WHAT should it cost

[Zally]

Laminate flooring 12ft by 9ft and 12ft by 10ft two separate rooms my girlfriend's mate needs it done by wed what should I charge

 

[big-all]

your hourly rate plus materials

is this a house or flat ??
laminate is not allowed in some situations via lease or tenancy due to noise

 

[banjodeano]

if it was a girlfriends mate, i would do her a very decent price

 

[Zally]

WHAT do you suggest I charge for both rooms

 

[big-all]

so many relevant points
are your floor laying skills diy or trade ??
how many floors have you laid??
do you have the relevant tools??

 

[Zally]

DIY But trade standard I've done a few project's got all tools needed

You should be able to lay both rooms in a day, and then half a day for the mouldings to cover the gap, so what do you want for a day and a halfs wages. And if you manage to do it quicker, then give them a rebate, and if it takes longer, then swallow it.

Make sure you've got good knee pads.

diy to trade standard tends to meant 2 to 2.5 times as long to do the job but to the standard
or 1.5-2 times as long but not quite as good but think its as good

I'd do it for a blowy as long as she doesn't tell your missus.

[Doggit]

So. Unless it goes further, you'd be none the wiser.

 

[Ian H]

Just keep your eyes shut!!

 

[Doggit]

Do you speak from experience by any chance Ian. Or is that just good general advice for both the sexes.

 

[Ian H]

I don't think I have experience of this, but you never know, I'm a lights out kind of a guy.
