What we check first on a Catford vinyl job
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Catford 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.
- 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
In short — school and nursery flooring in Catford from £28/m² fitted, planned around the academic year.
