Oadby is one of Leicestershire’s most desirable places to live, known for its excellent schools, green spaces and strong community feel. New build activity in and around Oadby — including developments close to the Oadby racecourse area and the broader Oadby & Wigston district — continues to bring fresh demand for high-quality interior finishing. If you’ve just moved into a new build in Oadby, Koti Homes is your local specialist for new build flooring. We work exclusively with new build properties and are based in Leicester, just minutes away, so we understand exactly what your home needs.
Why LVT Is the Best Choice for Your New Build in Oadby
LVT — Luxury Vinyl Tile — is Koti Homes’ top flooring recommendation for new builds in Oadby, and it consistently outperforms the alternatives. Unlike laminate, LVT is 100% waterproof, so it can be used in every room of the house including kitchens, bathrooms and en suites. It lasts around 20 years, roughly double the lifespan of most laminate products, and remains dimensionally stable in the changing conditions of a new build where humidity can vary. It’s also fully compatible with underfloor heating, which is increasingly common in modern Oadby homes. LVT replicates the look of real wood or stone with impressive realism, is easy to maintain, and feels comfortable underfoot. Whether you’re furnishing an open-plan kitchen-diner or a ground-floor hallway, LVT is the smart, durable choice. Browse our flooring options to explore the full range.
Carpets for New Builds in Oadby
Carpet brings warmth and comfort to new builds, and Koti Homes stocks an extensive range suited to every room. In bedrooms, saxony carpet offers a plush, indulgent feel that makes getting out of bed in the morning that bit harder. For stairs and hallways, we recommend twist pile — it’s resilient, pet-friendly, and handles the demands of daily family life with ease. Loop pile adds a smart, textured look that complements contemporary interiors. Our carpet range includes products from Abingdon, Invictus and Cormar, with Abingdon’s Stainfree collection featuring a lifetime stain guarantee. One of the biggest advantages of carpet in a new build is timing: carpet can be fitted the day you get your keys, as it is completely unaffected by subfloor moisture. Read our carpet FAQ for more guidance.
What About Vinyl and Laminate?
Koti Homes supplies vinyl sheet and laminate for new builds in Oadby as well. Vinyl sheet is a reliable, waterproof budget option that works well in utility areas, though it’s thinner and less premium than LVT. Laminate is popular for its appearance and price point, but it’s not waterproof and shouldn’t be used in kitchens or bathrooms. Its typical lifespan of 8–12 years also falls well short of LVT’s 20-year performance. For most Oadby homeowners, LVT is the better investment — but our team will guide you to the right choice for your needs and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Koti Homes fit flooring in my new build in Oadby?
Yes — Koti Homes covers Oadby and the wider Midlands. We specialise exclusively in new build properties and can start fitting the day you receive your keys.
How soon can flooring be fitted after moving into a new build?
LVT and carpets can be fitted very quickly after moving in. Carpets can go down from day one as they’re not affected by subfloor moisture. LVT should be fitted once the property has been lived in for a few weeks and the subfloor has had a chance to settle, though Koti will assess conditions on the day.
Why choose LVT over laminate in a new build?
LVT is 100% waterproof, lasts around 20 years, and is more stable in the conditions of a new build. Laminate is not waterproof, can swell in damp areas, and typically lasts 8–12 years. For most rooms, LVT gives better long-term value.
