Kitchen wear — the three things that kill a floor
In TN3 homes the biggest failure we replace is glue-down floors near dishwashers where the installer skipped a silicone bead. On our kitchens the appliance perimeter is sealed as a standard step, not an upsell.

Underfloor heating & kitchen extensions in Langton Green
On Langton Green (TN3) kitchens with UFH we glue the floor directly to a screed rather than float it — better heat transfer, no drum sound underfoot. Adds roughly £8–£12/m² over a floated build-up but eliminates the two most common UFH complaints.
Kitchen Flooring in Langton Green — questions
- Are there kitchen floors that suit dogs / kids in Langton Green?
- For high-abuse Langton Green kitchens we spec commercial-grade engineered oak or 6.5mm LVT. Both handle claws, spills and thrown Lego without permanent damage.
- Can Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) really handle a working kitchen in Langton Green?
- Yes, with the right finish grade, a sealed appliance perimeter and a moisture-tested subfloor. In Langton Green we've been fitting kitchen Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) on this spec for over a decade with zero failure claims on that build-up.
- How long does a kitchen re-floor take in Langton Green?
- 3–5 working days for a typical Langton Green 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 Langton Green kitchen?
- Kitchens in conservation cottage Langton Green 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 Langton Green?
- 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 Langton Green kitchen?
- Neither is universally better. LVT is fully waterproof, quieter, and 30% cheaper. Engineered wood adds warmth and resale value in conservation cottage homes. For rental Langton Green kitchens LVT usually wins; for owner-occupied we lean engineered.
