Three things that decide a laminate fit in Thamesmead
- 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 Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.
- Stairs
Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
Bottom line: best-value hard floor in Thamesmead. Quick to fit, hard-wearing, easy to live with.
