Barnehurst kitchen and FOH flooring — HACCP compliant
Coving in a prep kitchen is a non-negotiable for Barnehurst environmental health. We hot-weld the seams and cove 100mm up the wall so there's no dirt trap. Passes first inspection every time.

Before we quote a vinyl job in Barnehurst
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Barnehurst 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.
Bottom line: a compliant kitchen floor is coved and welded — anything less fails inspection.
