ONS, Census 2021, 2021-03-21 · all local facts →
Devon 29.7%Each square is 1% of homes

Terraces are the largest single house type in both cities on this round, and behind them stands the other local form: seaside villas since cut into flats.

Private renting has climbed in both cities across the decade and runs higher still in the bay, where the social sector is thinner than anywhere else we deliver to.

In both cities the terrace is the largest single house type, and it stands on joists at ground level. The bay's villa flats sit on joists as well, original ones, cut for one household and now carrying two. So a specification here turns on deflection and fixing rather than on moisture, and the answer comes from lifting a board rather than testing concrete.

Questions

Flooring in Devon: FAQs

Do you deliver flooring across Devon?

Yes. EX, PL and TQ are all served: Heavitree, Exwick and St Leonard's, Devonport across to Plymstock and Eggbuckland, and the resort wards from Tormohun and Ellacombe out to Cockington. Three separate authorities cover those addresses, and a single round covers them all.

Which flooring is most popular in Devon?

For a let or a holiday flat, click-fit vinyl planks are the recommendation: they go over an acoustic underlay in a conversion and lift at the end of a tenancy without harming the boards below. Choose by wear layer rather than species; where occupants change often, the surface is what gives out first.

Can I order flooring samples in Devon?

Yes, to any address on the round, including a flat inside a divided villa. Where one owner holds more than one flat in the same building, keep a piece back: matching the next flat to the floor already down is easier with the sample in hand than with a name on an invoice.

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 Devon.
