Thurmaston is a large village on the northeastern fringe of Leicester, well connected by the A46 and growing steadily as new build development fills in around the existing community. With proximity to Syston, Birstall and Leicester city itself, Thurmaston is increasingly popular with first-time buyers and families looking for new homes at accessible prices. Koti Homes is based in Leicester — just minutes away — and specialises exclusively in new build flooring. We know the demands of new properties inside out, and we’re ready to help Thurmaston homeowners achieve a beautiful, practical finish from day one.
Why LVT Is the Best Choice for Your New Build in Thurmaston
LVT — Luxury Vinyl Tile — is Koti Homes’ strongest recommendation for new build flooring in Thurmaston, and for very good reason. LVT is 100% waterproof: it can be installed in any room of your new home, including kitchens, bathrooms, en suites and utility areas, without any risk of water damage. Laminate flooring is not waterproof and will swell, lift or buckle if moisture gets underneath — a very real risk in new builds where the subfloor and plasterwork are still releasing moisture. LVT also lasts significantly longer — around 20 years compared to 8–12 for laminate. It’s compatible with underfloor heating, comes in a wide range of realistic wood and stone finishes, and requires only basic cleaning to stay in excellent condition. For your kitchen, hallway, living area and bathrooms, LVT is the most durable and practical choice. See our full flooring options.
Carpets for New Builds in Thurmaston
For bedrooms, staircases and landings in your Thurmaston new build, carpet is the natural choice — and Koti Homes has an excellent range to suit all tastes and budgets. Twist pile is our top pick for stairs and high-traffic hallways, offering long-lasting durability and a natural resistance to wear that makes it ideal for busy family homes. Saxony carpet gives bedrooms a rich, plush feel that hard flooring simply can’t replicate. Loop pile provides a smart, structured texture for living rooms and studies. Our range includes Abingdon, Invictus and Cormar, and Abingdon’s Stainfree collection comes with an industry-leading lifetime stain guarantee. A key advantage of carpet in new builds: it can be fitted the day you receive your keys, with no moisture concerns. Read our carpet FAQ for more detail.
What About Vinyl and Laminate?
Koti Homes also fits vinyl sheet and laminate for Thurmaston new builds. Vinyl sheet is an affordable, waterproof solution for utility rooms or budget-driven projects. Laminate offers attractive finishes but lacks waterproofing and typically wears out within 8–12 years. For most new build homeowners in Thurmaston, LVT offers better performance and longevity. We’ll help you weigh up every option for each room in your home.

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