Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Supplied & Fitted in Westerham
LVT done well looks identical to wood at arm's length. Done badly, it reads cheap. The prep is the difference. Our LVT crews cover Westerham on a regular schedule — TN16 sits about 7 miles from the Sevenoaks hub, just off M25 J5 / A25. Churchill's Chartwell on the village edge.
From £42/m² · 1–2 weeks lead time · 10-year workmanship warranty
Why we recommend LVT here
Westerham's period properties make LVT the right tool. Churchill's Chartwell on the village edge, and that shapes the build-up we quote.

Common pitfalls we plan around
Floors that aren't flat enough
LVT telegraphs every bump. We latex-screed to ±2mm over 2m before a single tile goes down.
Cheap 0.3mm wear layers
Anything under 0.55mm wears through in 5 years on a busy floor. We don't quote it.
Click SPC over UFH
SPC over UFH is slow to heat. We recommend glue-down LVT for any UFH spec.
Materials & finish notes
For period properties like much of Westerham's Westerham pocket, we'd usually spec Karndean Da Vinci in a wood-effect plank finish.
Karndean Da Vinci is our most-fitted LVT — 0.55mm wear layer, glue-down, 20-year warranty.
Loose-lay LVT is brilliant for retail and office fit-outs — relocatable, tile-by-tile replaceable.

Westerham LVT FAQs
- How long is the install?
- 7–10 days on most domestic jobs — latex screed cure time is the rate-limiter, not the lay.
- Will it dent under furniture?
- 0.55mm+ wear layer LVT recovers from point loads. Cheaper 0.3mm doesn't — that's the spec line.
- How long does LVT last?
- 15–25 years on a 0.55mm+ wear layer in a domestic setting. Less if you skimp on wear layer.
- Does it scratch?
- Less than wood. Commercial-grade LVT shrugs off pet claws and chair legs better than oiled oak.
- Click SPC vs glue-down LVT — which?
- Click for fast install, removable, uneven subfloors. Glue-down for UFH, premium look, long-life.
- Is LVT waterproof?
- 100%. Karndean and Amtico LVT will handle a burst pipe — the floor stays, the underlay might need to dry.
- Will LVT look cheap?
- Not if you spec Karndean, Amtico or equivalent and lay it on a properly prepped subfloor. The cheapness is in cheap product and skipped prep.
