Tenure barely moves as you cross this county.

Owning, renting privately and renting from a social landlord sit close together in every town, which is unusual over so much ground. The buildings refuse to follow suit: industrial towns on the estuary, a cathedral city, a Wealden spa town, and garden-city estates still going up.

Estuary terraces from the industrial years carry timber joists with a cavity beneath, and they are seldom flat; levelling is the job that gets underestimated, and it decides how the finished floor reads. Outlying and village property steps and slopes as a matter of course. The estates going up on the edges arrive as flat screed instead.

Questions

Flooring in Kent: FAQs

Do you deliver flooring across Kent?

Yes. We cover TN, CT, DA and ME, taking in the estuary districts at Dartford and Gravesham, Maidstone with its rural wards, Ashford, Canterbury out to Blean and Sturry, and Tunbridge Wells down to Southborough. The villages between them are on the list too.

Which flooring is most popular in Kent?

Engineered wood through the living rooms and hall, once the base has been brought level, and that order of work is not optional. Where the kitchen and utility meet the rest of the house, a water-resistant plank is the sensible neighbour: resistant on the board, not proof against what runs through the joints.

Can I order flooring samples in Kent?

Yes, anywhere in the county. Put a sample down on the existing floor and watch whether it rocks. In the older cottages and the village streets a floor that steps or falls away is normal rather than a defect, and it changes the trim as much as the board.

How many samples can I order?

Up to 10 samples per order, and up to 2 of any one product, at £1.99 each, posted to any address in Kent.
