Flood damage flooring in Chislehurst
A Chislehurst flood — burst pipe, dishwasher failure, upstairs bath overflow — ruins whatever's on the floor and often the subfloor beneath it. We uplift, dispose, moisture-test the substrate and only re-fit when the subfloor is genuinely dry.

Three things that decide a vinyl fit in Chislehurst
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Chislehurst kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian and edwardian detached 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.
