New Build Flooring in Kingston Central
A new build at 0 miles from Kingston centre is a different flooring job from a Victorian refurb: the screed is fresher, the UFH is new, the warranty paperwork matters more. Our new-build process is built around all three.
What the developer left vs what we replace it with in Kingston Central
If you're inside the developer's snagging window, we coordinate the removal with their NHBC inspector — keeps your warranty intact while you upgrade.
Developer-spec laminate in Kingston Central typically has a 0.2mm wear layer and an EPLF AC3 rating — fine for 18 months in a low-traffic flat, struggling within three years in a family home. We replace it with engineered oak (4mm wear layer, 20+ year rating) or rigid-core LVT (AC5, fully waterproof).
