What we check first on a Bickley vinyl job
- Bickley subfloor reality
Suspended timber over deep voids — extra noggins added before glue-down LVT.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Subfloor
On older large victorian and edwardian detached we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- Heavy-duty rubber tile and roll for weight zones
- Sprung sports vinyl for studios
- Shock-absorbing underlay so upstairs neighbours don't complain
- Zoned by discipline — weights, cardio, studio, changing
