  Joists that have been cut into before

  In the Bank Top and Eastbourne terraces the joists under the ground floor have usually been notched for pipework at some point, and a notched joist gives more under load. Find out what is down there before settling a board thickness; engineered wood absorbs the movement that is left.

  Mowden and Cockerton semis

  The semi is what Darlington has most of, more of it than the railway terraces the town is known for, and ownership is comfortably the largest tenure. That makes a front room here a floor bought once, where a thick-topped engineered oak board is worth the difference.

  Terraces that end up let

  Private renting now takes in a large part of Darlington, and the older terraced stock is much of what gets let. What matters there is how tightly the planks lock together and how much surface sits above them, not the species of timber, which is an argument for LVT or a heavy laminate.

  Back kitchens over the pipe runs

  The kitchen in a Darlington terrace sits at the back of the house over the same void, and it is where the pipework that weakened those joists actually runs. Brace the deck if porcelain tiles are wanted; otherwise SPC asks nothing of the structure beneath it.
