HMO Flooring — Great Baddow, CM2
HMO Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Great Baddow 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.
Surviving multi-let use in Great Baddow shared houses
Kitchen and dishwasher zones on Great Baddow HMOs get silicone-sealed perimeters and waterproof-core LVT — HMO water damage claims are the number-one flooring claim from landlord policies.
