South Norwood Shared-House Engineered Wood Flooring: Landlord Fit
HMOs in South Norwood put the hardest residential wear pattern on a floor of any category — multiple tenants, multiple visitors, mismatched routines, no shared care for the fabric of the building. On South Norwood HMO jobs we spec Engineered Wood Flooring to commercial-grade Class 33 wear, sealed edges throughout, and Class B fire-rated where the SE25 licence demands.
Meeting South Norwood HMO licence conditions on flooring
For victorian villa South Norwood 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.
