Why Canterbury chooses us for safety flooring
Working in Canterbury means working off the A28 corridor, with commercial activity around Canterbury Retail Park and family streets across Wincheap and Sturry. Canterbury is on our daily run — our warehouse sits a short hop off the A28, and safety flooring jobs in Hales Place and the wider CT1 area are part of most weeks. A near-me search shouldn't mean a fitter who lives two counties away; ours don't.

- Coving and hot-welding to full hygiene spec

Safety flooring questions from Canterbury customers
Are you the nearest Canterbury flooring team?
We're a Medway-based flooring warehouse covering Canterbury and the wider Kent area. Whether we're literally the closest depends on the postcode, but we're local enough that the same fitters work Canterbury every week.
What's the difference between safety vinyl and standard vinyl?
Safety vinyl has aggregates through the wear layer that maintain slip-resistance even when wet. Standard sheet vinyl can become slippery when wet — fine for a domestic kitchen, not for a commercial one.
What slip rating do we need?
For wet zones, HSE guidance is a pendulum test value of 36 or above when wet. We spec products that achieve this, and we can supply the manufacturer test data with the quote.
Do you cove the skirting?
In wet and clinical areas, yes — we take the safety flooring up the wall around 100mm and cap it off, which removes the wall/floor join where water and bacteria collect.
How long does a Canterbury commercial kitchen install take?
A standard Canterbury commercial kitchen is 2-3 days including prep, fit, welding and coving. We work around your service times.
