Waterproof Flooring in Hereford

The floors on this page are the ones the manufacturer lists as waterproof: the rigid-core vinyl range, in plank, herringbone and tile formats, and the Berry Alloc wall panels for the walls of a shower. In Hereford 88% of homes are houses, most of them detached houses (42%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Waterproof in Hereford

Waterproof flooring in Hereford: what the housing says

The Herefordshire, County of district counts 82,827 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a waterproof floor is specified here.

Detached houses are 42% of the homes in Herefordshire, County of, and they have more wet rooms than most: a kitchen, a utility, two or three bathrooms. The same range covers all of them, and the wall panels take the shower enclosure without grout. A large open kitchen is a long floating run, planned with its expansion gap.

Owner-occupation is 68% in Herefordshire, County of, and an owner refitting a bathroom in Hereford is choosing between a porcelain tile and a rigid-vinyl floor listed as waterproof: the tile is colder and harder, the vinyl warmer and quieter, both need a dry base. The wall panels are the third decision, for the shower.

Local conditions

Under a suspended floor in HR1 the void sits at outside temperature, with moving air on one side of the boards and a heated room on the other. Heat leaves downwards there, which is why insulation belongs between the joists rather than under the covering.

The floors listed as waterproof are the 36 BML rigid-core vinyl products, from BML Natural Oak SPC Click Flooring to the BML Herringbone Light Oak SPC and the BML Black Slate SPC Click Floor Tile. For the walls of a shower, the five Berry Alloc Wall & Water Shower Panels, 600 x 2400 mm and listed as waterproof; the panel guide sets out what that listing covers. Porcelain tiles are not listed with the attribute and are covered on their own pages.

Room by room

Waterproof in Hereford, room by room

  • Room

    Kitchens

    A kitchen in the historic core sits above a void that carries moisture from the bare ground beneath it, which rules out anything that swells at the edges. SPC will not draw up moisture from below, while the newer ground floors further out hold porcelain tiles without complaint.

    Bathrooms over a suspended floor

    Water getting past a bathroom floor in an old HR1 house has a ventilated void to fall into, and it will sit in there unseen. LVT absorbs nothing itself, but joints and thresholds are what keep water off the joists, so the sealing detail decides the outcome.

Local fact sheet

Hereford's homes, by the numbers

Herefordshire, County of in the 2021 census: 82,827 households, 87% houses, 12% flats.

HR1 and HR4 carry the Cathedral streets and the farmland at Backbury alike, and those two kinds of floor have little in common. The county boundary is no guide either, Herefordshire being a single authority end to end. Age settles a Hereford floor, and it wants establishing before anything is priced.

Detached and semi-detached houses together account for most of Hereford’s stock, with terraces well behind. In the historic core – Castle, Central, College – the ground floor is suspended timber laid over earth or rubble rather than a modern ventilated void, so airflow underneath matters as much as levelling on top.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Hereford

  • The listing is the product's A floor listed as waterproof does not make a room waterproof. The base under it and the sealing at the edges do.
  • Test the slab A hygrometer under a sealed box, dry at 75 percent relative humidity or below in BS 8203 practice, before any floor is laid over concrete.
  • Pooling water is wiped The MMFA cleaning guidance for multilayer floors: low-moisture cleaning, no standing water left on the surface.
  • Utility, boot room, porch A detached house has more wet thresholds: the utility, the back door, the porch. Each edge is sealed to the fitting instructions; the listing covers the board, not the joint.
  • Wear layer for the years A floor bought to keep in the kitchen or the hall takes the 0.55 mm wear layer; the listing as waterproof is the same on both wear layers.

Questions

Waterproof flooring in Hereford: questions, answered

Which floors are actually listed as waterproof?

The rigid-core vinyl range, all 36 products, and the Berry Alloc wall panels. The listing is the manufacturer's and refers to the product; how well a room in Hereford stays dry depends on the base and the edges.

Is a waterproof floor enough for a Hereford bathroom?

It is the right floor, and it is not the whole answer. The base has to be dry, the edges at the bath and the door threshold sealed as the fitting instructions say, and the walls of a shower dealt with separately, which is what the panels are for.

Are porcelain tiles waterproof?

Porcelain is fired dense enough that water does not soak in, and the tile guides explain the water-absorption figures the manufacturers publish. In this range the attribute "waterproof" is listed on the vinyl and the wall panels, so the tiles sit on their own pages.

Can I order flooring samples to my Hereford address?

Samples reach every part of the county we serve, HR1 and HR4 alike. Give one a few days on the floor it is meant for rather than a verdict in the hand: a board that curls over a damp void says so before you order the room.

Do you deliver waterproof flooring to Hereford?

Yes. We deliver across Hereford and Herefordshire from our UK warehouse, including the HR1 and HR4 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 waterproof sample before ordering in Hereford?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Hereford 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.
