Kitchen Extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring — Bromley Central, BR1
Kitchen-extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring in a Bromley Central 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.
Matching batch, board and direction across a Bromley Central extension join
Direction of run across a Bromley Central extension floor is always continuous from old kitchen into new. Changing direction at the former external wall reads as two rooms; keeping direction reads as one.

Level-matching a Bromley Central kitchen extension floor to the existing kitchen
In apartment Bromley Central extensions the existing kitchen floor may be original Victorian pine boards on joists, and the new extension is on a beam-and-block or ground-bearing slab. The build-up thickness has to be planned so both meet flush — often specifying a thinner engineered board over the extension.

Kitchen Extensions in Bromley Central — questions
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Bromley Central?
- 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 Bromley Central extension fit.
- How long does a full Bromley Central kitchen extension floor take to fit?
- 5–7 working days for a typical Bromley Central rear extension (18–25m²) plus retained kitchen, including UFH commissioning, subfloor levelling and silicone perimeter.
- How much does a Bromley Central kitchen extension floor cost?
- Typical Bromley Central 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 Bromley Central 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 Bromley Central extension over UFH?
- Yes — engineered wood is the ideal spec for Bromley Central 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 Bromley Central 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.
