Catford bathrooms — fitted with Engineered wood
The bathroom in a edwardian terrace sees more traffic than people think, and SE6 is no different. We fit Engineered wood across Catford every month — mostly in Edwardian terraces, 1930s Bellingham estate semis and ex-council flats-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Engineered wood goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Engineered wood to a bathroom is a specialist install — done carefully it looks brilliant, but it's not the default choice, and we'll be honest about that on the site visit.

Engineered wood in a Catford bathroom — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a bathroom, we'd normally recommend lvt or karndean. If you want Engineered wood anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Catford bathroom is one working day for the install, plus a separate morning if subfloor screed is needed. We'll confirm at the site visit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Catford edwardian terraces have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Catford customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
