Before we quote a vinyl job in West Wickham
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical West Wickham kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s detached homes 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
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 Coney Hall visit.
Sometimes — depends on tile flatness and drainage. We assess on the visit; a self-levelling screed sometimes needed on older BR4 bathrooms.
A welded safety vinyl fit lasts 15+ years in a domestic wet room. Silicone corner beads fail; welded seams don't.
