What gym & studio flooring in Gravesend actually involves
A Ebbsfleet PT studio above a victorian terraces needs acoustic underlay under the rubber or the neighbours are on the phone. We fit 18mm shock-absorbing base plus 15mm rubber tile so nothing carries through.
Ebbsfleet new-builds come LVT-ready; older terraces almost always need ply over the floorboards.
- 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
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.
“Jordan put in carpets for our 2 bedrooms, landing and stairs in our new loft conversion and in 2 existing bedrooms. The quality of the carpets is excellent and the price for the work very reasonable. He gets on with the job, very professional, work of the highest standard. Top class.” — Gary Simmons, verified Google review
Bottom line: the deadlift platform is a different floor to the studio. Spec each right.
