What's included
The rate covers the installation itself:
- Taking up and removing the old floor, whatever is down now
- Cutting and fitting, including around stairs, islands and doorways
- Glue and nails on engineered, glue on glue-down vinyl
- Clearing up and taking the waste with us
Subfloor levelling, if it’s needed, is priced in the same written quote, and the written quote is what you pay. The only exception is hidden damage we can’t see until the old floor is up, such as rot or water damage: we show it to you and price it before going any further.
What changes the price
Two floors of the same size can quote differently. What moves it:
- Herringbone and chevron take longer to lay than straight plank
- A subfloor that needs levelling before anything goes down
- Stairs, which are priced per flight rather than per square foot
- Glue-down over floating, which is slower and uses more material
- Small rooms with a lot of cuts, compared with open space
