Apartment Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Lindfield, RH16
Flat Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Lindfield is 60% acoustics, 40% aesthetics. Get the acoustic build-up right and the floor never comes up on a lease renewal or sale. Get it wrong and the freeholder has grounds to require replacement — a rare but real outcome we've seen twice this year.
Why we float on Lindfield flat installs
On Lindfield 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 RH16 apartments.

Apartments & Flats in Lindfield — questions
- Does the Lindfield building need to be notified?
- Yes, in most Lindfield leasehold buildings — 14 days' written notice to the managing agent. We provide the template letter as part of every Lindfield flat quote.
- What acoustic rating do I need for a Lindfield apartment floor?
- Standard Lindfield lease minimum is IIC 55 or 60, with STC 55 airborne. Our default build-up tests at IIC 66/STC 58 — comfortably above both.
- Can we do this floor with a neighbour below still in residence in Lindfield?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on Lindfield apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
- Can you fit around a fitted Lindfield 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 Lindfield flat floor replacement?
- In most Lindfield 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 Lindfield flat quote.
- How thick is a lease-compliant floor build-up in Lindfield?
- Typical Lindfield lease-compliant build-up: 22–26mm total (14mm engineered board + 5mm acoustic mat + 3mm underlay + skirting reveal). We plan door clearance on every Lindfield flat survey.
