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

What we check first on a Bexley vinyl job
- Bexley subfloor reality
Victorian cottages often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Subfloor
On older victorian cottages we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- 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
Bottom line: a compliant kitchen floor is coved and welded — anything less fails inspection.
