Arsenal conversions have thick concrete slabs — dead-flat and ideal for glue-down LVT.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.

“Jordan put in carpets for our 2 bedrooms, landing and stairs in our new loft conversion and in 2 existing bedrooms. The quality of the carpets is excellent and the price for the work very reasonable. He gets on with the job, very professional, work of the highest standard. Top class.” — Gary Simmons, verified Google review
