Just after opinions if this quote sounds okay. We've used the company before on a few different jobs, and they have always done right by us. Problem is I can't seem to get anyone else to come and quote anyway. The floor is approx. 22 square meters, it will be cleared of old carpet, grippers etc, and generally tidied up by me before they start.
Supply Oak engineered wood flooring and beading £1400 + VAT
6mm ply lining, Bitumen paper, foam underlay, trim, nails, silicone etc. £480
Labour for fitting all - £1,450 (Est. 5 days labour)
Total £3330
With Vat £3996
In our old house we'd have bought cheap carpet and get their fitter to fit, but we moved into a decent house and want something that will last. N.b. we are having beading as we can't really have the skirts removed and refitted without huge extra expense.

It’s not particularly cheap. For example the flooring is £76 / sqm. You can get cheaper, but the quality obviously varies.
5 days for fitting sounds like a lot, but it depends on the room layout. Complex edges take far more time than just laying planks next to each other in the middle of a square room.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
