Flooring Supply & Installation in Blackheath | Expert Fitting Services

Premium flooring solutions for every room and budget, supplied and professionally installed.

Your flooring impacts every single day in your Blackheath home. The right flooring transforms rooms, withstands family life, and adds genuine property value. The wrong flooring becomes a constant frustration – scratches appearing within months, tiles cracking, or laminate swelling from moisture.

At EWI Design, we’ve installed thousands of square meters of flooring across Blackheath over the past decade. From Victorian terraces on Lee Terrace to modern Kidbrooke apartments, we supply and install premium flooring that looks stunning and performs flawlessly for decades.

Stop settling for cheap flooring that disappoints. Call 01322 933 677 for expert advice and free quotations.

Why Professional Flooring Installation Matters

Installation quality determines flooring lifespan: Even premium flooring fails quickly if installed incorrectly. Uneven subfloors cause tiles to crack. Inadequate expansion gaps cause a laminate buckle. Poor adhesive selection leads to loose vinyl. We prepare subfloors properly, use correct installation methods, and guarantee our workmanship for 12 months.

We match flooring to your property and lifestyle: Not all flooring suits all situations. Engineered wood works brilliantly in Blackheath’s period properties, where solid wood might expand and contract problematically. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) performs exceptionally in high-moisture bathrooms and kitchens where natural materials struggle. We recommend what actually works for your specific circumstances—not what’s most profitable for us.

Trade pricing saves you 20-35%: Through established supplier partnerships, we access genuine trade pricing unavailable to retail customers. That £45-per-meter engineered oak you saw online? We typically supply and install for £38-42 per meter, including fitting. Premium porcelain tiles retailing at £60 per meter? Our trade pricing brings them to £42-48 per meter installed.

Single point of accountability: We supply the flooring AND install it. If any issues arise—ever—you have one company to contact, not a supplier blaming the installer or vice versa. We stand behind everything completely.

Our Blackheath Flooring Options: Finding Your Perfect Match

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) & Vinyl Flooring

The most versatile, practical flooring solution for modern Blackheath homes.

LVT technology has transformed dramatically in recent years. Today’s premium LVT is virtually indistinguishable from real wood or stone, costs significantly less, and outperforms natural materials in durability and maintenance.

Why Blackheath homeowners love LVT:

• 100% waterproof – Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, hallways
• Incredibly durable – Scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, handles heavy furniture and traffic
• Realistic wood/stone appearance – Advanced printing technology creates authentic textures and grain patterns
• Underfloor heating is compatible – Conducts heat efficiently (better than wood)
• Easy maintenance – Sweep and mop; no sealing, polishing, or special treatments
• Comfortable underfoot – Warmer and softer than tile or stone
• Pet and child-friendly – Resists scratches from dogs; easy to clean after spills

Best applications:

• Kitchens (handles splashes, dropped items, heavy foot traffic)
• Bathrooms and en-suites (completely waterproof)
• Hallways and high-traffic areas (withstands daily wear)
• Ground floors in period properties (handles potential moisture better than wood)
• Open-plan living areas (create seamless flow throughout)

Investment: £35-£65 per m² supplied and installed (including subfloor preparation, underlayment, and finishing)

Engineered Wood Flooring

The elegant, practical alternative to solid wood—perfect for Blackheath’s period properties.

Engineered wood offers authentic wood aesthetics with enhanced stability and performance. A thin layer of real wood sits atop a multi-layered plywood core, creating flooring that resists expansion and contraction far better than solid wood while looking identical once installed.

Advantages for SE3 properties:

• Authentic real wood surface – Oak, walnut, chevron, herringbone patterns
• Dimensionally stable – Won’t warp, cup, or gap like solid wood in Blackheath’s variable humidity
• Underfloor heating compatible – Stable enough for use with UFH systems
• Can be refinished – Quality engineered wood (4mm+ wear layer) can be sanded and refinished like solid wood
• Faster installation – Click-lock systems install quickly over existing floors
• Adds property value – Genuine wood always appeals to Blackheath buyers

Finish options:

• Lacquered – Durable protective coating; easy to maintain
• Oiled – Natural appearance; can repair localised damage easily
• Brushed – Textured surface hides minor scratches and wear
• Smooth – Contemporary, sleek appearance

Best applications:

• Living rooms and reception rooms in Victorian/Edwardian properties
• Bedrooms (warm, comfortable underfoot)
• Dining rooms (elegant, appropriate for period character)
• First floors (where moisture is less of a concern than ground floors)

Investment: £45-£85 per m² supplied and installed (varies by wood species, finish, and pattern)

Porcelain & Ceramic Tiles

The ultimate in durability, hygiene, and design versatility.

Tile flooring offers unmatched longevity and style options – from contemporary concrete effects to traditional Victorian encaustic patterns.

Why tiles work brilliantly in Blackheath homes:

• Virtually indestructible – Properly installed tiles last 30-50+ years
• Hygienic and easy to clean – Non-porous; resists bacteria, mould, allergens
• Extensive design options – Unlimited colours, patterns, sizes, textures
• Underfloor heating is ideal – Excellent heat conductor; stays warm long after UFH cycles off
• Adds significant property value – Premium tiles elevate perceived quality
• Waterproof and stain-proof – Nothing penetrates properly sealed tile

Popular tile styles in Blackheath:

Large format porcelain (600x600mm, 600x1200mm) – Contemporary, minimal grout lines, creates a spacious feel. Perfect for modern kitchens, bathrooms, and open-plan spaces.

Wood-effect porcelain – Realistic wood appearance with tile durability. Ideal for kitchens wanting wood aesthetics with waterproof performance.

Victorian encaustic patterns – Geometric patterns authentic to period properties. Perfect for hallways, porches, and bathrooms in Victorian/Edwardian homes.

Natural stone effects – Marble, travertine, slate appearances without natural stone maintenance requirements.

Metro/subway tiles – Classic, timeless. Works in traditional and contemporary settings.

Best applications:

• Kitchens (durability, easy cleaning, water resistance)
• Bathrooms and wet rooms (completely waterproof)
• Hallways and entrance areas (withstands outdoor dirt, moisture)
• Conservatories and garden rooms (handle temperature fluctuation)
• Underfloor heating systems (optimal heat transfer)

Investment: £50-£120 per m² supplied and installed (includes subfloor preparation, tile, adhesive, grout, sealing)

Carpet & Carpet Tiles

Warmth, comfort, and sound insulation for bedrooms and living spaces.

Despite hard flooring trends, quality carpet remains unbeatable for comfort, warmth, and acoustic properties in bedrooms and cosy living spaces.

Modern carpet advantages:

• Incredibly soft and comfortable – Nothing matches carpet for barefoot comfort
• Excellent sound insulation – Reduces noise transmission between floors (crucial for apartments and terraces)
• Warm underfoot – Naturally insulating; ideal for bedrooms
• Wide style range – Plains, textures, patterns, natural fibres
• Stain-resistant technologies – Modern treatments repel spills effectively
• Cost-effective – Quality carpet offers excellent value per square meter

Best applications:

• Bedrooms (comfort, warmth)
• Stairs and landings (safety, sound insulation)
• Upstairs living areas (reduces noise to rooms below)
• Home offices (comfortable for long periods of standing)

Investment: £25-£65 per m² supplied and installed (including underlay and gripper rods)

Laminate Flooring

Budget-friendly wood appearance for low-moisture areas.

Modern laminate offers convincing wood visuals at entry-level pricing. While less durable than LVT and not waterproof, quality laminate performs well in appropriate locations.

Best for:

• Bedrooms on tight budgets
• Upstairs living areas with low moisture risk
• Home offices and studies
• Temporary solutions (rental properties, short-term renovations)

Investment: £25-£45 per m² supplied and installed

What we evaluate:

• Current floor condition and subfloor type (concrete, timber, tiles)

Step 3: Subfloor Preparation (Crucial Stage)

This is where many DIY and cheap installers fail – and where we excel.

Proper subfloor preparation prevents 90% of flooring problems. We assess and prepare every subfloor correctly:

For concrete subfloors:

• Moisture testing (wood flooring requires dry subfloors)
• Self-levelling compound to eliminate dips and humps
• The primer application ensures that adhesive bonds properly
• DPM (damp-proof membrane) installation if moisture is detected

For timber subfloors:

• Structural assessment ensuring adequate support
• Board replacement if damaged or rotten
• Levelling with plywood overlay if uneven
• Moisture barrier installation where appropriate

Step 4: Professional Installation

Our experienced flooring fitters install according to manufacturer specifications and industry best practices.

What you can expect:

• Floor protection throughout your home
• Precise cutting and fitting around obstacles (pipes, doorframes, alcoves)
• Correct expansion gaps for all materials requiring them
• Professional transitions between rooms and flooring types
• Door trimming is necessary for floor height changes
• Thorough cleanup at the end of each day

Typical timelines:

• Single room (bedroom, bathroom): 1 day
• Kitchen or large living room: 1-2 days
• Whole ground floor: 3-5 days
• Complete house flooring: 5-10 days

Step 5: Finishing & Aftercare

Final inspection together – We walk through the installation, address any concerns immediately

Care instructions – Specific guidance for your flooring type

12-month workmanship guarantee – If any installation issues arise, we will return to rectify them

Manufacturer warranties – Full product warranties (typically 10-25 years, depending on flooring type)

Hundreds of Satisfied Blackheath Clients

What Our Blackheath Clients Say

“We needed new flooring throughout our Victorian terrace on Tranquil Vale after a renovation. EWI Design recommended engineered oak for the ground floor reception rooms, luxury vinyl tile for the kitchen and hallways, and quality carpet for the bedrooms – exactly the right choices. Their team prepared subfloors meticulously (our floors were terribly uneven), installed everything to perfection, and cleaned up thoroughly each day. We’ve recommended EWI Design to four neighbours already, all equally delighted with their flooring transformations.”
