What we check first on a Eltham vinyl job
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Eltham kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older edwardian 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.
- R11 slip-rated safety vinyl
- 100mm coving up the wall with capping seal
- Hot-welded seams, no dirt trap
- Suitable for wet rooms, disabled bathrooms and shower areas

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 Eltham Park visit.
Sometimes — depends on tile flatness and drainage. We assess on the visit; a self-levelling screed sometimes needed on older SE9 bathrooms.
A welded safety vinyl fit lasts 15+ years in a domestic wet room. Silicone corner beads fail; welded seams don't.
