What we check first on a Sidcup 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 Sidcup 1930s bay-fronted 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.

Parquet Block Flooring in Sidcup — common questions
Sealed parquet, yes — with an oil or lacquer finish. Not in a wet zone directly. Most DA14/DA15 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 Mostly 1930s, with newer flats around the station restorations in Sidcup Hill.
A 30m² Sidcup 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 Sidcup customers choose engineered unless restoring an original.
