Laminate flooring and skirting boards in the bathroom and upstairs landing.
Transforming Your Home with Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is a practical and stylish choice for modern homes. Its durability and resistance to moisture make it especially suitable for spaces like bathrooms and upstairs landings. This project on Stoops Lane, Doncaster, involves the professional fitting of laminate flooring and skirting boards, enhancing the look and functionality of the property.
Preparation for Installation
A successful installation begins with thorough preparation:
- Subfloor Inspection: Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and dry to prevent future issues.
- Acclimatisation: Allow the laminate flooring to acclimatise in the room for 48 hours to adjust to the environment.
- Removal of Old Flooring: If not already done, any existing flooring will need to be removed.
Fitting Process
The fitting process for laminate flooring and skirting boards includes:
- Underlay Installation: A high-quality underlay is laid to provide cushioning and soundproofing.
- Laminate Installation: The laminate boards are fitted using a click-lock system, ensuring a seamless finish.
- Skirting Board Fitting: Skirting boards are measured, cut, and installed to cover the gaps between the walls and flooring.
- Finishing Touches: Edges and corners are sealed to prevent water ingress, particularly in the bathroom.
Materials and Costs
Laminate flooring costs typically range from £10 to £30 per square metre, depending on the quality and design. For a bathroom and landing, the total cost for materials might range from £150 to £400. Professional fitting costs are around £15 to £25 per square metre, with the addition of £5 to £10 per metre for skirting board installation. Overall, the project might cost between £400 and £700, depending on the size and complexity.
