What a Floor Actually Costs to Put Down

The flooring is the predictable part. What moves a quote is the subfloor, the removal, the stairs and the trims — so this page explains what drives the number, and works out how much flooring your room needs.

The short version

Installation is priced per square metre with a minimum charge on small jobs, and every extra — subfloor prep, old-floor removal, stairs, trims — is quoted as its own line. Use the calculator below to work out how many boxes your room needs.

How many boxes will you need?

Enter the floor area, or the room’s length and width. The result adds a wastage allowance and rounds up to whole packs, because a pack is the unit of sale.

Enter a floor area to see how many packs each collection needs.

What actually moves the number

Two quotes for the same room can differ substantially, and it is almost never the flooring that explains the gap.

The flooring itself is the predictable part: area, plus wastage, at a rate per square metre. What varies is everything underneath and around it.

  1. Subfloor condition — grinding, levelling compound or moisture remediation can cost more than the flooring in an older house.
  2. Removing the existing floor, and disposing of it.
  3. Stairs, which are slow, skilled and priced separately from flat areas.
  4. Door trimming, thresholds and transition strips.
  5. Skirting and scotia, supplied and fitted.
  6. Furniture moving, and whether the site is clear when the installers arrive.
  7. Access — a third-floor apartment with no lift is not the same job as a ground-floor house.

How we quote

Installation is priced per square metre, and a minimum job charge may apply to smaller projects.

Every additional service is quoted as its own line rather than folded into the rate. That is deliberate: it lets you see what each part costs and decide what to take on yourself.

The final figure depends on the scope, the site conditions and any preparation the job needs, so it is confirmed as part of your quotation rather than published as a rate.
