New Eltham bathrooms — fitted with Laminate
The bathroom in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and SE9 is no different. We fit Laminate across New Eltham every month — mostly in 1930s bay-fronted semis with a scattering of post-war infill-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Laminate goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Laminate 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.

Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
Laminate — click-lock wood-effect boards, typically 8–12mm thick. Best suited to bedrooms, living rooms, offices and rentals on a tighter budget. Warranty: 15–25 year wear warranty depending on range.
- Fastest install — a full ground floor typically in a day
- Beading or scotia to skirting for a clean edge
- Fibreboard-backed underlay for footfall reduction
- Silicone-sealed perimeter — no gap for water

Laminate in a New Eltham 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 Laminate anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical New Eltham 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 New Eltham 1930s bay-fronted semis 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 New Eltham customers ask us to fit Laminate they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
