Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) for Kitchen Extensions in Bickley
Around Bromley the A222 / A21-side victorian villa homes we work on average 18–22m² of kitchen extension. The winning spec: engineered oak in a mid-width (180mm), matte hardwax oil, glued to a fresh screed over wet UFH, continuous into the retained kitchen boards. Every dimension is planned on the survey.

Getting the height transition right in Bickley 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.
Making the extension read as one floor with the existing kitchen
On Bickley 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.

UFH commissioning for Bickley kitchen extensions
Build-up on Bickley extension UFH floors: max 20mm total. Board 14–15mm, thermal underlay 4–5mm. Anything thicker slows response and costs energy.
Kitchen Extensions in Bickley — questions
- What warranty covers a Bickley kitchen extension floor?
- 10-year workmanship + manufacturer wear warranty (20-year residential typical). We retain UFH commissioning records for manufacturer warranty compliance on every Bickley extension.
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Bickley?
- 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 Bickley extension fit.
- How long does a full Bickley kitchen extension floor take to fit?
- 5–7 working days for a typical Bickley rear extension (18–25m²) plus retained kitchen, including UFH commissioning, subfloor levelling and silicone perimeter.
- How much does a Bickley kitchen extension floor cost?
- Typical Bickley 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 Bickley 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 Bickley extension over UFH?
- Yes — engineered wood is the ideal spec for Bickley extensions over UFH. Certified UFH-compatible ranges, glued down to screed, run at up to 27°C surface temperature. Solid wood cannot go here.
