Mottingham kitchens — fitted with Laminate
The kitchen in a 1920s cottage-estate terrace sees more traffic than people think, and SE9/BR7 is no different. We fit Laminate across Mottingham every month — mostly in 1920s cottage-estate terraces and post-war infill-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Laminate goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. 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.

Cottage estates often have thin chipboard upstairs — checked for deflection before laying laminate or LVT.
Laminate — click-lock wood-effect boards, typically 8–12mm thick. Best suited to bedrooms, living rooms, offices and rentals on a tighter budget. Warranty: 15–25 year wear warranty depending on range.

Laminate in a Mottingham 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 Mottingham 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 Mottingham 1920s cottage-estate 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 Mottingham customers ask us to fit Laminate they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
