Planning new flooring is exciting — but knowing what to expect in terms of cost can make your decision easier and less stressful. At GT Floors, we help homeowners across London and the surrounding areas find the perfect flooring solution that fits their style and budget.
In this guide, we break down the typical costs for popular flooring types in 2025 and what influences the price.

Cost Breakdown by Flooring Type

  • Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT):
              Typically between £25 – £50 per square metre, including fitting. LVT is affordable, waterproof, and low-maintenance, making it great value for busy homes.
  • Laminate Flooring:
              Usually £15 – £35 per square metre with installation. Laminate is budget-friendly, durable, and easy to install — perfect for stylish floors on a budget.
  • Engineered Wood Flooring:
              Prices range from £40 – £70 per square metre fitted. This option combines real wood beauty with extra stability, ideal for modern homes.
  • Solid Wood Flooring:
              From £60 upwards per square metre including fitting. Real wood floors are a premium choice that add value and timeless style but come with a higher price tag.
  • Carpet:
              Between £10 – £40 per square metre fitted depending on the quality and type of carpet.

Factors Affecting Flooring Costs

  • Room size and layout: More complex rooms with angles or stairs take longer and cost more.
  • Preparation work: If your subfloor needs fixing or leveling, that adds to the price.
  • Underlay and accessories: Good quality underlay improves comfort and durability but adds cost.
  • Labour: Professional fitting guarantees the best results but varies by region and company.
