Wigston sits just south of Leicester and has grown into a busy residential area with a steady stream of new build developments — particularly along the South Wigston corridor and in areas bordering Oadby and Blaby. If you’ve recently picked up the keys to a new build in Wigston, you’ll want flooring that’s ready to impress from day one. Koti Homes is based in Leicester LE1, just minutes from Wigston, and we specialise exclusively in new build flooring. Our combination of expert knowledge, developer-direct pricing and rapid turnaround makes us the first call for new build homeowners across the area.
Why LVT Is the Best Choice for Your New Build in Wigston
LVT — Luxury Vinyl Tile — is the flooring Koti Homes recommends above all others for new builds in Wigston. It’s 100% waterproof, which makes it perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and wet areas where laminate would fail. LVT lasts around 20 years with straightforward maintenance — significantly longer than laminate’s 8–12 year lifespan. In a new build where the subfloor is still acclimatising and moisture levels can fluctuate, LVT’s stability is a distinct advantage over laminate, which can warp or swell. It’s fully compatible with underfloor heating and comes in an impressive variety of wood and stone finishes, so it suits any aesthetic from modern Scandi to classic heritage. Easy to keep clean and comfortable underfoot, LVT delivers premium results across your kitchen, hallway, living room and bathrooms. Explore our flooring options to see what’s available.
Carpets for New Builds in Wigston
Carpet is a popular and practical choice for bedrooms, stairs and landings in Wigston new builds, and Koti Homes offers a wide selection from quality brands. For stairs and hallways, twist pile carpet is our standout recommendation — it’s designed for durability and is excellent in homes with children or pets. Saxony carpet turns bedrooms into cosy retreats with its deep, luxurious pile. Loop pile offers a firmer texture that suits contemporary living spaces. Our carpet range includes products from Abingdon, Invictus and Cormar — with Abingdon’s Stainfree range offering a lifetime stain guarantee that’s ideal for busy households. Best of all, carpet can be fitted the day you receive your keys — it’s not affected by subfloor moisture, unlike LVT. Check our carpet FAQ for more information.
What About Vinyl and Laminate?
Koti Homes also fits vinyl sheet and laminate in Wigston new builds. Vinyl sheet is a cost-effective, waterproof option that suits utility rooms and budget-led projects. Laminate offers a wide range of attractive looks at accessible price points, but it is not waterproof and isn’t suitable for kitchens or bathrooms. Its lifespan of 8–12 years also compares poorly to LVT’s 20-year durability. For most Wigston new build owners, LVT is the smarter long-term choice — though our team will always help you find the right fit for your home and budget.

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