Buy-to-Let Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Galleywood, CM2
Landlord flooring in Galleywood rewards durability over aesthetics — but 'durable' doesn't mean 'ugly'. Our most-fitted BTL spec across 1930s semi homes is a commercial-grade herringbone-effect LVT: waterproof, 20-year-wear-warranted, and photographs well for listing shots.

Why cost-per-year beats upfront cost on Galleywood rentals
A Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) floor in a Galleywood rental has to be judged on cost-per-tenancy, not cost-per-metre. LVT at £42/m² over 8 years across 3 tenancies = £5.25/m²/tenancy. Engineered oak at £72/m² over 12 years, needing a £18/m² re-sand at year 8 = £6.75/m²/tenancy.
