Engineered wood kitchen flooring in Beckenham
Fitting Engineered wood in a Beckenham kitchen isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a busy, splash-prone workspace, so we plan around waterproofing at the sink and dishwasher. Most Beckenham homes we visit are edwardian and 1930s semis, and the subfloor beneath the old kitchen floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Engineered wood to a kitchen 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. Edwardian pine boards need ply overlay; 30s semis often have chipboard upstairs.
