Cost per sq yrd for laying laminate click flooring

m_stan

I have 80 sq yards of laminate click floor to lay. How much should I pay for installation only, including scotia ?

I've decided who's doing it and I can haggle. What is a reasonable price ?

the going rate is about €15 for semi solid and €20 for solid. Click flooring is easier than semi so I'd say somewhere just below that (€13-€15)

Quick step 950 is about 30 sq yd with the V-groove. for Des Kelly

I'd say 600 - 700
Two people should get it done in a day. (If you don't live in a maze)

Whats a scotia?

scotia (pron: "skoshia") is the is a small bead of wood that goes between your floor and your skirting boards if (like me) you couldn't be bothered taking off the skirting boards and running the floor underneath.

looks quite nice when done. even better than when you do it the hard way if you ask me.

Its looks like this

oh, and some of the angles in my house are a nightmare - I know, I helped lay a glue laminate floor (baaaad stuff) when we bought the place, so I guess that adds some cost since it adds time and complexity.

thanks for all the feedback

Is the quick step considered a standard of its own when it comes to click on laminated flooring? They seem to have a good choice in Des-Kelly Carpets.
If anyone has any experience with Quick-Step. could they please recommend, what would be the best cost-benefit option for upstairs in a new house (cca 50 square meters). We do not want to go for something extreme (expensive) or for something that will fall apart in 2-3 years. The Classic line of quick-step seems to be a reasonable option. They have it in 0.7 and 0.8 cm. Any difference in reality.
And finaly, Des-Kelly seem to have (contract, I presume) fitters? Are they any good. I've heard a few bad stories about them so just wondering.

Put down the Quick step 950 vgroove. with free installation by Des Kelly. Must say that the fitters were really good... and teh floor looks great.

Had 3 rooms to do cost 30Euro per sq yrd but free fitting. I think they may have that deal on again at the moment. Its def. not a cheap floor and in some cases you could prob get the real stuff for the same price.

Anywho they did the three floors in about 3 hrs without any mess

Couple of pics of the floor

Looks nice and that offer seems great. 30 € per sqy included instalation is definitively not too expensive. The 950 is the finest as far as I can see. Will have to see if the offer is still there.
