Plumstead vinyl — the details that matter
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Plumstead kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian and edwardian 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.
