Swanley lvt — the details that matter
- Swanley subfloor reality
60s/70s housing often has solid concrete slabs — quick LVT installs once screeded.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Swanley hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- AC5-rated LVT that survives daily trolleys and heels
- Overnight and Sunday fits so you don't lose trading days
- Coloured door bars and threshold strips to match brand
- Full disposal of old flooring in the same visit
Bottom line: a retail floor needs a fitter who works around trading. We do.

Yes — Sunday fits are standard for retail here. Most independent shops close 5pm Saturday and open 10am Monday, giving us a clean 36-hour window.
AC5-rated LVT is tested for exactly that — commercial retail with heels. Cheaper AC3 LVT will pit within a season on a Swanley boutique.
We hold sample decks from Karndean, Amtico, Moduleo and Polyflor — over 200 finishes across the four. Something will match your BR8 shop palette.
No — we work around trading. Old floor out overnight, prep, adhesive, LVT laid, edges trimmed, ready for the 9am open.
