Ebbsfleet new-builds come LVT-ready; older terraces almost always need ply over the floorboards.
What we check first on a Gravesend vinyl job
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Gravesend kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian terraces 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.
- 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
In short — restaurant flooring in Gravesend from £32/m² fitted, kitchen and FOH in one overnight visit.
