Sometimes — over solid tiles or vinyl, with the right underlay, yes. Over existing carpet, no. We'll check at the site visit.

Local detail

Three things that decide a laminate fit in Abbey Wood

Expansion gaps

Click-lock needs a real expansion gap on every wall — covered by skirting or quality beading, never silicone.

Underlay & DPM

Ground floors in Abbey Wood post-2018 new-build apartments usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.

Stairs

Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
