  Ground floors with no joists under them

  Corby grew as a planned town around its steelworks, and nearly all the housing that came with it and after it stands on concrete instead of joists. That takes levelling out of the job and puts moisture in its place: read the slab, then float laminate over a good underlay.

  Kitchens and utility rooms

  A concrete ground floor gives an NN17 kitchen the flat, rigid base that hard finishes ask for, so porcelain tiles can be bedded straight onto it with no plywood deck in between. Where the membrane looks doubtful, SPC over a liquid barrier is the safer answer.

  Living rooms in Kingswood and Corby Village

  Since the base starts out flat, the decision in a living room here turns on how the floor feels underfoot rather than on what has to be corrected below it. A dense underlay beneath engineered oak kills the hollow note a floating floor makes over bare concrete.

  Homes let across NN18

  Private renting has grown quickly across North Northamptonshire while ownership slipped, and a landlord is buying a floor somebody else will walk on. The slab keeps preparation cheap, so the money that would have gone on levelling can go into the wear surface of a dense laminate.
