Kitchen Extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring — Petts Wood, BR5
Kitchen-extension Herringbone & Parquet Flooring in a Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood extension join
Direction of run across a Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood kitchen extension floor to the existing kitchen
In 1930s semi Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood — questions
- Can the floor go in before the Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood extensions.
- What warranty covers a Petts Wood kitchen extension floor?
- 10-year workmanship + manufacturer wear warranty (20-year residential typical). We retain UFH commissioning records for manufacturer warranty compliance on every Petts Wood extension.
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Petts Wood?
- 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 Petts Wood extension fit.
- How long does a full Petts Wood kitchen extension floor take to fit?
- 5–7 working days for a typical Petts Wood rear extension (18–25m²) plus retained kitchen, including UFH commissioning, subfloor levelling and silicone perimeter.
- How much does a Petts Wood kitchen extension floor cost?
- Typical Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood 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.
