Multi-Occupancy Property Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Bickley
In Bickley we work with a lot of HMO landlords running 3–8 bed shared houses off A222 / A21. 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.
Class B fire rating and Bickley HMO Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC)
Most Bickley HMO licences (issued by the Bromley 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 Bickley HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
Wear grade for Bickley HMO tenant turnover
For Bickley premium HMOs (professional shares, high-rent BR1 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.

Shared Houses & HMOs in Bickley — questions
- Do you handle Bickley HMO portfolios?
- Yes — from 3 properties across the year. Fixed rate, batched material supply, coordinated scheduling around licence renewals and EPC/gas-safe visits. Portfolio saving typically 15–20% vs one-off pricing.
- How long does a Bickley 6-bed HMO fit take?
- 5–7 working days for a full re-floor including all bedrooms, kitchen, communal areas and hallways. Room-by-room sequencing keeps some rooms usable throughout.
- How do I protect the HMO Bickley floor between tenancies?
- Silicone perimeter (no scotia to trap hair and dirt), commercial-grade wear layer, and a between-tenant cleaning protocol — pH-neutral cleaner, mop-and-dry only. We provide the protocol in the handover pack.
- What warranty applies to a Bickley HMO flooring install?
- 10-year workmanship warranty (same as owner-occupied), plus manufacturer wear warranty (typically 20-year residential / 5-year commercial for LVT). Fire-rating certificate provided separately for licence purposes.
- What fire rating do I need on my Bickley HMO floor?
- Class B minimum for most Bickley HMO licences, Class Bfl-s1 for escape routes. Our default HMO spec is Class B-rated, with the certificate included in the quote pack for licence filing.
- Do you handle single-room Bickley HMO turnovers?
- Yes — 1-day turnovers for individual bedrooms, 2-day for bedroom + en-suite. Priced separately from full fit-outs. Same-crew for all rooms across a portfolio.

Own crew, commercial-grade wear, fire-certified.
