A new vinyl floor can change a room in a day. It’s tough, easy to keep clean and comes in hundreds of looks, from plain colours to convincing oak and stone. But how it’s fitted decides how it looks and how long it lasts.
At QFlooring, we supply and professionally fit vinyl flooring in Folkestone, Hythe and the surrounding Kent areas. Browse the range at our Sandgate Road showroom, and we’ll take care of the measuring, preparation and fitting.

Vinyl isn’t one product. The right choice depends on the room, the traffic and the look you want. Here’s what we fit.
Sheet vinyl comes on a roll and is cut to fit your room, usually in a single piece. That means very few joins, which is why it’s popular in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and hallways. It’s also one of the most cost-effective ways to get a clean, hard-wearing floor.
Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) come as planks or tiles with a thicker, more realistic finish. They suit living rooms, open-plan spaces and kitchens where you want something more premium.
Click LVT locks together and floats over the subfloor. Dryback LVT is glued down and usually needs a flatter, better-prepared base.
As experienced luxury vinyl flooring fitters, we’ll tell you which method suits your room and your subfloor.
Modern vinyl can look remarkably like the real thing. Wood-effect designs give you the warmth of oak or a lighter Scandi look without the upkeep of timber.
Tile and stone effects give you the feel of ceramic without cold, hard surfaces underfoot. Both are available in sheet and luxury formats.
We keep the process simple, so you always know what’s happening next.
Visit the showroom or get in touch and tell us about your rooms and how you use them. We’ll show you suitable options and give honest advice.
We measure the room and check the subfloor, so your quote reflects the real job. Accurate measuring avoids waste and keeps patterns lined up.
Vinyl needs a smooth, clean, dry base. We remove old flooring and debris, and level or overlay the floor where needed.
We let the vinyl settle, cut it neatly around doors, pipes and fixtures, and fix it down securely. Trims and door bars finish the job, and we leave the room tidy.
If you’re thinking about how to install sheet vinyl flooring in your own home, it helps to know what makes it tricky. A roll of sheet vinyl is heavy and awkward to handle. It has to be cut in one go, so a single slip can’t be undone. And the corners, door frames and pipework are where cuts really test a fitter.
When we install sheet vinyl flooring, we plan the layout first so seams, patterns and wood-effect lines work with the room rather than against it. We trim with sharp blades for a clean edge and fix the sheet down properly, so it doesn’t lift, ripple or shift over time. In bathrooms and kitchens, where there’s more moisture and more movement, that attention to detail really pays off.
Patterns, seams and wood-effect lines are aligned with the room.

Vinyl works almost everywhere in the home. Here's how we approach each space.
Kitchens take a beating from spills, dropped pans and constant foot traffic. Sheet vinyl is a popular choice because it keeps joins to a minimum around units and appliances, and it wipes clean in seconds. We cut carefully around cabinet plinths so the finish looks neat.
Vinyl is water-resistant, hygienic and warmer than tile, which makes it a smart option for bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites. In wet rooms, fewer joins mean fewer places for water to get in. Careful cutting around the toilet, basin and pipework is key here.
For living rooms and open-plan areas, luxury vinyl tiles give you the look of real wood or stone with far less maintenance. They're a good fit for families with pets and children, and a sensible choice if you want a hard floor that feels less cold.
Hallways take the most wear in any home, with muddy shoes and constant traffic. Vinyl handles it well and cleans up quickly. In bedrooms, a good vinyl floor is a practical alternative to carpet, especially for anyone with allergies or a taste for a cleaner, simpler look.
We’re a local team that wants your floor done right. Here’s what you can expect:
You can fit vinyl yourself, but there are good reasons not to.
Proper preparation and fixing reduces the risk of bubbles, ridges and lifting edges, which are the most common problems with poorly fitted vinyl.
Sheet vinyl can't be uncut. A fitter works from accurate measurements and has the tools and experience to get it right first time.
Toilets, pipes, alcoves and doorways need precise cutting. This is where DIY jobs most often go wrong.
The finishing details, such as door bars and neat edges, are what make a floor look professional.
Clearing the room, preparing the floor and laying vinyl can take a weekend or more if you're learning as you go.
Our products carry a warranty, subject to terms and conditions, which you can read on our warranty page.
The cost depends on the size and shape of the room, the type of vinyl, the condition of the subfloor and whether old flooring needs removing. Because every room is different, we give a free measure and quote so you know the full cost, including fitting, before you commit.

Yes. Vinyl is one of the best flooring choices for bathrooms and kitchens because it’s water-resistant, easy to clean and comfortable underfoot. Sheet vinyl is especially popular, as it can cover the whole room with few or no joins.
Usually not. Most sheet vinyl is fitted directly onto a smooth, sound subfloor, and many types have a foam or felt backing built in. Some floors do need a smoothing layer or a ply or hardboard overlay first, and we’ll tell you if yours does.
Yes. Cutting around toilets, pipework, door frames and fixed units is a normal part of vinyl fitting. We trim carefully for a clean, close fit, and finish doorways with the right trims or door bars.
