March Hare its a bit more technical than carpet laying. You may need to put some levelling compound down. I know its a kennels, but it is more to allow adhesive 100% contact in your case.

To complete answer to your question to fit into corner you need to remove a v section of the flooring the bottom of the v will have a 90 degree angle. As flooring goes up the wall the two legs of the v will come together and form a seam. Difficult to describe in words, hope you can fathom it out. You can try with a piece of paper to make a pattern that you can cut your flooring to.
Had mine fitted professionally in my bathroom, it's called Polysafe 'Hydro' sheet safety flooring.

March-Hare It was done as a complete bathroom job by a company called Kier and they have different people to do different jobs but I do remember the man who did the flooring had a time set by just for him to do that job as it seemed quite a specialist job. If this is the flooring you are after, you could probably phone the polyflor company for advice about fiiting, and I think you could probably ask for samples.
The joints in wetroom flooring are welded using a tool that works much like a soldering iron. It can have various tips fitted, depending on the weld required.
Whenyou are paying in excess of £50 per metre for your flooring. Best to leave it to the guy who knows, otherwise it could become a bit expensive to teach yourself by DIY.

I would just google Wet room installers (your area) and go from there. Personally I personally would take membership if trade association with a pinch of salt. I find them a bit incestuous, with trader paying association to join and be recommended, just doesn't sit right with me. Before you sign up just ask to see some previous work.
As Tony says, it will all be there to see on youtube .. have a quick look at this, it should help you understand what may be involved.
