Before we quote a vinyl job in Crayford
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Crayford kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s semis 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.
