Period homes in a historic village

Northborough is a small village and civil parish in the Peterborough district, with about 1,300 residents. Its fortified manor house was largely built by Roger de Norburgh in the early 14th century. St Andrew's Church keeps Norman sections from the late 12th century.

The poet John Clare moved here in 1832, to a detached thatched cottage. Accounts from his time describe cottages with large gardens, orchards and paddocks.

Caring for older floors

Older cottages often have solid ground floors laid long before damp-proof membranes were used. We test for moisture before fitting LVT or wood over them. If a floor is too damp for a hard surface, we will tell you and suggest an alternative.

Period floors are rarely flat. A rigid laminate can rock over dips, while carpet on a good underlay hides small variations. Where you want a hard floor, we level first and include that cost in your quote.

Staircases and low ceilings

Cottage stairs are often steep, narrow or turning. We measure each step individually, so the carpet sits tight on every tread. Where door clearance is low, we check the finished floor height before you choose a thicker carpet or underlay.

Newer homes in the village

Later houses usually have concrete ground floors that suit LVT and laminate well. We still check the level first, as even a modern screed can have hollows.
