ONS, Census 2021, 2021-03-21 · all local facts →
South Wales 27.7%Each square is 1% of homes

The oldest streets were laid out for the coal and metal ports, and terraces are what they left: the commonest house type in the capital, and second only to semis in the city to the west.

Ownership runs above seven in ten in two of these towns, while in the steel town more than a third of homes are rented.

Under the terraces the ground floor is boards over a void, in four of these towns rather than one, and a century of movement means levelling comes before any covering. Where the streets climb, the lowest floor was often laid with no membrane beneath it, so a damp-proof coat and a screed can cost more than the covering itself. Testing finds that; looking does not.

Questions

Flooring in South Wales: FAQs

Do you deliver flooring across South Wales?

Yes. Wherever the address sits in the CF, NP or SA postcodes, it is on a round – city wards and dock-side streets, the coastal towns, the villages of the Vale, and the estates at each borough's edge. Say if the street is narrow, so the drop can be planned kerbside.

Which flooring is most popular in South Wales?

Engineered board, because one specification then covers both halves of this round: it sits over a levelled timber terrace floor and equally over the slab and screed of the later estates. What changes between them is the preparation, so ask which base you have before you compare two prices.

Can I order flooring samples in South Wales?

Yes. In a terraced street the house next door is the same age and the same size, so a sample tells you more here when you can set it beside a floor a neighbour has already laid. Order two or three, and keep one for the room you have not started.

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 South Wales.
