How much approx. to install a laminate floor in a room of 180 ft X 120 ft. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Are you sure that you've got those measurements right?

This village hall is only 60 foot by 24 foot. Your room is apparently 3 times as long and 5 times as wide, meaning that it's 15 times the size of the village hall!

if your figures really are correct (which, to be honest, I strongly doubt!), the area is around 2000 square metres. Laminate flooring might cost around £10 per square metre, with fitting also costing around £10 per square metre, making £20 per square metre in total.

So with your (absolutely massive!) room having an area of around 2000 square metres, that comes to around £40,000!

Perhaps you need to get your tape measure out again?

with your measurements you have just over 2000 sq mtrs.
your price range could go from £180 (carpetright.....utter craap) to £900 (Karndean...utter brilliance) and a whole host of products and prices in between. I hope this helps.

I've got my decimal points wrong try £18000 to £90000 but I agree that's a massive area and are your measurement right.

Am not sure what your prices are janzman- not the total cost surely!

[bobbinwales]

Hi Buenchico - you are absolutely right, my measurement was incorrect. I am laughing at myself LOL now. The size is 180 inches X 120 inches (10 ft X 15 ft). Thank you.

15 square metres @£20 inc fitting is £300 put my guess for a small area and with wastage is nearer £500 but it also depends on the quality. could be double for good quality

I thought people continued to use Imperial measurements because they "understand" them?
Apparently not!

Hi Guys, sorry of my silly measurement. Looks like the room is approx. 14 square meters, from you guys comments. The cost should be approx.£280 yeah?

[Buenchico]

£280 would be my 'starting point' guideline figure but you always need to add in a bit for wastage (where bits have to be cut off the flooring, around the edges of the room, to get it to fit). So I reckon that £350 might be a better estimate but, as has been suggested by others, the price of laminating flooring can be much higher for a really top quality product and the rates charged by fitters can vary quite a bit too. My actual budget figure for such a project might therefore be closer to £400. Shop around for quotes!

My daughter needed her room chaging from caroet to decent laminate. About 13 sq m.
We went to a specialist local flooring shop and found what she wanted. Guy came round and priced it up. £1400! What?
I went online and found the exact same flooring and quality underlay for £270 and thats what it cost her.
Plus a day and a half of my uncharged time.
It easy to do. Just take off skirting boards lay and replace. Sorted. Saved her a mint!

^^all you need is the time, the tools, the patience...oh, and the knees!
