Syston is a thriving town just north of Leicester, well connected by rail and road and increasingly popular with families and first-time buyers looking for new build homes within easy reach of the city. New build development in and around Syston — including sites close to Barkby Road and in the wider Charnwood fringe — continues to attract buyers seeking modern, energy-efficient homes. Koti Homes is based in Leicester, just minutes away, and specialises exclusively in new build flooring. We’re perfectly placed to help Syston homeowners finish their properties quickly, professionally and within budget.
Why LVT Is the Best Choice for Your New Build in Syston
LVT — Luxury Vinyl Tile — is Koti Homes’ top flooring recommendation for new builds in Syston. The key reason is waterproofing: LVT is 100% waterproof, which means it can be installed anywhere in your home, from the kitchen and bathrooms to hallways and utility rooms. Laminate, by contrast, is not waterproof and will deteriorate if exposed to moisture — a significant risk in any home, and especially in new builds where subfloors and walls are still drying out. LVT also lasts around 20 years, more than double the typical lifespan of laminate (8–12 years). It’s fully compatible with the underfloor heating systems found in many of Syston’s newest homes, and it comes in a wide range of wood and stone finishes that look and feel genuinely premium. It’s also easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical long-term choice. See the full range of flooring options on our website.
Carpets for New Builds in Syston
Carpet adds warmth and character to a new build, and for bedrooms, stairs and hallways in Syston, Koti Homes has exactly the right range. Twist pile is our top recommendation for stairs and high-traffic hallways — it’s exceptionally durable, handles daily wear with ease, and is a particularly good choice for pet owners. For bedrooms, saxony’s deep, sumptuous pile brings a genuine feeling of luxury to the room. Loop pile adds a smart, contemporary texture that suits modern interiors. Our carpet brands include Abingdon (featuring the Stainfree lifetime stain guarantee), Invictus and Cormar. Carpet also has a timing advantage in new builds: it can be installed from day one, as it’s not affected by subfloor moisture levels. Read more in our carpet FAQ.
What About Vinyl and Laminate?
Koti Homes installs vinyl sheet and laminate as part of our offering for Syston new builds. Vinyl sheet is a budget-friendly, waterproof option — practical for utility rooms or where cost is the primary concern. Laminate comes in a great variety of finishes but is not waterproof and can’t be used in wet areas. Its lifespan of 8–12 years is also significantly shorter than LVT’s. For most Syston homeowners, LVT delivers better long-term performance and value. Our team will always give honest advice on the right product for your home.

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