What affects the price
- Material choice - laminate, vinyl, and timber all have different supply and installation costs.
- Subfloor condition - an uneven or damaged subfloor needs preparation before new flooring goes down.
- Old floor removal, if you're replacing existing flooring rather than installing on a bare subfloor.
- Room layout and cutting complexity - awkward shapes and lots of doorways increase labour time.
- Moisture barrier requirements, particularly in bathrooms, laundries, or slab-on-ground homes.
Frequently asked questions
Does the quote include removing my old flooring?
Not always by default - old floor removal and disposal is often priced as a separate line item, so confirm whether it's included when comparing quotes.
Why does subfloor condition matter for the price?
New flooring needs a flat, stable surface to go down on - if your subfloor has damage, unevenness, or moisture issues, it needs to be prepared or repaired first, which adds to the overall cost.
Is vinyl or laminate cheaper?
They're broadly similar at the budget end, but vinyl tends to top out cheaper than laminate for higher-spec options and handles moisture better, making it a common choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
