Rental-Spec Flooring for Collier Row (RM5) Properties
The Collier Row rental market — heavy on 1930s semi stock around the A12 / A127 corridor — runs hot enough that void-period flooring needs to be measured, ordered and fitted inside a calendar week. We hold rental-grade LVT and engineered ranges in stock for exactly this reason.
What survives a 3–5 year BTL cycle in Collier Row
We avoid laminate on rental jobs — joint swelling on spills costs more than the LVT it replaced. On Collier Row (RM5) BTL kitchens we now spec waterproof rigid-core almost exclusively.
Stairs and hallways take the worst hit in a rental. We do stair cladding on a per-tread basis (£55–£75/tread fitted) so a single damaged tread gets replaced, not the whole flight.
Our void-period workflow in Collier Row
For multi-property landlords in Collier Row, we offer a rolling 6-month booking — fixed rates on the spec sheet, priority slots when voids come up. Saves quoting from scratch every turnover.
Most Collier Row void-period jobs run Day 1 survey, Day 2 quote, Day 3 deposit & order, Day 4–7 fit. We hold the three commonest rental-spec ranges in stock so material isn't a lead-time problem on RM5 jobs.

Per-room landlord pricing in Collier Row (RM5)
Typical Collier Row (RM5) one-bed flat refit (LVT throughout, ~45 m²): £2,400–£3,200 supplied and fitted. Two-bed mid-terrace (LVT downstairs, engineered up, ~80 m²): £4,800–£6,800. Stair flight cladding: £350–£650.
Landlord rates run 8–12% below retail because we order stocked material in volume and don't need to send sample packs. The trade-off is no special-order ranges on BTL work.
