What gym & studio flooring in New Eltham actually involves

Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
Three things that decide a vinyl fit in New Eltham
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical New Eltham kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s bay-fronted 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.
- 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
Bottom line: the deadlift platform is a different floor to the studio. Spec each right.
