Petts Wood detached homes often have decorative parquet — sometimes worth restoring instead.

Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Orpington hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

SPC Click Flooring in Orpington — common questions
Yes — most SPC ranges are UFH-rated up to 27°C surface temp. Same UFH rules as any thin-plank flooring.
Yes — one of SPC's main advantages. Rigid core spans grout lines up to 5mm. We regularly overlay old kitchen tiles in BR5/BR6 without lifting them.
Yes — the plank itself is waterproof and the click joint is sealed. A Petts Wood kitchen spill sits on top and mops off, doesn't reach the subfloor.
Glue-down LVT wins on ultimate longevity in a perfect kitchen. SPC wins on installation speed, subfloor tolerance and reversibility — matters more in most Orpington homes.
