Shoe-town terraces, villas and new estates

Kettering grew on the boot and shoe trade. Thomas Gotch set up a shoe business here in 1777, and the industry boomed once the railway arrived. Loake still makes shoes in the town today.

That boom shaped the housing. Factory owners built large homes in areas such as the Headlands and Rockingham Road. Workers lived in rows of terraced streets. To the east, Hanwood Park is a large new neighbourhood planned for 5,500 homes. Each type of home calls for a different approach to flooring.

Workers' terraces

Terraced houses tend to have narrow, steep stairs and small hallways. A dense twist carpet is easy to fit on tight stairs and hides wear. In the hall, LVT or sheet vinyl handles wet shoes far better than carpet. Older floors are rarely flat, so we check levels first and quote any levelling at £5–£15 per m².

Larger period homes

Bigger houses suit wool carpets and engineered oak. Period rooms can have high ceilings and large windows, so a wool saxony adds welcome warmth. Solid ground floors in older homes need a moisture test before any hard floor goes down.

New homes at Hanwood Park and beyond

New builds usually come with bare screed or chipboard. A fresh screed must be dry before LVT or wood is laid. Good underlay under every carpet makes a big difference to warmth and noise. Planning the whole house in one visit keeps colours and thresholds consistent.

Buying off-plan? Measuring can wait until you have the keys, so the quote reflects the rooms as built. If you want floors down before moving day, book the visit as soon as you can get access.

Carpet or hard floor? A room-by-room guide

Most homes end up with a mix. This is the pattern we suggest most often, though your quote is always built around how you live.

• Bedrooms: a saxony or wool-mix carpet for warmth and comfort.
• Stairs and landing: a twist or loop that resists crushing.
• Lounge: wool-mix carpet, or engineered wood with a rug.
• Hall and kitchen: LVT, which copes with water, grit and heavy traffic.
• Bathroom and utility: sheet vinyl or LVT with sealed edges.

Pets and young children change the picture. A pet-friendly twist or a scratch-resistant LVT can save money in the long run. We will talk through the options at your visit. You can also see samples at our Peterborough showroom before you decide.
