Converted industrial flats often have polished concrete — checked for moisture before LVT.
“Jordan was so helpful and fit in to our dates. Even though we didn't know what they would be. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you.” — Georgina Bozza, verified Google review

Crayford laminate — the details that matter
- 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 Crayford 1930s semis usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.
- Stairs
Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
In short — parquet block flooring in Crayford from £55/m² fitted, herringbone or basket weave.

Parquet Block Flooring in Crayford — common questions
Sealed parquet, yes — with an oil or lacquer finish. Not in a wet zone directly. Most DA1 kitchen parquet installs are in the diner-side, not around the sink.
Often yes — we source reclaimed blocks or match new oak to the tone of your original. Common for 1930s semis, terraces off Crayford Road, plus converted industrial flats restorations in Barnes Cray.
A 30m² Crayford living room in herringbone is roughly 3–4 days including sand and finish. Basket weave is quicker. Borders add a day.
Solid parquet is period-correct and can be sanded many times; engineered parquet is stable for modern heating and pre-finished. Most Crayford customers choose engineered unless restoring an original.
