How much did it cost to be fitted

I have found it for less than £15 psqm - but have been quoted £30 psqm for fitting

Does anyone have a better tale?

my sil has it. fitting it is v. specialised. you don't just roll it out. its pricey but lasts an age. what colour are you going for?

I'm still working out if we can afford it

Do you know how much she paid for fitting?

Gorgeous - but if the fitting is that expensive then I can't afford it

I have it in my hall (with a compass pattern) and in my bathroom. I can't remember exactly how much it cost to have fitted but it did seem like a lot at the time. I have had it for five years now and still love it so IMO it was money well spent.

Would you have remembered if it cost more to fit than to buy?

I was only ever quoted a price which inclued fitting and I think we paid about £600 for our hall, which isn't massive but isn't tiny either. I don't think I could have afforded to have it in a larger room even though I would have loved to have it in the kitchen so I can understand your dilemma.

You see it's an eco-nursery so what things are made out of is important

But £9000 is a hell of a lot

Yes I can understand your reluctance to pay £9,000! It's so annoying when you find something that would be ideal and is just what you want but it's too expensive. I wonder if there's an eco-friendly cheaper equivalent?

its alot but you won't have to replace it - ever. unless the children are wearing hob nail boots and performing riverdance at constant intervals.

what about bamboo or rubber?

ooo Rubber? I could fancy that

Do you think it will go over underfloor heating?

OP posts:
pesme · 03/12/2006 20:12

don't see why not, have a google and see.

Yes it is compatable with underfloor heating - but I don't know how much it costs to lay yet

Damn, I hoped this was going to be a more positive thread! We've also just been quoted twice the materials price for laying marmoleum, and I can't face it. We're going to use cork instead, I think. Would that work for you?
