Flooring Specialist Delivering
to Durham & County Durham

More of Durham is terraced than most of the north east, better than a third of households, with Gilesgate, Elvet, Framwellgate and Neville's Cross close in and the former pit villages at Sacriston, Brandon, Deerness and Shotton around them. In houses of that age, what is already on the floor is often not the first thing to have been laid there.

Durham combines internationally significant Cathedral and Castle UNESCO heritage with elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses around the historic core, substantial family homes in Crossgate and Neville’s Cross, plus university-quarter properties in Gilesgate. The Cathedral, Castle, top-ranked university and proximity to Newcastle drive premium values in this exceptionally architecturally significant city.

Solid oak in hand-scraped finishes and engineered oak in warm smoked tones lead Durham’s premium renovations, particularly in Cathedral-area townhouses and Crossgate properties. Herringbone parquet is the standout upgrade for premium townhouse hallways, while LVT and laminate dominate the substantial Durham University student rental market.

Local conditions

Lifting the old covering, the adhesive under it, the disposal and a look at what lies beneath all belong in the quotation rather than in the surprise afterwards. What is there now is rarely the first thing to have been laid in these houses.

Local fact sheet

Delivery and local detail in Durham

These census figures are reported for County Durham as a whole, the unitary authority the area sits in, and they show a housing profile with almost no flats in it: 5.4%, against 38.2% semi-detached and 35.4% terraced. DH1 and DH99 reach Belmont, Elvet, Gilesgate & Shincliffe, Framwellgate & Newton Hall, Neville's Cross and Sacriston & Witton Gilbert. Long terraced rows generally sit on suspended timber ground floors, where airbricks left unblocked and a proper level survey decide the result: three millimetres of dip across a room is enough to open joints in a floating system. Social renting stands at 20.0% and ownership at 62.5%, down from 65.8% ten years earlier, and rented stock tends towards formats that can be replaced quickly.

At the 2021 census, 5.4% of households in County Durham lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 94.4% in a house or bungalow — 35.4% of all households in a terraced house.

Questions

Durham flooring FAQs

Do you deliver to Durham and County Durham?

Yes, to Durham and across County Durham — DH1 covering Elvet, Gilesgate and Shincliffe, Framwellgate and Newton Hall, Neville's Cross, Belmont, Pittington and Sherburn, Sacriston and Witton Gilbert, Brandon, Deerness, and Easington and Shotton.

What flooring suits Durham’s Cathedral-area heritage properties?

In the older Cathedral-quarter houses, one caution outranks the choice of board: small floor tiles and the black adhesive under them, in properties of a certain age, can contain asbestos. They must not be broken up, sanded or drilled — work stops and someone qualified assesses them.

Which flooring is best for Durham University student rentals?

Student lets are refitted in one short summer window, and what is found under the old floor is what sets the timetable. Book the survey before the tenancy ends rather than after, so the removal and any levelling are priced and planned before the keys come back.

Where can I buy flooring near me in Durham?

You do not need a showroom nearby: we deliver to your door in Durham. Order samples at £1.99 each, compare colour and finish at home in your own light, then order the floor. Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode; the estimate is on our Delivery & Returns page.

How many samples can I order to Durham?

Up to 10 samples per order, and up to 2 of any one product, at £1.99 each. Two or three candidates side by side on the floor, in the room’s own light morning and evening, settle a colour faster than any photograph.
