Floor laying costs

[RayG]

How much should I be paying to have a solid wood floor layed excluding materials.
The concrete (no damp) floor measures 14sqm, carpet and furniture already moved.
I have been quoted £25.00 per sq m, this seems excessive(perhaps he's a barrister)
Am I wrong?

A barrister is a professional, not?

A professional floor fitter is a professional too. Ask for testimonials on his prior work to hear from former clients if he's a professional worthy of a professional fee.

that is excessive.
i am a professional floor layer with ten years experience and charge £18/m2 in london!
£25!! might have to move to where you live
