Karndean & Amtico herringbone across Bromley BR1/BR2
Done properly, a herringbone LVT floor lasts 15–20 years. Done badly, it shows every subfloor bump and the borders never line up. Across Bromley we screed or ply first, snap the pattern lines off the longest wall, and glue every plank — no clicks, no movement.

Bickley homes often have deep voids under timber boards — extra noggins before LVT.

Almost always with herringbone — LVT shows every bump and the small planks magnify it. In bickley detached homes we usually screed the kitchen and ply the hallway.
