Blackfen utility rooms — fitted with Laminate
The utility room in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and DA15 is no different. We fit Laminate across Blackfen every month — mostly in Almost entirely 1930s bay-fronted semis-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Laminate goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Laminate 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.

Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Blackfen customers ask us to fit Laminate they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Blackfen 1930s bay-fronted semis have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
