Vinyl explained

What Is Vinyl Flooring (and Is It the Same as Lino)?

Sheet vinyl is a flexible floor that comes off a roll, usually 2m, 3m or 4m wide, so most kitchens and bathrooms can be covered in one piece with no joins. It has a printed wood, tile or stone design under a clear wear layer, on a cushioned backing that feels warm and soft underfoot.

It’s affordable, quiet, comfortable to stand on and simple to keep clean, which is why it’s still one of the most popular floors for kitchens, bathrooms and rentals.

Is it lino? Many people in the UK call vinyl “lino”, but true linoleum is a different product, made from linseed oil, wood or cork flour and a jute backing. The cushioned vinyl most homes have today is PVC-based.

Cheap Vinyl Flooring in Chorley: Prices from £9.99

Vinyl from£9.99per square yard

Vinyl flooring in Chorley starts from £9.99 per square yard. That makes it one of the most affordable floors we fit, and your full price is set out in your quotation within 24 hours of a free home measure.

  • The range: felt-backed or foam-backed, wear-layer thickness, design.
  • Room shape: vinyl comes off a roll, so the width that suits your room affects how much is used.
  • Your subfloor: old floorboards may need overboarding, and uneven concrete may need smoothing.
  • Fixing method: loose-laid, taped or fully stuck down, depending on the room and the product.

Why roll width matters: a 3m-wide kitchen fits neatly on a 3m roll in one piece. The wrong width means paying for offcuts, or a seam across the room. We measure for the width that suits your room.

Where Vinyl Flooring Works Best

Kitchen Vinyl Flooring

Wipe-clean, soft underfoot if you drop a glass, and one piece across the floor with no joins for spills to creep into. Tile-effect and wood-effect designs are the most popular.

Bathroom Vinyl Flooring

Water-resistant, warm underfoot, and sealed at the bath and shower edges. Choose a slip-resistant range (many felt-backed vinyls are rated R10).

Utility Rooms & WCs

An affordable, practical floor for small, hard-working rooms: utility rooms and downstairs toilets.

Rentals & HMOs

Budget-friendly and easy to clean between tenants. Our £799 landlord deal includes a kitchen in vinyl.

Vinyl flooring fitting

How Vinyl Flooring Should Be Fitted

Measure & Check

Every room measured and the floor checked. Vinyl is thin, so bumps, nail heads and board edges can show through.

Prepare the Floor

Floorboards screwed down and overboarded with plywood if uneven or gappy. Uneven concrete smoothed. No underlay, which can make vinyl dent.

Cut to Fit

The sheet is cut around doors, pipes, kitchen units and bathroom fittings, ideally in one piece.

Fix It Down

Small rooms can often be loose-laid or taped. Bigger rooms, or anywhere with wheeled traffic, are usually stuck down fully. Any seams are sealed.

Finish the Edges

Door bars and thresholds, plus a sealant line at baths and showers in wet rooms.

Avoid common problems

Keep Your Vinyl Looking New

Yellow Stains Under Mats
Rubber-backed mats can react with vinyl and leave permanent marks. Use mats labelled safe for vinyl floors.
Dents From Appliances
Use wide furniture cups or protectors under fridge feet, table and chair legs.
Scuffs From Grit
A doormat inside the back and front doors, and regular sweeping. Grit wears the surface.
Dull or Sticky Floors
Clean with a pH-neutral floor cleaner and a damp mop. Avoid harsh chemicals and steam mops unless the manufacturer allows them.

The North West is one of England’s wetter regions. After a walk round Yarrow Valley or Astley Park, a mat inside the back door saves your kitchen floor.

I’m genuinely really pleased with the service I received from Hamza, Sabi and Shankar, and I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking to have new flooring fitted. From the very beginning, Hamza was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. He came out the same day to measure the space and provide a quotation, which I really appreciated. He also brought a good range of samples with him, so I was able to look at the different options properly in the room rather than trying to make a decision from pictures online. There was no pressure at all, and he took the time to answer my questions and make sure I was happy with the choice. Another big positive was that the uplift and removal of the existing carpeting was included at no extra cost. That made the whole process much easier and saved me the hassle of having to arrange it separately. Communication with Hamza throughout was straightforward and reliable, and everything happened as discussed. Sabi and Shankar then carried out the fitting and did a fantastic job. They professionally prepared the sub-floor before installing the Herringbone Karndean LVT, which was important to me because I wanted the flooring to be fitted properly rather than rushed. The herringbone pattern has been laid beautifully and the overall finish looks really clean, neat and professional. You can tell they took pride in the work and paid attention to the smaller details. Considering the quality of the flooring, the preparation involved and the standard of workmanship, I also thought the price was very reasonable. Overall, it was a very smooth experience from the initial measurement and quotation right through to the final installation. I’m really happy with how the floor has turned out and very appreciative of the work the whole team put in. A big thank you to Hamza, Sabi and Shankar. I would definitely use them again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.

From our shop at 50 Steeley Lane, Chorley, PR6 0RD. Vinyl starts from £9.99 per square yard, and we bring samples to your free home measure so you can choose an affordable range that still suits the room.

Sheet vinyl comes off a roll and is fitted in one flexible piece. LVT (luxury vinyl tile) comes as individual planks or tiles, feels firmer and more like real wood, and allows patterns like herringbone. Vinyl usually costs less.

Vinyl doesn’t absorb water, and fitting it in one piece means few or no joins for water to get through. In bathrooms the edges should be sealed at the bath and shower.

It depends on the range. Many felt-backed vinyls carry an R10 slip rating, and a textured finish helps too. For bathrooms, choose a slip-resistant range and wipe up standing water.

A felt-backed cushioned vinyl with a tough wear layer, in one piece if your kitchen width allows. Tile-effect and wood-effect designs hide everyday marks well.

Yes. It’s one of the most practical floors for homes with cats and dogs: water-resistant, easy to wipe clean after muddy paws or accidents, and warmer and softer underfoot than tiles. Sharp claws and dragged furniture can still nick or dent cushioned vinyl, so keep claws trimmed and put felt pads under furniture legs.

Not quite. Many people call vinyl “lino”, but true linoleum is made from linseed oil, wood or cork flour and a jute backing. Modern cushioned vinyl is PVC-based.

Yes, but the boards should be screwed down, and overboarded with plywood if they’re uneven or gappy. Otherwise the board edges and gaps show through the vinyl.

Sometimes, if the tiles are firm and flat. Grout lines can show through thin vinyl, so the floor may need smoothing first. We check this at your free measure.

No. Cushioned vinyl has its own backing, and adding underlay can make it dent and move.

Felt-backed is more stable and often slip-rated, which makes it good for kitchens and busy rooms. Foam-backed is softer and quieter, which suits bathrooms and bedrooms.

Often not. Rolls come in 2m, 3m and 4m widths, so most kitchens and bathrooms can be done in one piece. Where a join is needed, it’s sealed.

Many vinyl ranges can. Check the product’s limit (many floors are rated to about 27°C at the surface) and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rubber-backed mats can react with vinyl and leave permanent stains. Use mats labelled safe for vinyl floors.

Sweep or vacuum, then damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads and steam mops unless the manufacturer allows them.
