Engineered wood utility room flooring in West Wickham
Fitting Engineered wood in a West Wickham 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 waterproof around the boiler condensate. Most West Wickham homes we visit are 1930s detached homes, 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. 1930s detached homes here often have herringbone parquet under the carpet — inspected first.

Engineered wood in a West Wickham utility room — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a utility room, we'd normally recommend lvt or karndean. If you want Engineered wood anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical West Wickham utility 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 West Wickham 1930s detached homes 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 West Wickham customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
