Homes in a historic cathedral city

Ely is a cathedral city in East Cambridgeshire, built on a clay island that is the highest land in the Fens. That is why it is still called the Isle of Ely. The cathedral, begun in 1083, is known as the Ship of the Fens.

The city holds 23 Grade I, six Grade II* and 153 Grade II listed buildings. It has also grown fast, from 11,291 people in 1991 to 20,574 in 2021. So historic houses and new estates sit within a short walk of each other.

Listed and period homes

Older houses often have solid floors laid without a damp-proof membrane. We test for moisture before fitting LVT or wood, because trapped damp can lift both. Wool carpet over a suitable underlay is often the kinder choice in these rooms.

If your home is listed, check with the council before changing original floors. Uneven boards are common in period rooms. We check levels at the visit and include any levelling in the quote.

Newer homes

Many newer houses have level, sealed ground floors that suit LVT and laminate. In a brand-new home, the screed may still be drying, so we test before laying hard floors. Carpet upstairs keeps bedrooms warm and cuts noise between floors. Builder-grade carpets are often thin, so the stairs and landing make a sensible first upgrade.

Open-plan kitchens and family rooms look calmer with one floor running through. We plan the board direction and joins at the visit, so they line up through each doorway.

Near the river

The River Great Ouse is a popular boating spot with a large marina. If you live close to it, a hard floor in the hall and boot room makes muddy days easier. LVT and sheet vinyl both wipe clean in seconds.

Stairs and landings

Period stairs can be narrow, steep or winding, with treads of different depths. We measure each step on site, so the carpet sits tight. A runner can leave painted or timber edges on show. For a busy family staircase, a twist or loop pile in a mid tone hides wear far better than a pale plain carpet.

Choosing the right underlay

Underlay changes how a carpet feels and how long it lasts. A dense underlay helps the pile recover after footfall and adds warmth. We bring underlay samples to the visit, so you can compare them under foot.

Planning the fitting days

We fit room by room, so you can keep living in the house. Tell us which rooms matter most, and we will plan the order around them. For larger homes, the written quote sets out how the work will be split.
