    Just wondering what sort of pricing I should be expecting? I've got 4 quotes so far and they vary greatly.

    Depend on the area to be floored, is it one big room or different areas?

    I'd love to hear your quotes to be honest, there's a guy after getting quoted 6-700 to tile a 5m square floor on another thread.

    This isn't enough information to form an opinion.

    Is it one room, four straight walls and one doorway, no radiators, no skirting?

    Or is it four small rooms with curved fire mantles, 4 radiators, skirting already up and four doorways per room?

    Most important question, is the floor level?

    To be honest it's an easy enough job to do yourself. Couple of YouTube videos, don't skimp on the underlay, tools you'd need are a pencil, square and a saw. Jigsaw a bonus.

    I've done it loads of time with no experience, very enjoyable work as it's quick.

    Unless it's very complicated 46sqm should be done in a day so 200/300 quid tops. Again depending on location and how complicated the room is.

    One tip I'd suggest it taking off the skirting and replacing. Much nicer job and quicker as don't need to be as fussy around the perimeter. A 10mm gap is recommended for most floating laminate floors.

    Prob closer to 500, but hallway alone can be complicated to do right , if u have to cut under doorframes(usually 5 or 6 of them) and skirting to make the flloor look seamless.
