Bexleyheath herringbone vinyl flooring — fitted with borders
Herringbone is the most-requested LVT pattern we fit in Bexleyheath — usually in oak or smoked finishes, often with a single inlay border around the room edge. It works beautifully in large 1930s and 1950s semis where it picks up natural light from the front bay.

1950s semis usually have chipboard upstairs — checked for squeaks and re-screwed first.

What we check first on a Bexleyheath lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — large 1930s and 1950s semis subfloors in Bexleyheath almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Bexleyheath hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
Bottom line: a Bexleyheath herringbone floor is half about the pattern, half about the subfloor. We do both.
