Question

Doing two bedrooms and the landing. Which works out cheaper once you add fitting and underlay

Carter · Answer

Carpet is less than half the fitting price of laminate for example we charge £5.50 per sqm for carpet and £14.50 for laminate, herringbone laminate is £25 per sqm

Andrew · Answer

Laminate is always the cheaper option. However, in a bedroom, it is always advised to use carpet above laminate or even wooden flooring.

Curtis · Answer

Carpet would be cheaper to buy and fit. It will also depend what you have in the rooms at the moment

Craig · Answer

Laminate fitting costs are higher than the fitting cost of carpet, simply as it takes longer to fit.

Joe · Answer

Carpet works out. Cheaper  due to having to have level the floors which would take prep work for the laminate to be installed

Craig · Answer

Carpet is generally cheaper  between £6 & £8 per sqm fitting. Laminate is normally between £12 & £20 per sqm fitting. You need underlay for laminate aswell although it is cheaper than carpet underlay.

Carpet is cheaper but carpet is not good for health

Frank · Answer

£4 m2 carpet
£7 laminate
Thats the price I charge there's also  a minimum fit

Graham · Answer

Really depends on the price of the flooring and the underlay. Laminate takes longer so cost more per sqm to fit. Carpet is much quicker to fit so cost less per sqm but as a total job, the price all depends on the price of what you are buying.
