Engineered wood for the bathroom, Lee
You'll find Engineered wood in a lot of Lee bathrooms these days, and there's a reason: genuine hardwood top layer over a plywood or HDF base — oak, walnut, smoked. In SE12/SE13 victorian terraces, the tricky part is usually warm-underfoot feel out of the shower, and that's what a proper survey deals with before any material is ordered. We're the South Circular (A205), so a same-week visit is the norm. 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 Lee 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 Lee 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 Lee victorian 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 Lee customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
