Loft & Apartment Conversion Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Kemptown
In Kemptown 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.
Lease-safe flooring in Kemptown (BN2) flats
Every Kemptown flat install includes a written acoustic build-up spec sheet with manufacturer test data, addressed to the freeholder or managing agent. Handed over on completion day.
Why we float on Kemptown flat installs
On Kemptown flats over a habitable room we float every floor — never glue directly to the subfloor. Glued floors transmit impact sound as a rigid drum; floated floors over acoustic underlay attenuate it. This is a rule we don't break in BN2 apartments.

Apartments & Flats in Kemptown — questions
- Can we do this floor with a neighbour below still in residence in Kemptown?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on Kemptown apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
- Can you fit around a fitted Kemptown apartment kitchen?
- Yes — we scribe boards to the kitchen plinth line and finish with matched beading. Only jobs where the kitchen is being replaced anyway get full floor-under-cabinets install.
- Do I need freeholder consent for a Kemptown flat floor replacement?
- In most Kemptown 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 Kemptown flat quote.
- How thick is a lease-compliant floor build-up in Kemptown?
- Typical Kemptown lease-compliant build-up: 22–26mm total (14mm engineered board + 5mm acoustic mat + 3mm underlay + skirting reveal). We plan door clearance on every Kemptown flat survey.
- Is engineered wood better than LVT for a Kemptown apartment?
- For owner-occupied Kemptown flats — engineered wood usually. For BTL and portfolio Kemptown apartments — LVT often. Both meet acoustic requirements on the right build-up.
- How much for an Kemptown 2-bed flat floor?
- Typical Kemptown 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.
