Engineered wood for the bathroom, West Wickham
You'll find Engineered wood in a lot of West Wickham bathrooms these days, and there's a reason: genuine hardwood top layer over a plywood or HDF base — oak, walnut, smoked. In BR4 1930s detached homes, the tricky part is usually slip resistance on wet feet, and that's what a proper survey deals with before any material is ordered. We're the A232, 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 West Wickham 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 West Wickham 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 West Wickham 1930s detached homes 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 West Wickham customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
