Blackpool's homes, by the numbers
Blackpool in the 2021 census: 64,791 households, 79% houses, 21% flats.
Private renting reaches close to a third of all Blackpool households, and the town has an unusually large number of flats converted out of bigger buildings. Bloomfield, Brunswick and Claremont carry most of that, and much of it is let, furnished, and turned over more often than family housing is.
Blackpool combines Victorian seafront terraces and characterful properties around the Tower with extensive holiday-let stock in North Shore and Central, family homes in Bispham, Stanley Park and Marton, and the substantial neighbouring Cleveleys and Thornton properties. The seaside resort economy, holiday lets and value-driven family market shape almost every flooring decision.
A property that stands empty and unheated between lettings is a difficult place for a wooden floor. Boards take up moisture from the air around them and should sit in the room, at its normal temperature, before they are fitted — a step often skipped here.
