What we check first on a West Wickham laminate job
- 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 West Wickham 1930s detached homes usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.
- Stairs
Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
- Click-lock laminate with foam or fibreboard underlay
- Beading, thresholds and door trims included
- 8mm and 12mm ranges priced clearly
- Old floor uplifted and disposed
Bottom line: for the 1930s detached homes hallway spec 12mm; for bedrooms 8mm is fine.
