What school & nursery flooring in Barnehurst actually involves
Schools have exactly six windows a year to re-floor. In Barnehurst we book half-term and summer holiday fits 6+ months ahead — carpet tiles in classrooms, safety vinyl in toilets and food-tech, contract sheet in corridors.
1930s pine floorboards throughout — always ply-overlaid before LVT or vinyl.
Before we quote a vinyl job in Barnehurst
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Barnehurst kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s bay-fronted 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 vinyl with R10 slip rating in wet zones
- Contract carpet tiles in classrooms — soft but hard-wearing
- Fitted during half-term and summer holidays
- Compliant with DfE flooring specifications
