HMO Flooring — Thornton Heath, CR7
HMO Engineered Wood Flooring in Thornton Heath isn't the same brief as a standard BTL — the tenant density is 2–4× higher, the shared-space wear is concentrated, and the licence-compliance overlay adds a fire-rating requirement most landlords don't check on the fitter's quote.

Most Thornton Heath HMO licences (issued by the Croydon 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 Thornton Heath HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
