What we check first on a Gravesend vinyl job
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Gravesend kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian 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.

Standard cover is like-for-like. Upgrade to waterproof (SPC over laminate, say) is often the difference the homeowner pays. We quote both on the Gravesend visit for the claim.
