And naive to think it will cost less?

[NomsQualityStreets]

I've been thinking about having laminate flooring on our staircase and upstairs in our house. The old carpets are nearly 10yo and are looking rather worn now. I think it will be easier with LOs as well.

I don't know the first thing about fitting etc but I'll explain roughly what we need it to cover

• a master bedroom about 4mx4m
• a room about 2.5m X 3.5m
• a standard staircase
• hallway about 1m x 2m

The laminate I like is £10 psqm

DP thinks it's not worth it as the whole thing with fitting will be at least £2500 to me it seems like an overestimation but I'm really inexperienced in this sort of thing.

Anyone have a rough idea if he's right or how much I should expect it to cost?

If you get your hallway done it's totally worth paying a little bit extra to get an inset for mat (coir is nice). Not quite what you were asking but honestly it's one of my favourite things we've installed.

OK so let's take out the stairs.....
But I'm really just wanting to know if anyone has any idea what it might be price wise? Even just for the two rooms and hallway.

Are you having it fitted or laying it yourself? I put materials cost in my post if you are doing it yourself.

You need to know how many Sqm in a box for the laminate. You need to cover 26.75m2 . You will need to allow extra for fitting. So find out how much in each box and I can give you an idea. You will also need underlay and beading and new door bars. Fitting is approx £15 per m2 so you oh is probably not too far out with the cost.
