Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) for New-Build Homes in How Wood

What developer and self-buyer new-builds need at handover in How Wood

New-Build Homes in How Wood — questions

How much for a new-build fit-out in How Wood?

Typical 3-bed How Wood new-build (85–110m²) in engineered oak throughout, fitted over UFH with commissioning: £6,800–£11,500. LVT throughout: £4,400–£7,200.

Is the developer's fitted floor good enough in How Wood?

Sometimes — depends on the developer. Volume builders in How Wood typically fit a mid-grade laminate or basic LVT to hit price points. Upgrading to engineered oak at first-fit is 30% cheaper than replacing after occupation.

Are new-build floors warrantied differently in How Wood?

Same 10-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranty may require CM moisture reading records for UFH claims — we retain these on every How Wood new-build install.

Do new-build floors need special maintenance in How Wood?

First 12 months in a new-build: keep humidity between 40–60%, avoid rugs for 4 weeks, and re-oil hardwax finishes at month 12. Standard maintenance thereafter.

Can I fit Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) directly over the developer's UFH in How Wood?

Yes — with a commissioning cycle before and after fit, a thermally-conductive underlay, and a max 20mm total build-up. We handle all three on How Wood new-build installs.

Can you fit floors before the developer completes the How Wood kitchen?

Ideal sequencing on How Wood new-builds is: screed cured → floor fit → skirting fit → kitchen install. This puts the floor under the kitchen, adds resale value and avoids kitchen-plinth transitions.
