Waterproof kitchen LVT across Thamesmead SE28

LVT has replaced sheet vinyl as the default kitchen floor in Thamesmead. It's waterproof, warm underfoot, and survives chair legs, pet claws and the occasional dropped pan. In 1970s peabody estates we screed the kitchen first so the plank pattern reads dead-flat.
Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.

- Compatible with most underfloor heating
Thamesmead lvt — the details that matter

Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Thamesmead hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
