Mottingham utility rooms — fitted with Laminate
The utility room in a 1920s cottage-estate terrace sees more traffic than people think, and SE9/BR7 is no different. We fit Laminate across Mottingham every month — mostly in 1920s cottage-estate terraces and post-war infill-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.

Cottage estates often have thin chipboard upstairs — checked for deflection before laying laminate or LVT.
Laminate — click-lock wood-effect boards, typically 8–12mm thick. Best suited to bedrooms, living rooms, offices and rentals on a tighter budget. Warranty: 15–25 year wear warranty depending on range.
- Fastest install — a full ground floor typically in a day
- Beading or scotia to skirting for a clean edge
- Fibreboard-backed underlay for footfall reduction
- Levelled and reinforced under the washing machine
