- Bromley subfloor reality
Bickley homes often have deep voids under timber boards — extra noggins before LVT.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Bromley 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.
- Only UFH-rated LVT, laminate and engineered wood used
- Underlay kept below 1.0 tog so heat actually reaches the room
- Perimeter expansion gap sized for full UFH cycle
- Manifold and probes protected during fit
Bottom line: a UFH floor is only as good as the plank and underlay above it. We spec both for your Bromley system.

Flooring Over Underfloor Heating in Bromley — common questions
Yes — dropped to 15–18°C for 48 hours before, off during the fit, then ramped back up 2°C per day. We give you the schedule in writing after the Bromley survey.
55°C at the plank, 27°C at the floor surface — the industry standard. Above that, planks cup and joints open. We commission with your plumber so we know the ramp-up.
For heat transfer, yes — 4–5mm LVT sits directly on the screed with a very low thermal resistance. Most new Bromley kitchens over UFH now go LVT for that reason.
Yes — but only UFH-rated boards (usually 8mm HDF core, marked on the pack) with an underlay under 1.0 tog. Standard 12mm click laminate will insulate your UFH and cost you heat.
