Buy LVT from the fitter who'll install it in Sittingbourne

Sittingbourne's property mix — Modern estates at Quinton and Iwade, Victorian terraces, warehousing units and warehousing units — sets the LVT brief before we even quote. In Milton Regis we tend to lift onto bitumen-bedded chip; around Kemsley the subfloor is more often screed with the occasional access hatch to plan around. A growing town with major new-build developments and big employers, which is why LVT spec here is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Sittingbourne's Kent Science Park and Sittingbourne Retail Park generate a lot of our commercial lvt work; the residential side is heavier around Milton Regis and Kemsley. Because both are on our weekly route, an supplied and fitted under one roof conversation in Sittingbourne rarely needs a second van visit.

Because we hold lvt stock at our warehouse and dispatch to Sittingbourne on our own vehicles, a supply-and-fit brief for a property in Milton Regis can go from sample-drop on Monday to fit on Friday.

Sub-floor stories vary block-by-block in Sittingbourne. Around Milton Regis the older modern estates at quinton and iwade tend to sit on suspended timber with bitumen felt underneath, so lifting existing lvt usually means scraping and re-boarding a section before the new lay. Newer plots off A2 are more forgiving — a moisture reading, a screed skim, and we're on with the lvt.

Timing-wise, Sittingbourne works best for us if the survey lands early morning — traffic through Kent Science Park and along A2 tightens by mid-morning. Delivery for larger lvt runs into Milton Regis tends to work on the earlier slot, whereas smaller lifts around Kemsley are fine any time.

We treat Sittingbourne as a whole, not a postcode band — Milton Regis, Kemsley, Iwade and the villages towards Sheerness all get the same survey standard, the same fitters, and the same aftercare number to call.
