Cambridgeshire · flooring delivered
Engineered Oak Mid-Tone, LVT Vinyl Click-Lock and Laminate Flooring: the floors we recommend for Peterborough homes, delivered across Cambridgeshire with samples at £1.99.
Local flooring specialist
Ownership in Peterborough has fallen by close to four points in a decade while private renting has risen by more than five, a marked change over a short period. Central, Dogsthorpe, Fletton and Woodston carry most of it. Where tenancies turn over, the floor has to survive the turnover as much as the tenancy.
Peterborough combines historic Cathedral-area properties with extensive modern developments at Hampton, Stanground South and the rapidly growing Great Haddon area, plus established family suburbs in Werrington, Bretton and Orton. The Cathedral city’s position on the East Coast Main Line (50-minute trains to London Kings Cross), A1 and A14 makes it one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities.
Engineered oak in mid-tones and LVT vinyl dominate Peterborough new-builds, both compatible with the underfloor heating standard in modern estates. Laminate remains the popular choice for bedrooms and the city’s significant rental market, while porcelain tiles feature in the larger kitchen-diners of premium developments.
Our pick for Peterborough
Engineered Oak Mid-ToneSource: ONS, Census 2021, Peterborough (E06000031) · Postcode districts: postcodes.io (ONS geography)
We deliver across Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire and Fenland area. Most in-stock orders arrive within a timeframe that depends on the delivery postcode. We also cover Stamford, Spalding, Wisbech, March, Whittlesey, Oundle and surrounding Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire borders.
Delivery detailsWhere tenancies turn over, repairability decides the real cost. A floor laid in planks that lock together can have one board lifted and swapped between tenancies; a bonded floor usually cannot, and a single deep scratch then means the whole room.

See it on the mapLocal fact sheet
Owner occupation in Peterborough sits at 55.5%, down from 59.3% a decade earlier, with social renting at 18.6% and private renting at 24.4%. That much renting shapes what gets specified: landlords and agents buy for the next several tenancies, so scratch resistance and the option of swapping a single board outrank almost everything else. The built stock is house-dominated at 82.5%, and 27.9% of it detached, which normally means a solid base downstairs and timber upstairs — two different preparations under one roof, and two different underlays. PE1 to PE4 and PE7 take in Bretton, Dogsthorpe, Gunthorpe, Hampton Vale, Fletton and Woodston, and Glinton and Castor.
At the 2021 census, 16.8% of households in Peterborough lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 82.5% in a house or bungalow — 21.9% of all households in a terraced house.

Yes, to Peterborough and across Cambridgeshire — PE1 to PE4 and PE7 covering Central, Bretton, Dogsthorpe, Gunthorpe, East, Fletton and Stanground, Fletton and Woodston, Glinton and Castor, Eye, Thorney and Newborough.
A new house has two subfloors: a slab downstairs and a chipboard deck upstairs. They want different things — the slab wants a moisture reading, the deck wants its screws checked and an underlay that deadens footfall — so one specification rarely suits both storeys.
For a let, ask whether one damaged plank can be replaced without lifting the room, and whether the range will still exist in a few years. Buy a little extra from the same batch and leave it in the loft with the property.
You do not need a showroom nearby: we deliver to your door in Peterborough. 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.
