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

Three things that decide a lvt fit in Chislehurst
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian and edwardian detached homes subfloors in Chislehurst 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 Chislehurst hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
Bottom line: a Chislehurst herringbone floor is half about the pattern, half about the subfloor. We do both.
