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

Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
"Coved safety vinyl in the prep zone, LVT in the dining room, done overnight." — SE28 café owner
- 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
Thamesmead vinyl — the details that matter
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Thamesmead kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1970s peabody estates 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.
