Engineered wood kitchen flooring in Kidbrooke
Fitting Engineered wood in a Kidbrooke kitchen isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a busy, splash-prone workspace, so we plan around matching an existing kickboard line. Most Kidbrooke homes we visit are berkeley homes new-builds, 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. New-build screed is LVT-ready; 1930s semis need ply over the pine boards.
