Engineered wood kitchen flooring in Welling
Fitting Engineered wood in a Welling kitchen isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a busy, splash-prone workspace, so we plan around grease and chair-scrape resistance. Most Welling homes we visit are 1930s 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. Falconwood bungalows often sit on solid concrete — minimal prep, ideal for LVT.

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