We've just had our first quote for redoing our ground floor in oak Herringbone, and are a bit taken aback.
Quote breakdown:
Oak floor; supply, install, sand and finish inc. 15% waste £8,745.00
Boarder £720.00
Skirting boards: remove, replace £1,200.00
Remove OG floor (incv £300 for skip) £732.00
Existing tiles disposal £270.00
levelling compound, supply and apply £1,472.00
^ all ex VAT obvs.
I know we can do some of that list ourselves and I asked them for the fullest quote, but it's still basically £12.5k for self leveling, wood, fitting and finishing.
Am I being unreasonable, is this just what ~53m² of floor costs?
That's roughly 250 per m²?
Yes, expensive, but quite doable to pay that amount for flooring without any prep I thought.
And oak herringbone isn't exactly a budget choice.
Price check pls...
