Thamesmead kitchens — fitted with LVT
The kitchen in a 1970s peabody estate sees more traffic than people think, and SE28 is no different. We fit LVT across Thamesmead every month — mostly in 1970s Peabody-era estates transitioning to mid-rise new-builds-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, LVT goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. LVT is one of the strongest choices for a kitchen — kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and open-plan living.

Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
LVT — convincing wood or stone print in plank, tile or herringbone. Best suited to kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and open-plan living. Warranty: 20–25 year manufacturer wear warranty.
- Repairable tile-by-tile if a plank ever gets damaged
- 5–7mm thick with a 0.55mm wear layer for domestic use
- Waterproof surface — safe near sinks, showers and boilers
- Sealed edge around the kickboard and appliances

LVT in a Thamesmead kitchen — common questions
Yes — it's one of the more common choices for a kitchen in Thamesmead, and it holds up well against matching an existing kickboard line.
A typical Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead customers ask us to fit LVT they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
