Planning, costs and process
If you are planning flooring installation, new flooring or a practical floor replacement, the useful question is not just the headline quote. The right result depends on the existing property, measurements, materials, Building Regulations, grants, trade sequencing, lead times and a clear scope of work. This guide helps you brief Flooring fitters, carpenters and decorators in Edinburgh and compare quotes for Flooring installation, new flooring and a well-run project.
Flooring installation depends on subfloor level, moisture, old coverings, underlay, thresholds, skirting, doors, underfloor heating and room use. The subfloor is often more important than the visible flooring.
Good Flooring fitters ask what is under the existing floor and how the room is used. Kitchens, bathrooms, rentals, stairs and open-plan spaces need different products.
Process
From idea to result without detours. We cut through unclear quotes and frustrating waiting around. With beeBAAHM you get full transparency, digital organisation, and direct access to local tradespeople who truly know their craft.
FAQ
Short answers about planning, quotes and local businesses for flooring installation in Edinburgh.
New flooring may be laminate, LVT, vinyl, carpet, engineered wood, solid wood, linoleum or floor levelling. Removing old flooring, screed repair and door trimming can be a major part of the work.
Quotes should include removal, disposal, subfloor prep, primer, levelling compound, underlay, adhesive, fitting method, trims, thresholds, skirting and door adjustments.
Laminate commonly costs around GBP 25 to GBP 60 per m2 installed, LVT around GBP 45 to GBP 100 per m2, and engineered wood around GBP 70 to GBP 150 per m2. Subfloor levelling, stairs and trims add cost.
The spread comes from material, subfloor preparation, removal, adhesive, underlay, room shape and finishing details. A low fitting price may exclude levelling and trims.
The process runs from measure and samples to moisture check, old floor removal, subfloor prep, acclimatisation, fitting, trims, cleanup and care advice. Many rooms take one to three days; larger homes take longer.
Some flooring must acclimatise in the property. Adhesives and levelling compounds also need drying time before furniture returns.
Laminate is cost-effective, LVT is practical, carpet is soft and quiet, engineered wood is premium, and linoleum is durable and lower impact. Each has different moisture and maintenance rules.
For rental or family homes, scratch resistance and easy replacement may matter more than premium texture. For open-plan rooms, acoustic performance and transitions are important.
Rooms need to be empty, dry and accessible. Flooring should follow messy trades and often happen after painting, depending on the finish.
Plan furniture moves and curing time. Heavy furniture too soon can mark new floors or affect adhesive.
Common mistakes are fitting over damp or uneven floors, ignoring expansion gaps, wrong underlay, poor threshold details and unsuitable flooring in wet areas.
Use checklists and the customer guide to compare subfloor work, not just material price. Ask why the recommended fitting method suits the room.
