Canterbury's local safety flooring specialist. Samples to your door, latex screeding included, Hales Place and Blean and surrounding CT1 addresses covered.
Why Canterbury chooses us for safety flooring
Safety Flooring sounds simple until you start lifting old coverings in a Canterbury property and find the kind of subfloor that needs real prep. That's where a lot of cheap quotes fall apart. We've fitted safety flooring all over Canterbury, from Listed period homes to commercial spaces near Canterbury Retail Park, and we cost prep in honestly from the start.
We focus on doing the boring bits properly — subfloor prep, accurate measuring, scribed cuts and clean handover — so the safety flooring you can see is the part that lasts.

Safety flooring questions from Canterbury customers
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.
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.
Do you provide test certificates for Canterbury compliance audits?
Yes — we supply manufacturer slip-test certificates and our own installation sign-off for every Canterbury safety-flooring project.
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.
Can you fit safety flooring in a Canterbury care home without closing it?
Yes — most of our Canterbury care home installs are phased room-by-room, with welding done off-peak so residents and staff can carry on as normal.
