Local detail

Orpington laminate — the details that matter

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 Orpington 1930s 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.
