Kitchen Extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring — Loughton Broadway, IG10
Kitchen-extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring in a Loughton Broadway 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.
Blending new extension floors with existing kitchens in Loughton Broadway
For edwardian terrace Loughton Broadway 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.

Level, thickness and step control on Loughton Broadway extension floors
The new screed in a Loughton Broadway 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.

Getting the heating right in a new Loughton Broadway extension floor

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