Blaby district is one of Leicestershire’s fastest-growing areas for new residential development, with housing sites expanding across Blaby town itself and surrounding villages like Countesthorpe, Whetstone and Narborough. If you’re among the many new homeowners choosing Blaby as your base, Koti Homes is ready to help you finish your property in style. We are a Leicester-based specialist working exclusively with new build properties, and our deep understanding of how new homes are built means we can deliver the right flooring solution quickly, professionally and at a genuinely competitive price.
Why LVT Is the Best Choice for Your New Build in Blaby
When it comes to new build flooring in Blaby, LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is Koti Homes’ standout recommendation. Its 100% waterproof construction makes it the natural choice for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and open-plan areas — anywhere that laminate simply cannot be trusted. LVT has a lifespan of around 20 years, more than double that of most laminate products, and it handles the humidity fluctuations that are common in brand-new properties without warping, swelling or lifting. New builds in Blaby increasingly feature underfloor heating, and LVT is fully compatible with this — something not all flooring types can claim. Available in a beautiful range of wood and stone effects, LVT looks premium, feels comfortable underfoot, and is remarkably low maintenance. For kitchens, living rooms, hallways and wet rooms alike, it’s the floor that keeps performing. Browse our flooring options for the full range.
Carpets for New Builds in Blaby
Carpet adds warmth and a sense of home to new builds in Blaby — particularly in bedrooms, on stairs and across landing areas. Koti Homes supplies carpets from respected brands including Abingdon, Invictus and Cormar. For stairs and hallways, twist pile is our first recommendation: it’s tough, practical and handles heavy footfall without losing its shape — making it a great choice for families with children or pets. In bedrooms, saxony carpet creates a luxurious, soft feel that’s hard to beat. Loop pile offers a textured, contemporary finish for living areas and studies. Abingdon’s Stainfree range is a particular highlight, featuring a lifetime stain guarantee that takes the worry out of family life. And unlike LVT, carpet can be fitted from the very day you move in — subfloor moisture is not an issue. Read our carpet FAQ to learn more.
What About Vinyl and Laminate?
Alongside LVT and carpet, Koti Homes also installs vinyl sheet and laminate in new builds across Blaby. Vinyl sheet is an affordable and waterproof choice, well suited to utility rooms or areas where budget is the primary concern — though it doesn’t match LVT for thickness or luxury feel. Laminate provides great-looking finishes at accessible prices, but it’s not waterproof and wears out more quickly, typically lasting 8–12 years compared to LVT’s 20. For most new build homeowners in Blaby, LVT is the product we recommend most highly — but we’ll always tailor our advice to your rooms, your lifestyle and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Koti Homes fit flooring in my new build in Blaby?
Yes — Koti Homes covers Blaby 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.
