I don’t want to sound like a prick so apologise up front.
To give you some idea ours was laid over 2 weeks. That was approx 90m2. 1 week of preparing and 1 week of laying. They put a high temp screed in the kitchen over a concrete slab / screed and that was then sanded flat and filled / sanded till perfectly flat then they laid. In the rest of the house nailed ply to the floor boards then screed, again they sanded re screed and sanded re screed until totally flat again. 4 people. 90m2 preparing then laying. 12 m warranty on defects of fitting and lifetime warranty on product defects.

Tbh that’s the work I expected - we were told 5 days work for one bloke for about 9m2 - maybe longer if the screed needed a longer drying time. He was out of there after 3!
Your floor looks good though and I get the benefit of LVT over wood or something cheaper if you’re having it patterned and bordered . I’m just annoyed that what we’ve got was vastly expensive, looks cheap and is probably going to have to be ripped out and redone!
We have just had LVT (partially) fitted in our utility room but the contractors have fucked up and not screeded properly - there are various lumps and dips and tile corners are lifting already. I had nothing to do with the flooring selection or contracting (present from in-laws, who are now furious at the fuckup). At the risk of sounding like an ungrateful oik, I cannot see the point of LVT (at least in the large square tiles pattern we have) @ £50/m2, over a big roll of Lino @ £5/m2. What am I missing? They’re hard, scribed edges look shite, alignment needs to be sub-mm perfect, subfloor needs to be perfect and you don’t even end up with a watertight surface... oh and it just looks like cheap Lino anyway!
