A shoemaking town and its homes

Rushden sits on the A6 between Bedford and Kettering, with the River Nene to its north. It had 31,690 residents in 2021, making it the fifth largest town in Northamptonshire. Together with Higham Ferrers, the wider urban area is home to more than 40,000 people.

The town grew on boot and shoe making. In the mid-1900s it had well over 100 boot and shoe factories, though only four shoemaking firms remain today. Rushden Hall, the oldest house in the town, now serves as the town council's base within public parkland.

What a factory town means for floors

A town that grew with its industry has housing from many decades, from older houses to recent estates. So we start each visit by checking what is under the existing floor. That decides which finish will last and whether any preparation is needed.

Older houses often have suspended timber floors upstairs and in front rooms. Boards can creak and let draughts through the gaps. Carpet on a good underlay quietens them and keeps the room warmer.

Back kitchens and extensions in older homes may have solid floors with no damp-proof membrane. We take a moisture reading before laying LVT or wood there. Sheet vinyl is a forgiving alternative if the floor is not dry enough.

Narrow stairs and busy hallways

Period staircases can be steep, narrow and turning. We measure every tread at the visit so the carpet fits tightly round each step. A dense twist pile holds its shape on the nosings, where stairs wear first.

Hallways take grit straight from the street. LVT or a hard-wearing twist carpet copes well here. A barrier mat inside the door helps whichever floor you choose.

Rented homes

If you let a property in the town, flooring has to survive several tenancies. A hard-wearing twist carpet in bedrooms and sheet vinyl in kitchens and bathrooms keeps replacement costs down. We can quote only the rooms that need it, so you are not paying to replace floors that still have life in them.

Newer estates

More recent homes usually have concrete ground floors and boarded floors upstairs. These suit most finishes once we have checked the levels. New screed must be dry before LVT goes down, so we test it first.

Open-plan kitchen-diners are common in newer houses. One run of LVT through both spaces avoids threshold strips and makes the room feel larger. We check the whole area for dips before quoting, because a rigid floor shows every hollow. Upstairs, a quality underlay softens footsteps between floors.

Choosing samples at home is especially useful in older rooms with less natural light. A colour that looks pale in a shop can read darker on your floor.
