A guide to the city's housing areas
The city is three places in one: an ancient cathedral city, an industrial railway town and a post-war new town. The cathedral's west front dates from around 1210, while the new town estates are less than sixty years old. Each layer of building calls for slightly different floors. Choose your area below for local advice.
Victorian terraces near the centre
Close to the city centre, areas such as New England, Millfield, Fletton and Woodston have street after street of two-up, two-down terraces. They date from the city's railway and brickmaking past. Stairs are narrow and steep, and older floors are rarely level. A dense twist suits the stairs, and we check levels before laying LVT.
Nearby, West Town and Eastfield mix terraced houses with flats. At the 2001 census, only about 53% of Eastfield homes were owner-occupied. Where homes are let, durable floors that are quick to replace make sense.
The new town townships
The city was designated a new town in 1967. The development corporation, set up in 1968, was tasked with housing an extra 70,000 people. Townships at Werrington, Bretton and Orton, including Orton Goldhay, were built from 1971. Paston was mainly built in the 1970s and 1980s.
Many of these family homes now need new floors throughout. Fresh underlay makes a big difference after decades of wear. LVT in the kitchen and hall is a popular upgrade.
Hampton and the newest growth
Hampton, the fourth township, has been built on former brick fields since 1996. It is split into four local areas, including Hampton Vale. Further south, Great Haddon is planned for 5,350 homes. New homes need dry, level screeds before any hard floor goes down, and good underlay under every carpet.
Matching the floor to the room
Whatever the age of your home, a few simple rules help.
- Halls and kitchens: LVT or sheet vinyl, which cope with water and grit.
- Stairs and landings: a twist or loop pile that resists crushing.
- Lounges: a wool-mix carpet, or engineered wood with a rug.
- Bedrooms: a soft saxony on good underlay.
- Bathrooms: sheet vinyl or LVT with sealed edges.
Floors for landlords and businesses
Rented homes need floors that survive several tenancies. We suggest sheet vinyl in kitchens and bathrooms and a tough twist carpet elsewhere. Both are quick to fit and easy to replace one room at a time.
For shops and offices, carpet tiles are the practical choice. A damaged tile can be lifted and swapped without disturbing the rest. Polyflor safety vinyl suits wet areas such as staff kitchens and toilets.
