How much does a new wood floor cost?

Talking about laying through the entire ground floor of a smallish 30s terrace - hall area, small lounge and open kitchen diner.

Has anyone had something similar done in recent months? How much did it cost?

Getting some quotes in after Xmas and I'm just interested to have a general sense of where they might land...

We had am engineered oak floor laid 10 years ago in what sounds like a similar sized area. It cost £2500 plus fitting (think that was about £800) but it's going to depend totally on the cost of the wood. You can pay anything from £40 psm upward.

for ours the fitting was as much as the cost of the flooring itself so take that into account.

Ok I know 20 years ago but that sounds good. I'm half expecting £10k or more. He quotes we've had in for all kinds of work lately (fixer upper) is utterly astonishing

Our oak engineered floor we were quoted €11,500 just for the fitting! This was Jan/ feb time this year.
We bought some tools and fitted it ourselves. 130m2 worth plus staircase

15 years ago was 3k for two rooms , solid oak.

YukoandHiro · 15/12/2022 20:53

£11k for the FITTING?! How big was the space?!

We are defo not able to fit ourselves, it needs insulation underneath as the cold is party of the problem

Last christmas had an engineered oak floor fitted in our small lounge - approx 25 sq m - which cost about £1500. We live in Manchester.

@YukoandHiro -130m2
Ours also. We had to re level floor in kitchen with screed first and take out old stair nosing. Flooring and underlay was around €4.5k I think, plus €1k for bespoke stair nosing pieces , so the fitting at €11.5 was stupidly high.
Took a while as dh had to tag team watching baby at same time.

It was whole house though. So it should be cheaper if your just doing downstairs

Caspianberg · 15/12/2022 21:04

I mean dh and I tagged teamed watching baby and cutting floor, not just dh alone with baby…

Do you have a friend or friend of a friend who could help?

Oh ok for the whole house makes more sense - still expensive but that's a bigger job
