Before we quote a vinyl job in Welling
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Welling kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s 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.
Bottom line: a wet room needs a full seal — cove up the wall, weld the seams, nothing else works long-term.

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 East Wickham 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.
