Restaurant and café flooring in Mottingham

What restaurant & café flooring in Mottingham actually involves
A Mottingham restaurant needs two floors — one that meets HACCP in the kitchen, one that looks right in the dining room. We fit R11 safety vinyl with welded seams and coved skirting back-of-house, then commercial LVT front-of-house, in the same overnight visit.
Cottage estates often have thin chipboard upstairs — checked for deflection before laying laminate or LVT.
"Kitchen and FOH refit in Fairmount — passed EHO first try." — Mottingham restaurateur
- 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
Three things that decide a vinyl fit in Mottingham
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Mottingham kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1920s cottage-estate 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.
