Herringbone LVT stairs flooring in Beckenham
Fitting Herringbone LVT in a Beckenham stairs isn't a like-for-like swap — it's the busiest square-metre in any home, so we plan around no visible seam at the landing pivot. Most Beckenham homes we visit are edwardian and 1930s semis, and the subfloor beneath the old stairs floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Herringbone LVT to a stairs 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. Edwardian pine boards need ply overlay; 30s semis often have chipboard upstairs.
