West Wickham scratch-proof flooring — dogs, claws and accidents
Most West Wickham pet-flooring calls follow the same pattern: a laminate that scratched, a carpet that stained, a vinyl that curled at the door. We fit LVT rated AC5+ with a 0.55mm wear layer — claws don't mark it, and the whole floor mops clean.

1930s detached homes here often have herringbone parquet under the carpet — inspected first.

Before we quote a lvt job in West Wickham
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s detached homes subfloors in West Wickham 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 West Wickham hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

Pet-Friendly Flooring in West Wickham — common questions
Yes — 2mm acoustic underlay under LVT drops paw noise by roughly 18dB. Standard on West Wickham 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 1930s detached homes hallways have.
