Grey Flooring in Gravesend
Grey runs through three ranges here, engineered oak, laminate and rigid vinyl, from the pale washed greys to smoked and concrete tones, so the colour can be chosen first and the material chosen for the room. In Gravesend 80% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (33%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Grey flooring in Gravesend: what the housing says
The Gravesham district counts 41,724 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a grey floor is specified here.
Semi-detached houses are 33% of the Gravesham stock, and the semi's knocked-through room has two lights, front and back. A single grey floor through both reads differently at each end, which is why the mid greys, the Cobham Smoked Grey Oak or the BML Grey Oak SPC Wide Flooring, are chosen more often than the palest ones for a long room.
Terraced houses are 30% of the homes in Gravesham, and a terraced front room in Gravesend faces one way and gets one light; a grey that looks pale in the showroom can go blue in a north-facing room. The Weybridge Light Grey Oak and the Weybridge Grey Washed Oak are stained oaks, so the grain warms the grey; the samples are the way to see which grey the room makes.

Local fact sheet
Gravesend's homes, by the numbers
Gravesham in the 2021 census: 41,724 households, 79% houses, 20% flats.
“Budget for the base as well as the boards.”
Better than one home in three across DA11 and DA12 has its floor chosen by a landlord or a housing association rather than by whoever walks on it, and social renting here sits where the previous census left it. That changes the brief: hard-wearing, and replaceable a plank at a time.
The terraced stock here dates from the years when Gravesend and Northfleet were cement and paper towns, and it comes with suspended timber ground floors above an open void, frequently not level. Semi-detached houses account for a similar share of the town. Preparation decides how the finished floor sits.
A Northfleet or Denton ground floor sits on joists above a void open to outside air, so warmth leaves downwards and the boards read cold underfoot. Underlay thickness and a properly closed perimeter are thermal decisions here, not only acoustic ones.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.
Guides
Before you choose
Before you order in Gravesend
- See the grey in the room A grey shifts with the light more than a natural oak does. Two or three samples on the floor for a day, morning and evening.
- Material for the room, colour for the eye The grey oaks for the dry, seen rooms; the grey SPC for the kitchen and bathroom; the grey laminate for bedrooms and landings.
- Stained oak can be sanded back A grey oak with a 3 mm wear layer can be taken back to natural later. A grey decor cannot.
- Two rooms, one grey A knocked-through semi shows the same grey in front light and back light. Lay samples at both ends of the room before choosing; a warm grey reads differently at each.
- Grey in a narrow room A terraced front room is narrow and lit from one end. A pale grey opens it; a dark grey closes it. Two samples at the window and at the far wall settle it.

Questions
Grey flooring in Gravesend: questions, answered
Which grey floor suits a north-facing room in Gravesend?
A grey with warmth in it: the stained oaks or the mid greys rather than the palest washed tones, which can turn blue in cool light. Samples in the actual room settle it faster than any description.
Is grey oak real wood?
The grey oaks in the range are oak boards that have been stained, smoked or limed, so the grain shows through the colour and the board can be sanded and refinished. The grey laminates and vinyls are printed decors.
Can I have a grey floor in the kitchen?
The grey rigid-vinyl planks and the concrete-look SPC tiles are listed as waterproof and belong in a kitchen. The grey oaks and laminates stay in the dry rooms.
Can I order flooring samples to my Gravesend address?
Yes, samples come to any DA11 or DA12 address, and they are best settled while the ply is still going down. Hold one against the skirting in the room's own light; a shade that suits a Pelham front room can look wrong in a back kitchen.
Do you deliver grey flooring to Gravesend?
Yes. We deliver across Gravesend and Kent from our UK warehouse, including the DA11 and DA12 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Can I see a grey sample before ordering in Gravesend?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Gravesend address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
