What we check first on a West Wickham laminate job
- Expansion gaps
Click-lock needs a real expansion gap on every wall — covered by skirting or quality beading, never silicone.
- Underlay & DPM
Ground floors in West Wickham 1930s detached homes usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.
- Stairs
Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
