Laying Carpets

Both the home and commercial industries employ carpet fitters and floor layers. In stores, offices, hotels, bars, schools, and hospitals, the actual task might range from installing carpets, sheet, or vinyl tiles, to putting laminate or solid wood floors, or safety flooring. Before installation, fitters will measure the floor space and estimate the quantity of material needed before clearing the work area, removing old flooring, cleaning, levelling, and sealing the bare floor if necessary, gluing or nailing the carpet or tiles into place, replacing furniture, and trimming and rehanging any doors. When working in a commercial building, they will also communicate with the general contractor and other trades on the job.

Linoleum and Laminate Flooring

Linoleum and laminate are two common flooring options that are both reasonably priced. Laminate flooring, which is offered in planks or boards that mimic wood flooring, is manufactured from a resinous composite foundation, and coated with a clear protective covering. Linoleum is a type of flooring produced from linseed oil, sawdust, and other natural materials that is moulded into tiles or sheets that resembles vinyl flooring. 

Although linoleum is significantly thinner than laminate, both may be placed over wood or concrete subfloors. Linoleum is used in kitchens, baths, hallways, and basements because it is essentially waterproof. Laminate, on the other hand, is vulnerable to moisture damage and is not suggested for use in damp locations. Linoleum is often less expensive and is manufactured from all-natural, renewable resources, making it a greener option. Because of its similarity to genuine wood, laminate is frequently selected, although it is more prone to dents and scratches than linoleum.

Rubber Flooring

Rubber flooring is durable and flexible, with a number of practical advantages, notably in terms of high-traffic pathway endurance. Rubber flooring provides long-term durability, noise absorption, and comfort. Rubber is a low-cost floor covering that is highly hard-wearing, gives excellent underfoot comfort, is sanitary, and absorbs sound well. As a result, it is widely used in sports halls, leisure centres, schools, libraries, workplaces, and retail outlets.

Fitting Flooring- How much does it cost?

Depending on the flooring you are looking to have fitted, the cost of materials and labour can vary greatly. One of the cheapest flooring options is carpets which can cost roughly between £3 to £6 per square metre of material. Fitting to awkward shapes or spaces can raise the price due to the increased difficulty when fitting. For laminate flooring, you can find great bargains for less than £5 per square metre with fitting costs per m2 ranging between £8 to £12. Rubber flooring can cost slightly more as most rubber flooring materials start from around £10 per square metre. The great thing about rubber flooring is that as it is relatively quick and easy to install, it can actually cost less to have it fitted than buying the material. Linoleum flooring can be the most expensive flooring option as prices can range from £5 to £20 per square metre. Unlike rubber flooring, linoleum is harder to fit so labour costs for a professional floor fitter can range anywhere from £15 to £30 per square metre.
