Front and back of house treated differently
- Commercial LVT or vinyl in the dining area, chosen to suit the fit-out's look while standing up to chair and trolley wear
- Suitable slip-rated safety vinyl in the kitchen and behind the bar, specified against manufacturer data and the venue's own risk assessment
- Coved skirting in kitchen areas to support cleaning and pest-control standards
- Robust matting at the entrance and pass-through doors
Fitting overnight, ready for service
Most café and restaurant jobs happen after closing, with the floor fully cured and ready to walk on before the morning setup begins. Adhesive and product choice both factor into how quickly a floor can safely take furniture and foot traffic again, which we plan for at quote stage.
Where cheaper kitchen flooring becomes a problem
A domestic-grade vinyl in a working kitchen won't cope with grease, hot pans and constant hosing down, and it can lift or crack at seams far sooner than a proper commercial safety vinyl. Getting the kitchen spec right the first time avoids a repeat closure later.
Fife's café and restaurant scene
We've quoted for units across Dunfermline city centre, Kirkcaldy's High Street and coastal East Neuk venues, where older stone-built premises often need levelling or damp-proofing work before new kitchen or dining flooring can go down.
Working around a live kitchen
- Extraction and gas supply isolated by others before floor work near cooking lines begins
- Deliveries and bin stores kept accessible even during an overnight fit
- Furniture in the dining area stacked and reset before opening
