Before we quote a vinyl job in Beckenham
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Beckenham kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older edwardian and 1930s semis we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.

For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.

- 100mm coving up the wall with capping seal

Yes — coving up the wall stops water reaching the wall/floor joint. Without it, silicone fails inside 2 years and you're looking at a re-fit. Standard spec on every wet room we do.
R11 — the extra grip matters when the floor is wet and soapy. R10 is fine for hallway zones outside the shower. We spec by zone on the Kelsey Park visit.
Sometimes — depends on tile flatness and drainage. We assess on the visit; a self-levelling screed sometimes needed on older BR3 bathrooms.
A welded safety vinyl fit lasts 15+ years in a domestic wet room. Silicone corner beads fail; welded seams don't.
