Slade Green kitchens — fitted with Engineered wood
The kitchen in a post-war terrace sees more traffic than people think, and DA8 is no different. We fit Engineered wood across Slade Green every month — mostly in Post-war terraces, railway-worker cottages and 1980s cul-de-sac semis-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Engineered wood goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. 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.

Engineered wood — genuine hardwood top layer over a plywood or HDF base — oak, walnut, smoked. Best suited to living rooms, dining rooms and hallways where the look of solid oak matters. Warranty: 25 year structural warranty on the plank.
- 3mm+ real wood top layer — can be sanded once in its life
- Glued, secret-nailed or floated depending on subfloor
- Compatible with underfloor heating on the right subfloor
- Sealed edge around the kickboard and appliances

Engineered wood in a Slade Green 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 Slade Green 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 Slade Green post-war 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.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Slade Green customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
