Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) for Kitchen Extensions in Kingston Central
Around Kingston the A308 / A3-side apartment 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.

Level-matching a Kingston Central kitchen extension floor to the existing kitchen
In apartment Kingston Central 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.
Matching batch, board and direction across a Kingston Central extension join
Direction of run across a Kingston Central 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.

Kitchen Extensions in Kingston Central — questions
- Should the extension floor match the kitchen or the lounge in Kingston Central?
- In Kingston Central 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 Kingston Central 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 Kingston Central extensions.
- What warranty covers a Kingston Central kitchen extension floor?
- 10-year workmanship + manufacturer wear warranty (20-year residential typical). We retain UFH commissioning records for manufacturer warranty compliance on every Kingston Central extension.
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Kingston Central?
- 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 Kingston Central extension fit.
- 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.
