Floors & Fix installs LVT throughout Richmond's TW9 and TW10 postcodes. LVT is a popular choice in Richmond's Victorian and Edwardian homes for kitchens and open-plan areas — premium wide-board formats suit the proportions of these properties and the waterproof construction handles kitchen and utility environments with ease.
Richmond has one of the most premium housing stocks in south-west London — Victorian and Edwardian semis and terraces in TW9 and Kew, large Edwardian detached homes on Richmond Hill and Petersham Road, 1930s suburban semis in East Sheen and North Sheen, and modern riverside apartment developments with underfloor heating. Low moisture risk and high budgets make Richmond a strong market for engineered wood and premium LVT.
58% of Richmond's housing stock predates 1960, with a significant concentration of Victorian and Edwardian suspended-timber ground floors in TW9 and TW10 that represent ideal conditions for premium floor installation. — ONS Census 2021, housing stock age, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
Richmond's Victorian and Edwardian properties in TW9 and TW10 have suspended timber ground floors in excellent condition. We apply 6mm structural ply before LVT — essential for click-lock stability on these floors. Glue-down LVT is an alternative where the floor has any residual flex. The large Edwardian detached homes on Richmond Hill suit wide-format LVT in a premium wood or stone-effect that is proportionate with the scale of the rooms. East Sheen and North Sheen 1930s semis with mixed dry ground floors are straightforward LVT candidates. Richmond Riverside new builds with wet UFH take glue-down LVT within the thermal resistance specification.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis in TW9 and around Kew Green have suspended timber ground floors in generally excellent condition — low moisture risk and good-quality original construction. These are ideal settings for premium engineered oak and high-quality LVT that suits the character of the area.
LVT click-lock planks bridge across joists without support, causing joints to stress and separate over time on a deflecting suspended timber floor. Before any LVT is laid we install 6mm structural ply, screwed at 200mm centres, to create a rigid, flat deck. On floors where deflection is marginal we use glue-down LVT as an alternative — it distributes load across the adhesive bed rather than relying on the click joint. Ply supply and fixing is included in your fixed price.
Large Edwardian detached and semi-detached homes on Richmond Hill, Petersham Road and the premium TW10 streets have suspended timber ground floors with generous room proportions. The scale of these spaces demands wider-board floor products — 180–220mm engineered oak or large-format LVT — to look proportionate.

Modern riverside apartments along Richmond Riverside and newer TW9 developments have liquid-screed floors with wet underfloor heating. These require UFH-rated product selection and glue-down or approved click-lock installation confirmed against the system specification.
On underfloor heating screed we always specify glue-down LVT rather than click-lock — continuous heat cycling can cause click joints to stress in some products, whereas a full glue-down bond remains stable across the temperature range. Total thermal resistance of the LVT and any underlay must be ≤0.15 m²K/W to protect heating efficiency. UFH compatibility is confirmed in writing on every quote.
1930s semis and detached homes in East Sheen (SW14) and North Sheen (TW9) have mixed ground floors — some suspended timber, some solid concrete — with generally low moisture readings. The market in this area leans towards premium finishes for renovation and resale.
Where a property has both concrete and timber subfloors — common in converted flats — installation method and preparation vary room by room. Concrete rooms typically receive glue-down LVT; timber rooms receive ply-raft followed by glue-down or click-lock as appropriate. Each room is assessed individually at the home visit and priced separately within your single fixed-price quote.
A wide-board format — 220mm or wider — or a large-format stone-effect tile is proportionate in the generous rooms of Edwardian homes on Richmond Hill and Petersham Road. Premium LVT products in these formats look genuinely impressive in large spaces.
Yes — fully waterproof, ideal for kitchens. We ply-raft the timber ground floor first, then install LVT. The same product can run from the hallway through the kitchen for a continuous, high-quality finish.
Glue-down LVT with a thermal resistance of ≤0.15 m²K/W. UFH compatibility is confirmed in writing on the quote and the product data sheet is provided for the building's records.
Yes — the suspended timber ground floor needs 6mm structural ply to create a rigid base before any LVT. Without it click-lock planks separate at the joints as the floor flexes. Ply preparation is included in the fixed price.
A full ground floor including sub-floor preparation typically takes one day. Glue-down LVT requires an overnight cure before full foot traffic.
We come to you with samples, measure up and give you a fixed price on the day. No obligation, no deposit. See our lvt flooring service or all flooring options in Richmond.
