Engineered wood kitchen flooring in West Wickham
Fitting Engineered wood in a West Wickham 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 West Wickham homes we visit are 1930s detached homes, 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. 1930s detached homes here often have herringbone parquet under the carpet — inspected first.
