Before we quote a vinyl job in Dartford
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Dartford kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian terraces we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.

- Aluminium carrier with contrasting insert for visual impairment compliance

Anti-Slip Stair Nosings in Dartford — common questions
Yes — the aluminium carrier screws through the safety vinyl into the tread substrate, and the insert then seals the edge. Common upgrade on 10-year-old victorian terraces installations.
Yes — they charge from normal room light and glow for 60–90 minutes after lights out. Sensible on stairwells in older Dartford buildings without emergency lighting on the escape route.
We fit out-of-hours — typically 6pm to midnight for offices around The Bridge, or weekends for schools and shops. The adhesive is walk-on within 4 hours; screws lock the profile immediately.
Yes — BS 8300 requires a minimum 30-point luminance contrast between the nosing insert and the tread. On dark treads we fit a yellow or light-grey insert; on light treads, black or dark grey.
