There are as always lots of variables! You can have loose fitted vinyl flooring on a roll. This is much easier than glued down. The glue down type I have used is the thicker type used in hospitals etc. This is heavy and stiffer so handling it is tricky, especially as the adhesive is very sticky and you can't paint the whole floor with adhesive before rolling it out. Would be easier with 2 people I guess. It's very durable though.
If you just have a loose fit the challenge is cutting the edges, not too difficult to do but depending on how neat a finish you need to satisfy any ocd it may not be easy enough. If you've just had a floor poured maybe you have no skirting yet. In which case, loose fitted with skirting on top is easy to cut.

Thanks this is really helpful, I hadn't considered tiles.
I was thinking to get a 4x5m roll, and just gap fill with off cuts in the chimney breast as shelves will be going in there, so it wouldn't be seen. One issue I had forseen was that I may not be able to get a 4x5 roll through the house.
R.e. floor, I have had builders in to remove the existing screed and hardcore, and lay a new membrane, insulation and fresh screed so the levels are bang on - although it's still going off so haven't 100% confirmed this but we did discuss what was going on top.
