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.
"Coved safety vinyl in the prep zone, LVT in the dining room, done overnight." — SE2 café owner
- R10/R11-rated safety flooring for kitchens
- Welded seams and coved skirting for HACCP compliance
- Front-of-house LVT that survives spills and chair scrapes
- Overnight fits so the restaurant opens as normal
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.
