Kitchen flooring in Wembley
Homeowners and landlords in Wembley can book us for kitchen flooring: LVT, vinyl, tiled and engineered wood kitchen floors laid on a level, dry base, before or after the units.
Why do people in Wembley choose kitchen flooring?
If your Wembley kitchen has curling vinyl, cracked tiles or boards that have swollen near the sink, a new floor can be laid without changing the units.
Families across Greater London often choose LVT for a kitchen because it is warmer and quieter underfoot than tiles and copes well with spills and dropped cups. Kitchens in every part of Wembley are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Greater London.
What we cover for kitchen flooring in Wembley
Your written quote lists everything included. For kitchen flooring, that normally means:
- Old coverings lifted and removed, with pre-2000 floor tiles checked for asbestos first
- LVT, sheet vinyl, porcelain or ceramic tiles, or engineered wood laid to suit the room
- Threshold trims at doorways, with skirting, plinths and kickboards refitted
- Levelling compound or a plywood overlay to give a flat, firm base
- Free survey visit to check the subfloor, measure up and give an itemised quote
- Flooring run under appliance spaces so machines can be pulled out for servicing
How much does kitchen flooring cost in Wembley?
As a starting point for Wembley, these ranges include VAT at 20% and allow for typical labour costs in London. Prices in London usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Wembley homes
Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.
Do you need approval for kitchen flooring in Wembley?
A new kitchen floor in England needs no planning permission or building regulations approval. In a flat, check the lease first: leases often require a sound-reducing underlay, or forbid hard floors without the freeholder's consent. If electric underfloor heating goes under the new floor on a new circuit, that circuit is notifiable under Part P. In a listed building, removing historic floors may need listed building consent.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Planning ahead
- If your Greater London home has a newly screeded floor, for example in an extension your builder has finished, ask for a moisture test before the flooring is booked.
- Choose trims for each doorway at the survey, so the colour and height suit the floor in the next room of your Wembley home as well as the kitchen.
- Keep a few spare boards or tiles from your Wembley kitchen floor in the loft or garage, so a damaged piece can be swapped for an exact match later.
- With underfloor heating, choose a floor finish, adhesive and underlay rated for it, and follow the makers' guidance on bringing the heating up to temperature.
Questions about kitchen flooring in Wembley
How much does kitchen flooring cost in Wembley?
Guide prices in Wembley are about £650 to £2,000 including VAT for an LVT or vinyl kitchen floor. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Which parts of Wembley do you work in?
All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Wembley, including the HA0 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Brent. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
Is engineered wood a good choice for a kitchen floor?
It can be, but it needs more care than LVT or tiles. Engineered wood can swell or stain if water sits on it, so it is less suited to the areas around a sink or dishwasher, where leaks are most likely. If you choose it, pick a board the maker approves for kitchens, wipe spills promptly and keep the finish maintained.
Should kitchen flooring go down before or after the units?
It depends on the floor. Tiles are often laid first, or at least run under the appliance spaces, so a dishwasher or fridge can be pulled out without catching on the edge. Floating floors such as click LVT or engineered boards usually go down after the units, up to the plinth line, so they are not trapped under heavy fixed cabinets. We follow the flooring maker's instructions.
Can I have a hard floor in my flat's kitchen?
Usually, but check your lease first. Leases often require a sound-reducing underlay under hard floors, or say that tiles, wood or LVT can only be laid with the freeholder's written consent, to protect neighbours below from impact noise. In Scotland, check your title deeds and any deed of conditions. If the wording is unclear, ask your managing agent before you order flooring.
