Engineered wood kitchen flooring in New Eltham
Fitting Engineered wood in a New Eltham 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 New Eltham homes we visit are 1930s bay-fronted 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. Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
