New Build Flooring

Hello!!

We’ve reserved a new build 3 bed semi, however, the flooring isn’t included in the price. Any idea roughly how much it costs to have the house done? We are hoping for a tiled floor in the kitchen/diner, en suite bathroom, guest bathroom and downstairs loo. And carpet through the rest

    My granddaughter paid £2,300 for lounge kitchen 2 bathrooms vinyl.  3 bedrooms carpet in a 3 bed semi new build October 2021
  • Without knowing sizes of rooms which is essential for pricing up flooring £3-5k
  • Ours is a 2-bed. We paid around 7k. Hallway, lounge, bedrooms, stairs, and landing are all LVT, kitchen, bathroom, and cloakroom are tiles.

    If you floor's are of a floating  construction a decoupling membrane will be required and that does not guarantee that the deflection will be reduced to prevent tiles cracking.
    If the floor is on timber joist and well screwed down it still requires the decoupling membrane and self levelling compound before tiling.
    A cement floor is the cheapest to lay tiles on
