Why Chatham chooses us for LVT
Chatham is the historic naval town at the heart of Medway; we work across Walderslade, Luton, Wayfield and out towards Rochester on a regular cycle. FM work means working around the building's life: out-of-hours installs, controlled access, full documentation. For facilities manager jobs in Chatham, our spec leans on what actually survives the use — across Davis Estate and the wider ME4 area, we've fitted hundreds of jobs that match this profile.

LVT in Chatham: the local reality
Chatham's property mix — Victorian terraces, ex-MOD housing, St Mary's Island new-builds and town-centre flats — sets the LVT brief before we even quote. In Walderslade we tend to lift onto bitumen-bedded chip; around Luton the subfloor is more often screed with the occasional access hatch to plan around. The historic naval town at the heart of Medway, which is why LVT spec here is rarely one-size-fits-all.
Chatham's Riverside Estate and Chatham Maritime generate a lot of our commercial lvt work; the residential side is heavier around Walderslade and Luton. Because both are on our weekly route, an specified for your sector conversation in Chatham rarely needs a second van visit.
For facilities managers customers in Chatham, the LVT spec is written around use pattern, not headline price. Void turnaround in Walderslade, wear patterns near Riverside Estate, and matching to existing runs are the practical constraints we design for.
Chatham's subfloor mix — Victorian terraces and ex-MOD housing on the older streets, screed on the newer ones — means our lvt spec adapts room by room. We survey with a moisture meter, note edge conditions in Walderslade, and photograph anything unusual so nobody's surprised on fit day.
Booking a lvt fit in Chatham is usually a two-window conversation — a survey slot that suits the property, and a fit slot that respects the street. In Walderslade we tend to hold morning fits; in Luton afternoons run cleaner because of school-run traffic.
We treat Chatham as a whole, not a postcode band — Walderslade, Luton, Wayfield and the villages towards Maidstone all get the same survey standard, the same fitters, and the same aftercare number to call.

Do you offer herringbone LVT in Chatham?
Herringbone and chevron LVT is one of our most-requested formats in Chatham — we fit Karndean, Amtico and Moduleo herringbone with proper border detailing.
How long does an LVT installation take in Chatham?
A typical 20m² room around Chatham or Davis Estate takes one day for prep and one day for the fit. Larger projects are sequenced room by room so you can keep using the property.
Can you fit LVT over my existing floor in Chatham?
In most Chatham homes we lift the old covering, level the subfloor with latex and bond the LVT directly to the prepared surface — this gives the cleanest finish and the longest warranty.
Is LVT suitable over underfloor heating?
Yes — every brand we stock is UFH compatible up to 27°C surface temperature. We commission the heating, take readings before fitting, and ramp it back up gradually after the glue has cured. We do this regularly on new builds across Chatham.
