wood/laminate flooring for lounge

chickaroonee

I'm looking for quotes to buy and fit either wood or laminate flooring in our lounge. We only plan to stay in our house for another year or two, so don't want to spend a great deal - hence why I'm considering laminate despite much preferring wood. We're hopeless at diy so don't want to fit it ourselves. We might also have it in the kitchen if it will look ok.

Any recommendations of companies either national or in the North West? Not really sure where to start looking!

I purchase some laminate flooring from a company called Flooring Direct. It was only £6.75m2 and looks great down.

You could give them a try www.ukflooringdirect.co.uk

i have found a place that is amazing!! Woodfibre UK, they trade on ebay but i have been to there warehouse, They also supply BnQ so you know its a company to trust! They specialise in underlay which is £20 a pack in BnQ and in there warehouse its £10! Very worth while putting down!

I have the Oak V-groove in my front room and everyone comments on how nice it is! Everyone asks were i got it from

ive also used woodfibre uk for underlay. bought pallets of the stuff from them. good price and good delivery too.
BQ is very good for cheap laminate. get your granny to go with you with her special card on wednesdays for an extra 10% off.
handy when you are doing a 2000 sq ft floor!


btw.
the going rate for laminating a room is about 600 quid round here!

thanks everyone - did you fit it yourselves? Bit worried about doing that as not sure we can do it!

I've fitted engineered wood plank, the click fit type. I had a jigsaw and a workmate, and managed it reasonably easily, by taking my time, and double measuring etc.

The only bit I couldn't do myself was mitre the 5" solid oak skirting. If you are having beading around existing skirt it would be entirely do-able by yourself.
