Loft & Apartment Conversion Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Collier Row
In Collier Row apartments and loft conversions we fit floors that have to keep the neighbour below happy for decades. That means dense acoustic underlay (not the manufacturer's default foam), floated installation over the acoustic mat (never glue-down over a habitable room below), and a written spec sheet the freeholder can file.
Impact and airborne sound on Collier Row apartment Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC)
Standard Collier Row lease clause: IIC 60+ impact sound, STC 55+ airborne. Our standard flat build-up: 5mm dense wool-fibre acoustic mat + 3mm rubber-crumb underlay + engineered board. Tests at IIC 66, STC 58 — comfortably above lease minimum.
Fixing method for Collier Row leasehold flats
For Collier Row ground-floor flats and lofts (no habitable room below) glue-down is fine and often better for UFH efficiency. The acoustic requirement drives the decision, not the material.

Apartments & Flats in Collier Row — questions
- Do I need freeholder consent for a Collier Row flat floor replacement?
- In most Collier Row leases — yes, if the existing floor is carpet and you're switching to hard flooring. Our acoustic spec sheet is what the freeholder needs to approve. We provide it as part of every Collier Row flat quote.
- How thick is a lease-compliant floor build-up in Collier Row?
- Typical Collier Row lease-compliant build-up: 22–26mm total (14mm engineered board + 5mm acoustic mat + 3mm underlay + skirting reveal). We plan door clearance on every Collier Row flat survey.
- Is engineered wood better than LVT for a Collier Row apartment?
- For owner-occupied Collier Row flats — engineered wood usually. For BTL and portfolio Collier Row apartments — LVT often. Both meet acoustic requirements on the right build-up.
- How much for an Collier Row 2-bed flat floor?
- Typical Collier Row 2-bed apartment (55–75m²) in engineered oak with acoustic build-up: £3,400–£5,600. In LVT: £2,100–£3,400. Both include acoustic spec sheet and lease-compliance paperwork.
- Can I glue-down a floor in my Collier Row first-floor flat?
- No — over a habitable room below, always floated over acoustic underlay. Glue-down transmits impact sound directly through the structure and fails most Collier Row lease clauses.
- How long does a Collier Row flat floor fit take?
- 3–5 working days for a typical Collier Row 60–80m² apartment, including acoustic underlay layer-up, board fit, perimeter detail and paperwork.
