Kitchen renovations in Chislehurst: Flooring choices
When renovating your kitchen in Chislehurst (BR7) – whether in a period property near Chislehurst Commons, a townhouse in Elmstead Woods, or a modern home near Bickley – one of the big decisions is flooring.
Tiles have been the traditional choice, but we often recommend click vinyl for kitchens. Here’s why.
✅ Why Choose Click Vinyl over Tiles in kitchens?
1. Warmth & Comfort
Unlike tiles, which can feel cold and hard underfoot, click vinyl is softer and warmer, ideal for family kitchens in Chislehurst Village.
2. Speed of Installation
Click vinyl can usually be laid in 1-2 days, compared to 3-5 days for tiling. That means less disruption and faster project completion.
3. Lower Cost
- Click vinyl flooring: £25-£40 per m² (supply & fit)
- Tiles: £40-£80 per m² (supply & fit)
For large kitchens, that’s a saving of hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds.
4. Style Flexibility
Modern vinyl ranges convincingly replicate wood, stone, or ceramic, offering a stylish finish without the price tag.
5. Easy Maintenance
Click vinyl is scratch-resistant, waterproof, and easier to clean than grout-lined tiles – perfect for busy areas.
❌ Why you might still choose tiles
- More durable in the very long term (20 – 30 years vs 10 -15 years for vinyl)
- Adds premium resale value to luxury homes in Chislehurst & Bickley
- Better for underfloor heating in certain setups
