Victorian cottages often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Bexley hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.

Pet-Friendly Flooring in Bexley — common questions
Yes — 2mm acoustic underlay under LVT drops paw noise by roughly 18dB. Standard on Bexley first-floor pet fits.
Stain-resistant loop pile or solution-dyed nylon — both let you mop or spot-clean accidents without a mark. Standard wool will hold the stain forever.
Not the wear-rated ranges we fit. AC5 LVT is tested for commercial retail traffic — a house cat can't get through the top layer. Cheaper £15/m² LVT will mark within weeks.
Rigid SPC with a 0.55mm+ wear layer and a textured (not smooth) finish. It's fully waterproof, claws don't mark it, and it gives dogs grip on the turns most victorian cottages hallways have.
