Engineered Wood Flooring for HMOs & Shared Houses in Sawbridgeworth
Every Sawbridgeworth HMO floor we quote is priced against the licence renewal cycle, not the marketing brochure. A £42/m² commercial LVT survives 5+ years of HMO use; a £75/m² engineered oak in the same environment needs a re-coat within 24 months.

Class B fire rating and Sawbridgeworth HMO Engineered Wood Flooring
Most Sawbridgeworth HMO licences (issued by the Harlow council) specify Class B or better fire rating on communal and escape-route flooring. We spec Class B-rated LVT or wood ranges as default on Sawbridgeworth HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
Wear grade for Sawbridgeworth HMO tenant turnover
For Sawbridgeworth premium HMOs (professional shares, high-rent CM21 properties) we can spec commercial-grade engineered oak with Bona Traffic HD — same wear grade, warmer aesthetic. Costs 40% more, and worth it for premium rents.
