Hanover Kitchen Flooring Specialists
A kitchen floor in Hanover (BN2) has to do three things plank flooring in the rest of the house doesn't: shrug off spills, survive dropped pans and stay stable over underfloor heating. We fit kitchens in Hanover weekly and the spec we land on is usually one of three: rigid-core LVT, kitchen-grade engineered oak, or sealed herringbone parquet.
Material options for a Hanover kitchen install
Rigid-core LVT (£42–£68/m² fitted) — fully waterproof, UFH-ready, 50+ designs from oak through stone. Engineered oak with kitchen-grade lacquer (£62–£95/m² fitted) — sealed against splashes, repairable without rip-up. Sealed herringbone parquet (£88–£140/m² fitted) — premium look, full glue-down over UFH.
Solid wood we do NOT recommend for kitchens — moisture cycling cups boards within two years. Laminate we also avoid — joint swelling on the inevitable dishwasher leak.
Underfloor heating in Hanover kitchens
For wet UFH systems on a Hanover new-build, we always full-glue down — click installs trap a tiny air gap that drops heating efficiency by 8–12%.
Parquet over UFH works beautifully but is unforgiving — needs full glue, the right adhesive, and a moisture-tested screed. Worth the extra labour in the right Hanover (BN2) kitchen.

Avoiding transition strips on Hanover kitchen extensions
Door thresholds into untouched rooms (utility, bathroom) get a brushed-steel or matching scotia threshold. Looks intentional, doesn't trap dirt.
Most Hanover extensions we floor are now single-material throughout the kitchen-diner-living footprint — usually 220mm+ engineered oak boards. Skip the transition strip, gain visual flow, and the install is faster because there's no detail edge.
Kitchen Flooring — Hanover questions
- Is solid wood OK in a Hanover kitchen?
- We don't recommend it. Moisture cycling cups solid boards in 18–24 months — engineered or LVT is the right call for Hanover kitchens.
- What scratch rating should I look for in Hanover kitchen flooring?
- AC5 wear layer on LVT (or 0.55mm wear layer minimum). On engineered oak, a kitchen-grade UV-cured lacquer rather than a hardwax oil.
- Do you do parquet kitchens in Hanover (BN2)?
- Yes — herringbone and chevron over UFH-ready screeds. About one in five of our Brighton kitchen jobs are parquet.
- Can you fit wood flooring over underfloor heating in Hanover?
- Yes — engineered oak and parquet both work over UFH. We full-glue both for best heat transfer on Hanover kitchen jobs.
- How long does a Hanover kitchen floor install take?
- Typical Hanover (BN2) kitchen-diner of 30–45 m² is 2–3 days, including subfloor prep and a 72-hour acclimatisation start before fitting.
- Can you match existing wood flooring into a new Hanover kitchen extension?
- Yes — we stock the common board widths in oak and source same-batch for matches on Hanover jobs whenever the existing range is identifiable.
