Local homes
Preston’s homes range from Victorian terraces near the city centre to new-build estates on the edge of the city, and each type needs something different from its floor.
Many terraces near the centre have narrow, steep stairs and original timber floorboards. We check old boards for loose or squeaky spots before fitting, and a dense, hard-wearing carpet lasts longest on the stairs.
A common job is a full stairs, landing and lounge refresh. A soft saxony suits bedrooms and lounges, and laminate or LVT works well in a hallway.
New builds usually have concrete or chipboard floors and a fixed move-in date. LVT downstairs and carpet upstairs is a popular mix.
Rentals need floors that are hard-wearing, easy to clean and quick to fit between tenants. Sheet vinyl suits kitchens and bathrooms, and a hard-wearing twist suits bedrooms.
Good to know
22.4% of Preston households rent privately, up from 18.0% in 2011. Rentals need floors that are hard-wearing, easy to clean and quick to replace.
Preston’s population grew by 5.4% between 2011 and 2021, to around 147,800 people, with new homes built across the city.
The University of Lancashire, formerly UCLan, is based in the city centre, so many nearby terraces are student lets that need tough, low-maintenance floors.
Many streets near the city centre are Victorian terraces with narrow stairs, where a dense, hard-wearing carpet lasts longest.

Stairs and landings
Stairs are the hardest-working floor in the house, especially in a terrace where a single narrow flight takes all the traffic. We measure and fit stair carpet and stair runners for straight flights, winders and landings, and every flight is priced individually after a free measure.
A fitted stair carpet covers each step from wall to wall. A runner leaves a strip of the stairs showing on each side, which suits period homes with painted or varnished stairs. See our stair carpets and runners page for styles and options.
Hard flooring
The look of wood or stone at a lower price, tough enough for lounges, bedrooms and hallways. Best in dry rooms. Laminate flooring →
Waterproof, warm underfoot and quieter than laminate, so it’s popular for kitchens and open-plan new builds. Our floor fitters lay click, rigid-core and glue-down LVT, including herringbone. LVT flooring →
Sheet vinyl, often called lino, is the most affordable waterproof floor, and ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and student lets. Vinyl flooring →
