HMO Flooring — Kingston Central, KT1
HMO Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Kingston Central 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.
Wear grade for Kingston Central HMO tenant turnover
For Kingston Central premium HMOs (professional shares, high-rent KT1 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.
