Kitchen Extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring — Cassiobury, WD17
Kitchen-extension Herringbone & Parquet 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
- Can I blend a new extension floor into my existing Cassiobury kitchen?
- Yes — but the winning strategy is to re-do both floors together, from one batch. Trying to match into an existing floor almost always shows the join. Costs more but reads seamless.
- Should the extension floor match the kitchen or the lounge in Cassiobury?
- In Cassiobury open-plan extensions the floor should match both — one continuous run through kitchen, dining and living. Zoning by flooring change is out of fashion and never re-sells well.
- Can the floor go in before the Cassiobury extension kitchen is fitted?
- Ideal sequencing: floor first, kitchen second. Puts the floor under the kitchen (better resale, better waterproofing) and avoids kitchen plinth transitions. We work this way on 70% of Cassiobury extensions.
- What warranty covers a Cassiobury kitchen extension floor?
- 10-year workmanship + manufacturer wear warranty (20-year residential typical). We retain UFH commissioning records for manufacturer warranty compliance on every Cassiobury extension.
- 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.
