- Orpington subfloor reality
Petts Wood detached homes often have decorative parquet — sometimes worth restoring instead.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s semis 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.
