    I work as a laminate floor fitter, and without looking at the job, I'll be charging about £140 just for fitting the laminate and beading. The first quote seems very reasonable for supply and fit. Are both shops supplying the same laminate? Looking at the quotes, i guessing that the first quote is suplying a cheaper brand than the second.
  • the 2nd quote was for quickstep. cant remember name of first one but it wasnt quickstep

    Quickstep is one of the best brands around for laminate flooring. It's what i fit on a regular basis. Other well known brands are Pergo and Balterio.
    Is the thickness of the laminate on the cheaper quote the same as Quickstep?
