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.

A 30m² West Wickham living room in herringbone is roughly 3–4 days including sand and finish. Basket weave is quicker. Borders add a day.
Often yes — we source reclaimed blocks or match new oak to the tone of your original. Common for 1930s detached and large semis restorations in Coney Hall.
Sealed parquet, yes — with an oil or lacquer finish. Not in a wet zone directly. Most BR4 kitchen parquet installs are in the diner-side, not around the sink.
