Anti-slip stair nosings in Erith
A public stair fall claim in Erith typically hangs on two things: PTV reading and visual contrast at the nosing. Both are fixed by the right nosing profile. We supply and fit aluminium carriers with anti-slip inserts (PVC, rubber or photoluminescent) that pass a pendulum test and meet the 30-point luminance contrast rule.

Riverside flats sometimes flag damp — we use a meter before guaranteeing any glue-down vinyl.
Three things that decide a vinyl fit in Erith
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Erith kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian and post-war 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.
- PTV ≥ 36 verified — meets HSE / BS 8300 slip resistance
- Aluminium carrier with contrasting insert for visual impairment compliance
- Photoluminescent inserts available for stairwells without emergency lighting
- Fitted out-of-hours to shops, schools and offices across the borough

Yes — they charge from normal room light and glow for 60–90 minutes after lights out. Sensible on stairwells in older Erith buildings without emergency lighting on the escape route.
We fit out-of-hours — typically 6pm to midnight for offices around Northumberland Heath, 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.
