Herringbone LVT living room flooring in Thamesmead
Fitting Herringbone LVT in a Thamesmead living room isn't a like-for-like swap — it's the room the family actually uses every day, so we plan around sofa indentations. Most Thamesmead homes we visit are 1970s peabody estates, and the subfloor beneath the old living room floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Herringbone LVT is one of the strongest choices for a living room — period hallways, kitchens and open-plan spaces where a real timber herringbone is out of budget. Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.

Herringbone LVT in a Thamesmead living room — common questions
Yes — it's one of the more common choices for a living room in Thamesmead, and it holds up well against sunlight fade near the bay window.
A typical Thamesmead living room 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 Herringbone LVT they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
