Kingston Central Rear-Extension Flooring: Herringbone & Parquet Flooring Fitted
Kitchen extensions are the busiest flooring category we quote in Kingston Central. Most are rear extensions or side-returns on Victorian, Edwardian or 1930s apartment homes, adding 12–25m² of new floor to a kitchen that already exists. The floor has to blend — same board, same direction, same level — even though the two subfloors are 100 years apart.
Level, thickness and step control on Kingston Central extension floors
The new screed in a Kingston Central kitchen extension is rarely at the exact height of the existing kitchen subfloor. On our surveys we measure both — target is under 3mm difference across the join. Above 3mm and we ramp with a matched threshold; above 8mm and we level with SLC before fit.

Blending new extension floors with existing kitchens in Kingston Central
For apartment Kingston Central kitchens where the retained floor is Victorian solid pine and the extension is a new engineered oak, we design a deliberate transition — solid oak threshold band between old and new. Reads intentional, not retrofit.

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