Every Surbiton 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 Surbiton HMO Engineered Wood Flooring
Most Surbiton HMO licences (issued by the Kingston 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 Surbiton HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
Wear grade for Surbiton HMO tenant turnover
For Surbiton premium HMOs (professional shares, high-rent KT6 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.
