Mottingham dining rooms — fitted with Herringbone LVT
The dining room in a 1920s cottage-estate terrace sees more traffic than people think, and SE9/BR7 is no different. We fit Herringbone LVT across Mottingham every month — mostly in 1920s cottage-estate terraces and post-war infill-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Herringbone LVT goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Herringbone LVT is one of the strongest choices for a dining room — period hallways, kitchens and open-plan spaces where a real timber herringbone is out of budget.

Herringbone LVT in a Mottingham dining room — common questions
Yes — it's one of the more common choices for a dining room in Mottingham, and it holds up well against a rug-friendly base.
A typical Mottingham dining room 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 Mottingham 1920s cottage-estate 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 Mottingham customers ask us to fit Herringbone LVT they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
