Local laminate flooring experts
What is laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is a versatile and cost-effective alternative to traditional hardwood or stone flooring. It is engineered to replicate the look and feel of natural materials while providing enhanced durability and ease of maintenance. Laminate flooring consists of four primary layers:
- Wear Layer: The top layer is a transparent, protective overlay that guards against scratches, stains, and fading. This layer ensures the longevity of the flooring, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and homes with pets or children.
- Design Layer: Beneath the wear layer is a high-resolution photographic image that realistically mimics the appearance of wood, stone, or other natural materials. This layer provides aesthetic appeal, offering a wide range of styles, colours, and patterns to suit any décor.
- Core Layer: The core of laminate flooring is made from high-density fiberboard (HDF) or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). This layer provides stability and durability, making the flooring resistant to impacts and heavy loads. Some laminate floors also feature a water-resistant core, enhancing their suitability for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
- Backing Layer: The bottom layer is a moisture-resistant backing that helps to balance the board and prevent warping. This layer also provides additional stability and can include an integrated underlay for added comfort and sound reduction.
Benefits of Laminate Flooring
- Affordability: Laminate flooring is generally less expensive than hardwood, stone, or tile, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners, especially if you’re taking on a full kitchen renovation.
- Ease of Installation: Many laminate floors feature a click-lock system that allows for easy, DIY-friendly installation. This floating floor method does not require glue or nails, making the process faster and cleaner.
- Low Maintenance: Laminate floors are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping are usually sufficient to keep them looking their best.
- Durability: The wear layer protects against common forms of damage, such as scratches and stains, ensuring the floor remains attractive over time.
- Variety: With a vast array of designs, colours, and textures available, laminate flooring can complement any interior style, from modern to rustic.
Cost of laminate flooring work
The cost of laminate flooring installation can vary widely based on several factors, including the size of the area, the type of laminate chosen, and the complexity of the installation. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when budgeting for your laminate flooring project.
Factors Influencing the Cost
- Material Quality: Laminate flooring comes in various grades, ranging from basic to premium. Higher-quality laminates typically have more realistic designs, thicker wear layers, and enhanced durability features, which can increase the price per square metre.
- Area Size: The total cost will depend on the size of the space you intend to cover. Larger areas will naturally require more materials and more labour, which increases the overall cost.
- Preparation Work: Before installing laminate flooring, the subfloor may need to be prepared. This can include levelling, cleaning, and possibly removing old flooring. These preparatory steps can add to the overall cost.
- Installation Complexity: Rooms with irregular shapes, multiple corners, or obstacles such as pillars can increase the complexity of the installation, potentially raising labour costs. Additionally, certain patterns, such as diagonal or herringbone layouts, may require more time and expertise to install.
- Underlay and Accessories: An underlay is typically required to provide a moisture barrier, sound insulation, and added comfort. The type of underlay chosen can affect the overall cost. Other accessories, such as transition strips, skirting boards, and trim, can also add to the expense.
- Labour Costs: Labour rates can vary based on location and the experience of the installer. It’s important to get multiple quotes from local laminate floor installers to ensure you’re getting a fair price.
Average Cost Estimates
While prices can vary, here are some general estimates to help you plan your budget:
- Basic Laminate Flooring: £5 to £10 per square metre for materials, plus £10 to £20 per square metre for installation.
- Mid-Range Laminate Flooring: £10 to £20 per square metre for materials, plus £15 to £25 per square metre for installation.
- Premium Laminate Flooring: £20 to £35 per square metre for materials, plus £20 to £30 per square metre for installation.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
- Even Flooring: The floor should be level and smooth without any uneven areas.
- No Gaps or Cracks: There should be no visible gaps or cracks between the laminate planks.
- Cleaned Afterwards with Details of Care: The area should be cleaned thoroughly after installation, with instructions provided on how to care for your new floor.

Other laminate flooring FAQs
Does laminate need underlay?
Yes, underlay is necessary for laminate flooring as it provides a moisture barrier, reduces noise, and adds comfort underfoot. It also helps to level out minor subfloor imperfections.
What is a common problem with laminate flooring?
A common issue with laminate flooring is water damage. While laminate is moisture-resistant, it is not waterproof. Spills should be cleaned up promptly to avoid swelling or warping.
How long does laminate flooring last?
With proper care and maintenance, laminate flooring can last between 15 to 25 years. Its longevity depends on the quality of the product and the amount of traffic it endures.
