What kitchen flooring actually needs to survive
Every Beaulieu Park kitchen we survey gets checked for subfloor moisture (must be <2% CM for wood, <4% for LVT), appliance layout, and dishwasher / washing-machine risk zones. We route the expansion joint into the layout, not against a wall.
What we specify for Beaulieu Park (CM1) kitchen jobs
Not every Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) range is kitchen-suitable. On Beaulieu Park projects we skip anything with a raw-oil finish or a bevel deeper than 1.5mm — both trap water at the joint.

Getting UFH right on a Beaulieu Park kitchen project
Most Beaulieu Park kitchen extensions built after 2015 run wet UFH. That rules out solid timber and demands a specific engineered build-up — thermally conductive underlay, boards under 20mm, and a slow acclimatisation cycle before the heating goes on.
Kitchen Flooring in Beaulieu Park — questions
- How long does a kitchen re-floor take in Beaulieu Park?
- 3–5 working days for a typical Beaulieu Park kitchen (removal, prep, fit, silicone seal, cure). Longer if we're re-doing the subfloor or if UFH commissioning is part of the job.
- What's the best board width for a Beaulieu Park kitchen?
- Kitchens in new build Beaulieu Park homes work best at 140–180mm. Wider boards read visually flat in narrow galley kitchens; narrower boards look busy against gloss cabinet fronts.
- Does the kitchen need to be out of use during the fit in Beaulieu Park?
- Yes, for the fit day and 24 hours cure. We can work around a fitted kitchen; you just lose kitchen use for 2 nights.
- Is LVT better than engineered wood for a Beaulieu Park kitchen?
- Neither is universally better. LVT is fully waterproof, quieter, and 30% cheaper. Engineered wood adds warmth and resale value in new build homes. For rental Beaulieu Park kitchens LVT usually wins; for owner-occupied we lean engineered.
- Can Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) go over existing kitchen tiles in Beaulieu Park?
- Yes, if the tiles are firmly bonded and level. We check with a straightedge and a moisture meter on the survey. If either fails, tiles come up.
- How much does a kitchen re-floor cost in Beaulieu Park?
- Typical Beaulieu Park kitchens (12–18m²) come in at £1,850–£3,400 in engineered oak fitted, or £1,150–£2,100 in click LVT. Both include prep, underlay and appliance perimeter seal.
