original rooms into a rear extension. We assess the extension's concrete for moisture, prime, and bridge both substrates in one floor, priced room by room at the visit.
The 1930s semis filling Morden, South Mitcham and the outer reaches of the borough along the Northern Line extension corridor have solid-concrete ground floors. Moisture readings are variable — we test at every home visit and include a DPM membrane in the fixed price where readings are elevated.
LVT suits the 1930s concrete semis of Morden and South Mitcham well — its waterproof core handles the light moisture these slabs carry better than laminate or wood. We test at the visit, apply a DPM where readings demand it, then fit adhesive-bond LVT on dry concrete or click-lock where moisture is marginal.
Modern residential development on the Wimbledon fringe and around Colliers Wood tube station has introduced screed and wet underfloor heating into the Merton housing mix. Product compatibility for any flooring specified on these systems is confirmed in writing before installation.
Merton's modern fringe screed is an ideal LVT base, but wet UFH means we glue down rather than click-lock and keep combined thermal resistance at or below 0.15 m²K/W, confirmed in writing on the quote.
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 a suspended timber ground floor we ply-raft first, then install LVT.
LVT tolerates light moisture better than laminate. We test at the visit and specify a DPM where readings are elevated before adhesive-bond LVT.
Glue-down LVT at ≤0.15 m²K/W. Confirmed in writing on the quote.
