What we check first on a Bexleyheath vinyl job
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Bexleyheath kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older large 1930s and 1950s semis 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.

Safety Flooring for Wet Rooms in Bexleyheath — common questions
A welded safety vinyl fit lasts 15+ years in a domestic wet room. Silicone corner beads fail; welded seams don't.
Sometimes — depends on tile flatness and drainage. We assess on the visit; a self-levelling screed sometimes needed on older DA6/DA7 bathrooms.
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 Upton visit.
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.
