Engineered wood kitchen flooring in Lee
Fitting Engineered wood in a Lee 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 Lee homes we visit are 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. Victorian terraces often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.

Engineered wood in a Lee kitchen — common questions
Yes — we cover all of SE12/SE13 and the surrounding area. Small kitchen fits are welcome; we don't have a minimum job size.
25 year structural warranty on the plank on the material, plus our own fitting workmanship guarantee. Everything is confirmed in writing on the quote.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Lee customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Lee victorian 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.
