Grey Flooring in Sutton Coldfield
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 Sutton Coldfield 75% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (36%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Grey flooring in Sutton Coldfield: what the housing says
The Birmingham district counts 423,455 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 36% of the Birmingham 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 28% of the homes in Birmingham, and a terraced front room in Sutton Coldfield 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.
Social renting is 24% of households in Birmingham, and grey laminate and grey rigid vinyl are the specification across that stock for the same practical reasons: they hide wear between inspections and sit with any wall colour a tenant chooses. A tenant fitting a floor in that stock needs the landlord's written consent first; the click floors lift again at the end of the tenancy.

Local fact sheet
Sutton Coldfield's homes, by the numbers
Birmingham in the 2021 census: 423,455 households, 75% houses, 25% flats.
Two towns answer to this name: around Four Oaks, Mere Green and Little Aston the houses are large and old, while on the Erdington and Kingstanding edge in B23 and B44 the streets are tighter and the rooms smaller. Work out which of the two your own address belongs to before taking advice from this page.
The census figures for Sutton Coldfield are Birmingham’s, so the semi-detached, terraced and purpose-built flat mix they show describes the city rather than Sutton itself. Across B72–B76 there are larger inter-war and Victorian houses around Four Oaks and Little Aston, mostly on suspended timber ground floors.
The void under a Four Oaks or Streetly reception room is ventilated from the outside walls, so the centre of a floor that deep sits furthest from moving air. Clear the airbricks before anything is laid; a blocked one tells in the middle of the room.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.
Guides
Before you choose
Before you order in Sutton Coldfield
- 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.
- Grey vinyl for the turnover A grey rigid vinyl with a 0.55 mm wear layer hides the marks between tenancies. A tenancy agreement usually needs the landlord's consent for a hard floor first.

Questions
Grey flooring in Sutton Coldfield: questions, answered
Which grey floor suits a north-facing room in Sutton Coldfield?
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 Sutton Coldfield address?
Samples come to a Sutton address on request, and here you want several. A piece that convinces in the hand reads differently at the far end of a reception room in one of the older houses. Judge it on the floor, in that room's own light.
Do you deliver grey flooring to Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. We deliver across Sutton Coldfield and West Midlands from our UK warehouse, including the B23, B44, B72, B73, B74 and B75 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 Sutton Coldfield?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Sutton Coldfield 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.
