Engineered wood utility room flooring in Mottingham
Fitting Engineered wood in a Mottingham utility room isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a small room with a washing machine and dryer running most days, so we plan around vibration-tolerant finish under the washer. Most Mottingham homes we visit are 1920s cottage-estate terraces, and the subfloor beneath the old utility room floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Engineered wood to a utility room 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.
