Before we quote a vinyl job in Greenwich
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Greenwich kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older georgian and victorian period homes 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.
In short — commercial stair nosings across Greenwich from £16/lm fitted, PTV-36 compliant, with insurer-ready documentation.
