Laminate floor quote
~Chameleon~
Posts: 11,956 Forumite
I've had a quote of £500 to lay 25sqm of laminate flooring. This is for labour only and I'm to supply all materials (laminate, underlay, waterproof sheeting etc) so does this sound about right?
Only got the one quote so far as this person has been recommended so would prefer to use him if his quote is fair.

Yep, that sounds about right. The average cost for labour is around the £20-£30 per m2 mark.0

I'd get another quote op.0

I'd do it myself. I laid it in my kitchen, hall and living room myself. Get a half decent jigsaw and your laughing. The only difficult bits are when you have to cut longwise through a piece.0

We've already attempted that one in one of the bedrooms, and while it looks ok it's far from perfect! This laminate is going to be far more expensive though (Quickstep 950) so I would prefer a pro to lay it, especially as it will be on view to all and sundry who visit my house!

12-15 pounds is more reasonable on a job like this0

Sorry Jas, I'm with Alex on this. Laminate labour is £10 - £12 psm and if theres extra like the damp sheets etc then I would also agree £12 - £15 psm.
no way over £20. If it was solid wood yes.

Have to agree.I would do this for 200/250 and be well happy.Maybe 300 as you are in the affluent south:rotfl:0

300 is about fair. 500 is a bit much but if he is good, maybe worth paying the extra.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
