Kitchen Extension Engineered Wood Flooring — Cassiobury, WD17
Kitchen-extension Engineered Wood Flooring in a Cassiobury home is a level-matching, batch-matching and UFH-commissioning job before it's a board-fitting job. We plan all three before ordering material — because you can't unfit a 40mm board mismatch after the fact.
Making the extension read as one floor with the existing kitchen
On Cassiobury kitchen extensions we specify the whole floor — extension plus retained kitchen — as one order, from one batch. Trying to match into a 5-year-old kitchen board never works; the new boards read fresh, the old ones read weathered. Better answer: re-do both, so they're the same age from Day 1.

Getting the height transition right in Cassiobury rear extensions
Where the two levels genuinely can't be matched (rare, but real), we design a two-step visual transition with a matched threshold ramp — never a 'hope no-one notices' butt-join.

Kitchen Extensions in Cassiobury — questions
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Cassiobury?
- New screed needs 1 week per centimetre to dry — a 75mm slab needs 7–10 weeks before flooring is safe. Dehumidification can accelerate; guessing cannot. We CM-test on every Cassiobury extension fit.
- How long does a full Cassiobury kitchen extension floor take to fit?
- 5–7 working days for a typical Cassiobury rear extension (18–25m²) plus retained kitchen, including UFH commissioning, subfloor levelling and silicone perimeter.
- How much does a Cassiobury kitchen extension floor cost?
- Typical Cassiobury extension (20–25m² new + 10m² retained kitchen) in engineered oak with UFH: £3,800–£6,400 fitted. In LVT: £2,200–£3,900. Both include commissioning and silicone perimeter.
- How do I match the level between my Cassiobury extension and existing kitchen?
- Under 3mm difference we ramp with matched threshold. Above 3mm we level with self-levelling compound before fit. We measure both levels on the survey and price accordingly.
- Can I have engineered wood in a Cassiobury extension over UFH?
- Yes — engineered wood is the ideal spec for Cassiobury extensions over UFH. Certified UFH-compatible ranges, glued down to screed, run at up to 27°C surface temperature. Solid wood cannot go here.
- Do we need to remove existing kitchen units on a Cassiobury extension floor job?
- Usually no — we fit up to the plinth line with colour-matched beading. Only jobs where the kitchen is being replaced anyway get full floor-under-cabinets install.
