Vinyl flooring in Rochester
Rochester kitchens are rarely rectangles. Chimney breasts, old pantry recesses and back doors in the corner all change what a sheet of vinyl has to do, and it is worth an extra five minutes with a tape before you choose a width.
Once the measurement is right, the rest is quick. We cut to size at Gillingham and you are away the same day.
Measuring an older Rochester kitchen
Vinyl is unforgiving about being a few centimetres short, so measure for the piece rather than the floor area.
Include every recess
Old pantry and meter cupboards count as floor, and they are usually what forces the wider roll.
Measure to the outside of the door frame
The vinyl wants to run under the frame line, not stop short at it.
Check the floor is flat first
Period kitchens often have layers of old covering. Whatever is underneath will show through.

Vinyl in Rochester, questions we get asked
- How do I measure a Rochester kitchen for vinyl?
- Measure the widest and longest points including any recess, and measure to the outside of the door frame. Bring those numbers and the team will tell you which width covers it in one piece.
- Can vinyl go over old kitchen tiles?
- Not directly. The floor needs to be flat and clean first, otherwise the grout lines show through the vinyl.
