What we check first on a Blackfen laminate job
- Expansion gaps
Click-lock needs a real expansion gap on every wall — covered by skirting or quality beading, never silicone.
- Underlay & DPM
Ground floors in Blackfen 1930s bay-fronted semis usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.

Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
