1st you will need to ply the floor for a flat surface.

I know a good fitter in Liverpool if thats any help.

thanks we live in south east london and i guess it would not be cost effective for him to come down, down here we have been quoted 250plus the charge for plyboarding.

For fitting a kitchen and utility room we have just been quoted £350.

This involves a latex screed over existing ceramic tiles for an area around 15sq metres.

benjus

I bought about 4 sq m of Karndean from a dealer here in Nottingham. They said they could fit it for around £200, but in the end I did it myself. If it's a simple design (i.e. no elaborate borders tracing around the walls and doorways etc) it's quite easy to DIY fit - both the Karndean itself and the adhesive are easy to handle. This was also over floorboards so I had to ply it first.

In the trade myself and we would charge £150 minimum to fit it. To supply and fit 4mm marine ply, £65 so all in all £215. We are East Midlands based so cant help you out in London. However, if you want to fit it yourself like benjus did im sure you could do a good job provided you take your time.It cuts like normal vinyl and is quite plyable, Karndean do recommend their own adhesive though .

just might do that as some of them down in london are a bit on the dear side thanks for advice.
