Coved safety flooring for Abbey Wood kitchens
A busy Southmere café we did last year runs 400 covers a day across a 60m² footprint. R10 safety vinyl in the back, wood-effect LVT in the front. Two years in, both zones look installed yesterday.
What restaurant & café flooring in Abbey Wood actually involves
A busy Southmere café we did last year runs 400 covers a day across a 60m² footprint. R10 safety vinyl in the back, wood-effect LVT in the front. Two years in, both zones look installed yesterday.
New-build screed slabs are LVT-ready straight from the developer; council-era boards need ply.
“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
- R10/R11-rated safety flooring for kitchens

Abbey Wood vinyl — the details that matter
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Abbey Wood kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older post-2018 new-build apartments 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.
In short — restaurant flooring in Abbey Wood from £32/m² fitted, kitchen and FOH in one overnight visit.
