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.
In short — flood damage flooring in Erith from £26/m² fitted, insurance-friendly and waterproof-replacement spec.
