What would be the going rate per square meter (labour only), or overall cost in Brighton to install engineered flooring?
Bearing in mind the job would involve:
Removing existing pine floorboards
Putting down 18mm T&G (levelling out joists in some small areas)
Putting down 15mm triple layer acoustic rubber matting (compliance for document E building regs)
Putting down 6mm plywood
Finally putting down the 14mm engineered flooring
The apartment is a Victorian one, around 100 years old. There are 2 different areas that have the flooring: a large living room around 26sqm with a bay window, and a hallway that steps down about halfway along that is a total of 12sqm
The joists are good and solid in the living room, and the level is good. In the hallway there are some areas considerably lower than others and some picking up work required. Possibly around half of the hallway needed this work, so say around 6sqm.
I've already had this work carried out, by an old mate and he's been putting off giving me a price for it, I'd repeatedly wanted one prior to the work starting (as you'd expect), but as we were in a real rush to get started due to wife (impatient) and baby (newborn) we stupidly just ploughed ahead, as he's an old friend and trusted. Things didn't go quite as planned and it ended up taking a lot longer than is reasonable, and additionally, there are some areas where I feel like the joist work wasn't done properly and now there are areas that squeak and I can see that the floor levels are out. Bearing in mind I have no idea what he's going to try and charge me for this, I thought it would be useful to know roughly what the going rate would be for this kind of job (done properly).
NSC usually knows the answers! Cheers!
