💡 How Much Does Wood Flooring Cost in the North East?

A Complete Guide to Budgeting for Laminate, LVT & Engineered Oak Flooring

When planning your new flooring, it helps to have a realistic idea of how much to budget. Prices can vary based on the material you choose and the complexity of the job, but here’s a helpful guide to average installation-only and supply + installation costs across the North East of England.

🪵 Average Flooring Costs (North East England)

The table above provides an overview of the average flooring costs in the North East of England, helping homeowners budget for their next project. On average, laminate flooring ranges from £15–£25 per m² for installation only or £25–£45 per m² including supply and installation. Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) typically costs £20–£35 per m² to install or £45–£70 per m² for supply and installation, while engineered oak flooring—a premium, long-lasting option—averages £35–£60 per m² for fitting only or £80–£130 per m² supplied and fitted. Prices vary depending on factors like room size, subfloor condition, and fitting complexity.

Note: These prices are averages based on current market rates. Every job has its own level of complexity—subfloor preparation, room shape, furniture removal, or intricate patterns (like herringbone or chevron) can all influence the total cost.

⚒️ Why Installation Costs Are So Important

Many people are surprised to learn that installation often costs almost as much as the flooring itself—and for good reason. A professional fitter ensures the floor is laid perfectly flat, correctly acclimatised, and properly finished, preventing costly issues later on.

Choosing a skilled installer means your floor will not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. Poorly fitted flooring can expand, gap, or squeak, shortening its lifespan and reducing your home’s value.

🏡 Flooring as a Smart Investment

High-quality wood flooring is more than just a design choice—it’s a smart investment.

A professionally installed floor can add up to 5% to your property’s value, while also enhancing kerb appeal and helping your home sell faster.

Engineered oak flooring, in particular, offers timeless beauty and durability that can last for decades with the right care. Even laminate and LVT options, when expertly fitted, elevate your home’s feel and functionality.

💬 Key Things to Budget For

When planning your flooring project, remember to account for:
