Yes — best time. We can go in the day after handover, finish before removals, and the floor gets no scuff marks.
Often yes. We use a calcium carbide meter on the visit — if it's over 2% CM we'll recommend waiting or applying a moisture barrier.
Only the ranges rated for it — max 27°C surface, tog ≤1.5. We only quote UFH-approved LVT for these homes.
We'd advise fitting kitchen last on LVT — that way you can pull the fridge/oven without lifting planks in the future.
