Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)

LVT has overtaken laminate as the go-to hard floor for Hampshire kitchens, hallways, and open-plan living spaces. It looks remarkably like real wood or stone, but it is warmer underfoot, quieter, completely waterproof, and far more forgiving of dropped pans and pet claws.

The difference is in the prep

The single biggest difference between an LVT floor that still looks new in ten years and one that lifts after eighteen months is the subfloor. Every plank or tile reads the surface underneath, so we always level with self-smoothing latex compound, fit ply where the existing boards flex, and check for moisture before any adhesive goes down. It adds a day to most jobs and saves you ripping the floor up later.

Brands we fit most often

Karndean Designflooring — the original premium LVT, with Knight Tile and Van Gogh ranges hitting most domestic budgets and Art Select stepping up to the most realistic wood and stone reproductions on the market.

Amtico Spacia and Signature — British-made, slightly heavier, with a stronger commercial wear layer that makes them a good choice for cafes, salons, and busy family hallways.

Quick-Step LVT — click-fit alternative that lets us fit over most existing hard subfloors without the disruption of full adhesive prep. Right for landlords, lettings, and quick-turn refurbishments.

Herringbone, plank, or tile

Herringbone is having a moment and we fit a lot of it, especially in hallways and kitchens where the pattern draws the eye through the space. Wide planks suit larger open-plan rooms; tile formats with grout-line detail work well in utility rooms and bathrooms where you want a stone look without the cold.
