As some will know I had Kieran who is now 24 and fitting LVT amazing. It was hard in the early years but worth it in the end.<br />

We have 2 now. Art who is just over 2 years in and 19 and Josh who’s a year in and 17. Always a pain pushing them and telling them, again and again. But I defo feel it’s the best way.<br />
