Quick answer
We supply and fit flooring in Branston, just south-west of Burton-on-Trent, covering both established homes and the large Branston Locks development. Carpet, laminate, sheet vinyl and LVT for homeowners, landlords and new-build buyers. Send your plot or room details for an indicative estimate, or book a home measure once your property is ready.
Branston sits just outside Burton and has changed a lot in recent years. Alongside its established streets, the Branston Locks development is bringing a large number of new homes to the area — and new-build owners there often want to plan flooring independently rather than take a developer upgrade.
We work with both: established homes updating tired flooring, and new-build owners planning a whole-house scheme around their completion date. We're independent, and not connected to any developer at Branston Locks.
Established homes and new-builds side by side
Branston's older homes have the usual mix of timber and solid floors, while the new homes at Branston Locks typically have concrete or beam-and-block ground floors. New subfloors hold construction moisture and continue drying for a long time, which matters for moisture-sensitive floors like laminate and some LVT.
For new-build owners, the most useful early step is planning the whole house — commonly carpet upstairs and hard flooring downstairs — and getting the timing right around wet trades and second-fix joinery.
Branston Locks — a note on the development
Branston Locks is a large housing scheme on the edge of Branston. Its scale and phasing have been reported by the developer, Crest Nicholson, which secured planning permission for a further phase as part of the wider scheme in East Staffordshire (see the source linked on this page). We mention it only to help local buyers plan flooring — we have no affiliation with the developer.
Local considerations
- Branston Locks is a live, phased development — plots complete at different times, so flooring is planned around each move-in
- New concrete subfloors need drying time before moisture-sensitive floors go down
- A whole-house scheme is easier to plan before you move in, if the programme allows
- We are independent — not approved by or affiliated with the Branston Locks developer
