Pound Hill New Build & Apartment Flooring
Developer-spec floors in Pound Hill (RH10) typically last 3–5 years before they need replacing. We replace them with materials and installs rated for 20+ years — engineered oak, rigid LVT or full-glue parquet, fitted to manufacturer warranty over the new-build's UFH.
Why most Pound Hill new-builds need a flooring upgrade by year 3
Developer-spec laminate in Pound Hill 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).
Most Pound Hill (RH10) new-build floors we lift come up easily — click floating installs over thin foam underlay. Disposal is straightforward, the screed underneath is usually sound, and the new floor goes down in days.
Protecting your new build warranty in Pound Hill
Most Pound Hill new-build screeds need 8–12 weeks to dry to under 1.8% moisture before a proper engineered oak install. If you've moved in early, we'll survey, document, and schedule the fit for when the screed is ready.
On Pound Hill (RH10) developments still under build warranty, we work to the NHBC Standards Chapter 8.2 for floor finishes — keeps the install warranty-compliant.

Fitting floors over fresh Pound Hill UFH systems
We document the UFH commissioning report alongside the moisture reading — both go in your warranty pack for the Pound Hill install.
Almost every new build in Pound Hill now has wet UFH downstairs. The screed needs 4–6 weeks to dry, then 14 days of UFH commissioning before our fitters touch a board. We schedule around that — most owners don't realise their UFH needs cycling before the floor goes down.
