Multi-Occupancy Property Engineered Wood Flooring in Collier Row
In Collier Row we work with a lot of HMO landlords running 3–8 bed shared houses off A12 / A127. The flooring brief is: survive 12+ months of student- or professional-share use between fits, clean up in one day between tenants, and photograph well for the next room advert.
Meeting Collier Row HMO licence conditions on flooring
For 1930s semi Collier Row HMOs with escape-route corridors we sometimes step up to Class Bfl-s1 rated flooring — higher spec, small price increase, generous margin above the licence minimum.
The commercial spec that suits Collier Row HMO living
HMO wear is 2–4× residential — concentrated in the hallway, kitchen and shared living space. We spec Class 33 (commercial-grade) LVT with 6mm+ wear layer for Collier Row HMOs by default. Survives 5+ years of shared-house use without visible degradation.

HMO Engineered Wood Flooring in Collier Row — landlord ROI, tenant durability, licence compliance
Own crew, commercial-grade wear, fire-certified.
A Collier Row HMO floor that ignores fire rating risks the licence; one that ignores commercial-grade wear needs replacing in 24 months. We spec both by default.
