Welling commercial stair nosings — PTV compliant fitting
A public stair fall claim in Welling 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.

Before we quote a vinyl job in Welling
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Welling kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s semis 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.
