Laminate for the utility room, Thamesmead
You'll find Laminate in a lot of Thamesmead utility rooms these days, and there's a reason: click-lock wood-effect boards, typically 8–12mm thick. In SE28 1970s peabody estates, the tricky part is usually a hard-wearing surface for cleaning kit, and that's what a proper survey deals with before any material is ordered. We're the A2016 (Bronze Age Way), so a same-week visit is the norm. 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.

- Beading or scotia to skirting for a clean edge
- Fibreboard-backed underlay for footfall reduction
- Levelled and reinforced under the washing machine

Laminate in a Thamesmead 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 Laminate anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead customers ask us to fit Laminate they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
