Laminate is a brilliant value choice when you want the look of wood without the price. We supply and fit click-lock laminate with proper underlay, beading and thresholds for a finish that looks built-in.

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.
Laminate vs LVT — which is better?
LVT is waterproof and feels softer underfoot; laminate is cheaper and quicker to fit. For bedrooms and lounges, laminate is excellent value. For kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend LVT.

Local detail

Three things that decide a laminate fit in Thamesmead

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 Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.

Stairs

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