What we check first on a Barnehurst laminate job

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 Barnehurst 1930s bay-fronted semis usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.

Stairs

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

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