Cardiff splits almost evenly between semis and terraces, close to three homes in ten each, with the Victorian streets of Canton, Cathays, Adamsdown and Roath holding most of the older stock. Those houses sit on suspended timber floors, and the void beneath them was designed to breathe.
Cardiff blends classic Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Pontcanna and Roath with modern waterfront living around Cardiff Bay. As the Welsh capital, it attracts a mix of families, professionals and investors. The city’s period homes suit traditional oak, while the Bay developments lean towards contemporary finishes.
Engineered wood in warm, mid-tone oak is the most popular choice across Cardiff’s family homes, particularly in the Victorian terraces of Pontcanna and Roath. LVT is the preferred option for Cardiff Bay apartments and modern properties. Porcelain tiles are increasingly chosen for kitchen-diners in Cyncoed and Whitchurch.
We deliver to CF3, CF5, CF10, CF11, CF14, CF23, CF24 and CF30.
Terraces are Cardiff's most common house type at 31%, ahead of semis at 29%, flats at 26% and detached at 14%, and 60% of the council's own stock predates the mid-1960s. The terraces of Canton, Roath and Grangetown are suspended timber at ground level and want levelling before anything is laid; the later estates are solid slab and want the damp-proof membrane checked. Cathays Park, Cathedral Road, Llandaff and Roath Park are among the 27 conservation areas, where original boards are protected. Plasdwr and the Lisvane schemes are the modern case: screed, underfloor heating, engineered wood over solid.
At the 2021 census, 26.5% of households in Cardiff lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 73.4% in a house or bungalow — 29.6% of all households in a terraced house.
