Charlton kitchens — fitted with Engineered wood
The kitchen in a victorian village terrace sees more traffic than people think, and SE7 is no different. We fit Engineered wood across Charlton every month — mostly in Victorian terraces around the village, modern riverside apartments on the Thames-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Engineered wood goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. 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.

Riverside blocks have leasehold acoustic specs — we always use the specified underlay.
Engineered wood — genuine hardwood top layer over a plywood or HDF base — oak, walnut, smoked. Best suited to living rooms, dining rooms and hallways where the look of solid oak matters. Warranty: 25 year structural warranty on the plank.

Engineered wood in a Charlton kitchen — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a kitchen, we'd normally recommend lvt or karndean. If you want Engineered wood anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Charlton kitchen 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 Charlton victorian village 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 Charlton customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
