    Is that laying only?

    What about supply of materials and sundries, cutting and waste around edges, skirting boards and cover slips, varnishing .....

    I have all the materials, basically this is just to lay it and do the skirts. Thought it was a bit expensive myself?. Room is 17 x 15, around €400 for that??.

    Sounds like a lot to me. B&Q do a DVD for a couple of euro on how to lay laminate and solid flooring. Worth watching I'd say even if getting someone in to do it, but after watching it you may be tempted to have a go yourself :) I haven't done solid wood flooring, but laminate is easy peasy.
