We are very proud to have facilitated the flooring throughout this new-build library and affordable housing development in West Wickham, London.

 

This three-year-long project, delivered in 2025, has already received industry recognition, having been shortlisted for ‘Best Retrofit Project’ at the Building London Planning Awards.

​

The architects and developers moved beyond a purely cost-driven specification approach, instead prioritising sustainable design, long-term durability, and overall value whilst still maintaining affordability.

​​

The transformation of the existing library has created a modern, multi-use facility featuring a striking new frontage and refreshed interiors. The upgraded building now includes bookable community and business lounge areas, expanded library spaces for adults and children, a new café, public facilities on each floor, and enhanced landscaping incorporating a dedicated children’s play area.

​

Alongside the library refurbishment, the development is also delivering 26 new homes as part of the Bromley Homes for Bromley People programme, helping address local housing needs.

​

This project successfully brings together community, culture, and high-quality homes, with flooring specifications carefully selected to complement its long-term focus on design, sustainability, and longevity.
