What we check first on a Gravesend vinyl job
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Gravesend kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian 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.
“Lovely carpet fitted by Jordan, really good service, definitely will be using again.” — Louise Bowyer, verified Google review
Bottom line: schools re-floor in the holidays. Book the survey a term ahead.
