Utility Room Flooring in London

Rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, in the plank or the click-tile format, or a matt porcelain tile. Both cope with a leak and a wet mop; the vinyl floats over an old slab, the tile needs it levelled. The base has to be dry under either.

A floating floor carries an appliance; what it should not do is be pinned by it at one point and expected to move elsewhere. A tray under the machine and the expansion gap kept at the walls are the two details.

Laminate is kept out of the rooms that get wet in this range, and a utility is one of them. The rigid vinyl gives the same look with the waterproof listing.

It depends whether the period house is still one household. In a conversion the floor you lay is the ceiling of the flat below, so what the lease demands underfoot settles the build-up before any board is looked at. In an undivided house that constraint lifts entirely and the subfloor decides instead.

Yes. We deliver across London and Greater London from our UK warehouse. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your London address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
