Lee scratch-proof flooring — dogs, claws and accidents
Big dogs, older cats and puppies in training all destroy the wrong floor. In Lee we spec scratch-rated LVT and rigid SPC with textured finishes so the animal gets grip on turns and you don't get gouges up the hallway. Fully waterproof so accidents don't reach the subfloor.

Victorian terraces often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.

Before we quote a lvt job in Lee
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian terraces subfloors in Lee almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Lee hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

Pet-Friendly Flooring in Lee — common questions
Yes — 2mm acoustic underlay under LVT drops paw noise by roughly 18dB. Standard on Lee 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 terraces hallways have.
