Commercial shop flooring is hard-wearing floor covering laid for heavy foot traffic: sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, porcelain, resin and entrance matting.
How is the work priced?
Before we price commercial shop flooring in Chatham, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Chatham we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and high street units and corner shops.
What is included?
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
- Porcelain and ceramic tiling
- Resin and polished concrete
- Recessed entrance matting
- Anti-slip finishes for wet areas
What should Chatham owners check first?
- Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.
- A poor subfloor shows through thin vinyl; levelling is worth paying for.
- Entrance areas should have matting to stop rain being walked into the shop.
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
