Laminate kitchen flooring in Catford
Fitting Laminate in a Catford 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 Catford homes we visit are edwardian terraces, and the subfloor beneath the old kitchen floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Laminate 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. Bellingham estate has chipboard upstairs (post-war spec); Edwardian terraces have pine boards.

Laminate in a Catford 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 Laminate anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Catford 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 Catford edwardian 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 Catford customers ask us to fit Laminate they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
