Engineered wood kitchen flooring in Petts Wood
Fitting Engineered wood in a Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood homes we visit are 1930s mock-tudor detached, 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 parquet is common under old carpet — we always lift to inspect before quoting a replacement.

Engineered wood in a Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood 1930s mock-tudor detached 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 Petts Wood customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
