Kitchen Extension Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Sanderstead, CR2
Kitchen-extension Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in a Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead
For 1930s semi Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead extension floors
The new screed in a Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead extension floor
Glue-down to screed on 1930s semi Sanderstead extensions gives the best heat response and eliminates drum-resonance on a hollow-sounding floor. On Sanderstead extensions we glue-down 85%+ of UFH installs.
Kitchen Extensions in Sanderstead — questions
- Can the floor go in before the Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead extensions.
- What warranty covers a Sanderstead kitchen extension floor?
- 10-year workmanship + manufacturer wear warranty (20-year residential typical). We retain UFH commissioning records for manufacturer warranty compliance on every Sanderstead extension.
- How long after the extension is finished can I fit the floor in Sanderstead?
- 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 Sanderstead extension fit.
- How long does a full Sanderstead kitchen extension floor take to fit?
- 5–7 working days for a typical Sanderstead rear extension (18–25m²) plus retained kitchen, including UFH commissioning, subfloor levelling and silicone perimeter.
- How much does a Sanderstead kitchen extension floor cost?
- Typical Sanderstead 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 Sanderstead 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.
