ONS, Census 2021, 2021-03-21 · all local facts →Every figure on this page is West Berkshire's, and the authority counts Newbury alongside Thatcham, Hungerford and Kintbury.
About one home in six in that count is a flat, and four in five of them purpose-built rather than divided out of houses.
An RG14 order is settled by the building at the address, not by the average.

4 chapters on Newbury homes and what they ask of a floor · about 1 min read
01/ 04
Newbury’s housing splits along the same line its map does.
Detached and semi-detached homes together make up most of RG14 and RG20, with terraces in the older centre and owners well ahead of renters. That leaves two subfloors within a mile: timber joists in the historic core, screed out on the later development.
02/ 04
Where the floor sits on joists, Engineered Oak Wide Plank tends to be the sensible pick – it moves less than solid boards across a springy span.
Out where the base is screed rather than timber, a floating laminate or click LVT goes down faster and sits lower at thresholds.
03/ 04
A Wash Common ground floor crossing four or five rooms is not heated evenly across them, and the room used least swings furthest.
Let the packs settle where they will be laid, and leave expansion room at every wall and doorway along the run.
04/ 04
Newbury covers RG14 and RG20 — Newbury Central, Clay Hill, Greenham, Speen and Wash Common, with Chieveley and Cold Ash, Hungerford and Kintbury around them.
It sits in West Berkshire, a unitary authority. Ownership was 67.6% at the 2021 census and private renting 17.1%. Newbury has a dense historic core — the town was a cloth-making centre from the medieval period — and a ring of much later development around it. That gives two entirely different subfloors within a mile: timber joists in the centre, slab and screed on the newer estates. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, confirm what you may remove before you plan what to lay.
At the 2021 census, 16.3% of households in West Berkshire lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 82.6% in a house or bungalow — 17.1% of all households in a terraced house.
Our picks for Newbury
Suits the detached and semi-detached stock that makes up most of Newbury, and copes with the timber joists under the older centre without the movement of solid boards.
Where the base is slab and screed, as it is on the later ground in RG14 and RG20, click LVT lies flat and the surface wipes clean after spills.
Sensible where a room is being refreshed rather than rebuilt, though in a listed or conservation-area property in the centre, confirm what you may lift before you order.
Floor by floor
Every floor, room and need we deliver to Newbury, 4 of them with a note on Newbury homes. Pick one to read it.
Floor typeNewbury
Ground floors in the town centre: Newbury Central grew out of the cloth trade, and stock of that age stands on timber joists with all the give that implies. Level the boards first, then let engineered oak absorb the seasonal movement that a solid plank would fight instead.
Floor type

Floor typeRoomNewbury
Back halls and utility rooms: The delivery area reaches well past the town, out to Chieveley, Cold Ash, Hungerford and Kintbury, where a back door works hard in every season. LVT in a tile format takes grit and wet boots better than any timber board on the market.
RoomNewbury
Kitchens on the newer estates: Barely a mile out, around Clay Hill, Greenham and Speen, the ground floor changes to slab and screed. On a base that flat and that dry, porcelain tiles or SPC go straight down without the preparation the old centre demands.
Room
RoomNewbury
Bedrooms: Whichever side of the Newbury divide a house falls on, its upper rooms stand on joists, so the underlay carries more of the decision than the surface does. A quiet room takes laminate happily; engineered wood earns its keep if it carries on downstairs.

We deliver right across RG14 and RG20, out past Downlands and Ridgeway to Kingsclere and Baughurst. Orders here are usually a whole ground floor, so tell us where the pallet can stand – a garage, a carport, a side gate wide enough – and it goes there.
Wear is settled at the front door, not in the sitting room. Where a Speen or Evingar order covers rooms of very different traffic, buy to the busiest: in an engineered board that means the depth of the top layer, and in LVT the wear class.
We post samples to any RG14 or RG20 address, and with an order this size, take several. Lay them out along the whole run before you commit, because a board that looks right in the hall can go flat in a north-facing back room.
