This page covers a borough rather than a town. B70 and B71 are the middle of it, with B21, B66, B67 and B69 ringing it round, and the housing carries on into Oldbury, Tipton and Wednesbury without anything at the roadside marking where one ends and the next begins.
Semi-detached houses account for close to half the stock across Sandwell, terraces and flats behind. Tenure marks the borough out: ownership sits well below what we see in most towns, social renting is heavy, and private renting has climbed sharply. The floor is often a landlord’s decision.
Tenure decides the specification more than taste does. In a home that changes hands often, an AC-rated Laminate Flooring or a mid-wear-layer LVT over a properly prepared base outlasts a thin engineered board, and costs less to put right when it fails.
Engineered oak is a weaker fit across much of Sandwell: a thin wear layer takes a beating in a rented semi and cannot be sanded back many times.
Shop rangeA mid-wear-layer LVT handles spills and heavy footfall in a Greets Green or Langley semi, and a damaged plank can be lifted out without redoing the room.
Shop rangeAn AC-rated laminate over a prepared base gives a Sandwell landlord a floor that usually lasts a tenancy and costs little to renew when it has not.
Shop rangeWest Bromwich covers B70 and B71, with B69, B66, B67 and B21 across the borough. It is part of Sandwell, a metropolitan borough of the West Midlands. Sandwell has the second lowest ownership rate we deliver to at 53.7%, down 3.2 points, with social renting at 26.6% and private renting up 5.7 points to 18.6% — the largest increase in private renting on this list. Nearly half of all homes are rented. That single fact should decide the specification: an AC-rated laminate or a mid-wear-layer LVT laid over a properly prepared base will outlast a thin engineered board in a property that changes hands, and it costs less to put right when it does not.
At the 2021 census, 19.2% of households in Sandwell lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 80.7% in a house or bungalow — 24.4% of all households in a terraced house.
