Engineered wood kitchen flooring in Hither Green
Fitting Engineered wood in a Hither Green 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 Hither Green homes we visit are corbett estate victorian terraces, 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. Corbett estate has original pine boards throughout — plywood overlay before LVT is standard.
