Gloucestershire · flooring delivered
Engineered Oak Wide Plank, LVT Vinyl Flooring and Laminate Flooring: the floors we recommend for Gloucester homes, delivered across Gloucestershire with samples at £1.99.
Local flooring specialist
Two homes in five in Gloucester are semi-detached, a higher share than anywhere else in the county. Private renting has climbed by almost four points in a decade while ownership fell, and most of that movement is in Barton and Tredworth rather than in the newer estates.
Gloucester combines historic cathedral-area properties with extensive Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the city centre, and large modern developments at Quedgeley, Abbeymead and Kingsway. The recently regenerated Docks area has added contemporary waterside apartments, while suburbs like Longlevens and Hucclecote remain popular with families seeking value over neighbouring Cheltenham.
Engineered oak in mid-tones is the bestseller across Gloucester’s family suburbs, balancing quality and value. LVT vinyl dominates kitchens and bathrooms, particularly in newer Quedgeley and Kingsway developments. Laminate remains the workhorse choice for the city’s significant buy-to-let market.

We deliver across Gloucester and the wider Gloucestershire area. Most in-stock orders arrive within a timeframe that depends on the delivery postcode. We also cover Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, the Forest of Dean, Cinderford, Lydney, Newent and surrounding Severn Vale.
Delivery detailsMuch of Gloucester is interwar semi, and in that plan the hall runs to a step down into a kitchen added later. The step is where two subfloors of different ages meet, and it is settled before a material is chosen.

See it on the mapLocal fact sheet
Semi-detached houses make up 39.6% of the stock recorded for Gloucester, with terraces at 20.7% and purpose-built flats at 14.7%. Owner occupation has slipped from 67.2% in 2011 to 63.9%, while private renting has moved up to 21.3%. Rented homes tend to be refitted between tenancies rather than lived through, which argues for a hard-wearing wear layer and a fitting method that lets one damaged plank come out without disturbing the rest. Across GL1, GL2 and GL4 — Barton and Tredworth, Coney Hill, Barnwood, Abbeymead and Hardwicke among them — the question at survey is whether the ground floor is solid or timber, because one wants a moisture reading and the other wants levelling before anything goes down.
At the 2021 census, 18.2% of households in Gloucester lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 81.3% in a house or bungalow — 20.7% of all households in a terraced house.

Yes, to Gloucester and across Gloucestershire — the GL postcodes covering Kingsholm and Wotton, Barton and Tredworth, Podsmead, Tuffley, Matson and Robinswood, Longlevens, Hucclecote, Abbeydale, Elmbridge and Quedgeley.
In an interwar semi the two halves of the ground floor are rarely the same age or the same height. Get the levels and the junction agreed first; after that a hard-wearing laminate, LVT or engineered board all work, and the choice comes down to traffic.
In a let it is the hall and the kitchen that take the wear, and they should be specified for it even if the bedrooms are kept simple. A hard surface layer through those two rooms outlasts a deeper, softer board everywhere.
You do not need a showroom nearby: we deliver to your door in Gloucester. 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.
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.
