Around Harlow the A414 / M11 J7-side new build homes we work on average 18–22m² of kitchen extension.

Every dimension is planned on the survey.

Level, thickness and step control on Newhall extension floors
The new screed in a Newhall 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 Newhall
For new build Newhall 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.

Getting the heating right in a new Newhall extension floor
Glue-down to screed on new build Newhall extensions gives the best heat response and eliminates drum-resonance on a hollow-sounding floor. On Newhall extensions we glue-down 85%+ of UFH installs.
Kitchen Extensions in Newhall — questions
- Should the extension floor match the kitchen or the lounge in Newhall?
- In Newhall 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 Newhall 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 Newhall extensions.
- What warranty covers a Newhall kitchen extension floor?
- 10-year workmanship + manufacturer wear warranty (20-year residential typical). We retain UFH commissioning records for manufacturer warranty compliance on every Newhall extension.
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Newhall?
- 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 Newhall extension fit.
- How long does a full Newhall kitchen extension floor take to fit?
- 5–7 working days for a typical Newhall rear extension (18–25m²) plus retained kitchen, including UFH commissioning, subfloor levelling and silicone perimeter.
- How much does a Newhall kitchen extension floor cost?
- Typical Newhall 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.
