live in a flat or maisonette
From 12.1% in Central Bedfordshire to 24.7% in Luton
ONS, Census 2021, 2021-03-21 · all local facts →Four dwellings in five across these three towns are houses; flats run from an eighth of the stock to a quarter.
Ownership is highest around Dunstable, where private renting is the thinnest we serve, and lowest in Luton, which lost more than six points of owner-occupation in a decade while renting climbed. Bedford, between them, keeps the region's only park homes.
Most jobs here come with a party wall on one side or both: the semi leads in Bedford and in Luton alike, detached estates second in the one and terraces in the other. Flats sit near a fifth in each of those towns, purpose-built where Luton counts them, so a hard covering has somebody's ceiling under it or a neighbour's room beside it.

Questions
Flooring in Bedfordshire: FAQs
Do you deliver flooring across Bedfordshire?
Yes – both halves of the LU group, LU1 to LU4 in one town and LU5 and LU6 in the next, though they answer to different councils; plus MK40, MK41 and MK42 around Bedford and Kempston. Caddington, Eaton Bray, Biddenham and Great Denham are on the same routes.
Which flooring is most popular in Bedfordshire?
Most of what we fit here is a semi, the commonest form in Bedford and Luton, so we usually recommend an engineered board floated over a rated resilient layer; it suits the flats near a fifth of both towns. Around Dunstable, in a market of owners, a thicker oak top layer earns its price.
Can I order flooring samples in Bedfordshire?
Samples go out on request – order a few and test them the way the house will. An owner should stand the board where the sun lands longest and live with the colour for a day. A landlord should drag a key across a corner and see what the wear layer gives back.
How many samples can I order?
Up to 10 samples per order, and up to 2 of any one product, at £1.99 each, posted to any address in Bedfordshire.
