Stone buildings beside the Nene, and what they need

Oundle is a market town on the left bank of the River Nene, home to 6,254 people at the 2021 census. The town is built on oolite, a Jurassic limestone. The spire of St Peter's Church rises 210 feet, the tallest in Northamptonshire.

The Talbot Hotel was rebuilt in stone in 1626, reusing material from the ruins of Fotheringhay Castle. Oundle School traces its roots to Laxton Grammar School, founded in 1556.

Older stone houses

Period stone homes often have solid floors laid without a damp-proof membrane. Moisture rising through them can lift glued LVT and swell timber. We test every solid floor at the visit and only recommend a hard floor where it will last.

Where moisture is a concern, carpet on a suitable underlay is often the safer option. If an old floor is uneven, levelling is listed on the quote before anything is booked.

Choosing floors for period rooms

Thick stone walls keep rooms cool, so warmth underfoot matters. A pure wool carpet suits sitting rooms and bedrooms, and wears gracefully over many years. Engineered oak gives the character of old boards with much less movement through the seasons.

Light in older rooms can be soft and low. That is why we bring samples to your home rather than asking you to judge colour under showroom lights.

Kitchens, boot rooms and garden rooms

These rooms take the most water and grit. LVT in a limestone or flagstone design sits well beside real stone, yet it is warmer and quieter underfoot. It also wipes clean in seconds, which helps with dogs and muddy boots after a country walk.

If an extension or garden room has underfloor heating, LVT and engineered wood both work over it when fitted correctly. We check the heating type at the visit and choose a compatible product.

Old staircases

Staircases in older houses may turn, narrow or vary from step to step. We measure each tread individually. A runner with a wooden border either side shows off original stairs, while a fitted carpet is warmer and quieter.

Newer homes and businesses

Newer houses usually have level screeds. LVT or laminate can then run through the ground floor with few joins. For shops and offices, carpet tiles and Polyflor safety vinyl are quick to fit and simple to replace in sections.
