Laminate Flooring - cost for someone to install - how much?

AMO

Hi all,

I am asking around for a few quotes on fitting laminate flooring for me.

Living Room
710x345 - 24.495 sqm

Conservatory
300x310 - 9.3 sqm

Dining Room
315x350 - 11.025 sqm

Master Bedroom
410x380 - 15.58 sqm

Dressing Room
270x370 - 9.99 sqm

Study Room
325x350 - 11.375 sqm

I'll have ordered the laminate flooring, scotia and underlay delivered at my house and I will have removed all carpet and grippers and small objects in each room (leaving only large items like bed/sofa which would be hard to remove).

What kind of price should I expect to pay for getting someone to install laminate fitting only including scotia/underlay?

The above totals 82 square meters.

Also, whilst I am going to use scotia, at my last house, because scotia couldn't be put alongside the frame of the door, the person laminates as far as they could and then sealed it with some kind of white glue that's very visible and looks ugly.

How much time / effort would it take to ask for the bottom of the door frames to be cut and for laminate to go under the frame - from what I can tell from the QuickStep guide, this seems the norm anyway.

The laminate I am using is QuickStep Perspective 4 (9mm) which is meant to be fairly easy to install.

Thanks.

I've heard of guys charging £10 a sqm in my city.Not sure if that's an average price but I'll be laying myself as usual as I've got around 80sqm to do aswell,unless I change my mind about some bits (very tempting!)

£10/metre sounds about right, I did get some done for £8/m a couple of years ago.

You probably looking at about £850-£900 to have the laminate and scotia fitted.

I've always cut the door frames to slide the laminate underneath it. Gives it a much neater finish.

With it being a thicker laminate and depending on what underlay you use, you may need to shave the bottom of the doors off a bit.
