Flooring costs vary widely depending on the material, the size of the area and the complexity of the fit. This guide covers typical supply-and-fit prices across the most popular flooring types.
Laminate flooring
Laminate is one of the most popular budget-friendly options. Expect to pay £20–£40 per m² supply and fitted for a mid-range product, including underlay. A 20m² living room typically costs £400–£800 all in.
LVT and vinyl plank
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and click vinyl plank flooring cost around £25–£55 per m² fitted. Waterproof and highly durable, LVT is increasingly popular in kitchens and bathrooms.
Engineered wood
Engineered wood is more stable than solid wood and can be fitted over underfloor heating. Supply and fit costs run from £45–£90 per m², depending on the species and board width.
Carpet
Fitted carpet ranges from around £15–£50 per m² including underlay and gripper rods. Wool blends and premium wool carpets cost more but wear considerably better over time.
Solid and hardwood flooring
Solid hardwood is the premium option. Expect to pay £60–£120+ per m² supply and fitted. Oak, ash and walnut are the most popular species in the UK.
What affects the total price?
- Floor area — larger rooms cost more in total but less per m²
- Subfloor condition — levelling or replacing a damaged subfloor adds cost
- Existing floor removal — allow £2–£5 per m² for lifting old flooring
- Stairs — fitting carpet or LVT on stairs adds complexity and time
- Underfloor heating compatibility — not all products work with UFH
