Flooring and tiling: every service

Carpet fittingFitting carpet and underlay in rooms, on stairs and landings: gripper rods round the edges, underlay laid and taped, carpet stretched, seamed and trimmed, and threshold strips at the doors.
Floor sanding and sealingBringing an existing timber floor back to bare wood with drum and edge sanders, repairing and filling it, then finishing it in lacquer, oil or hard-wax oil.
Laminate and vinylFitting click laminate, luxury vinyl tiles or planks (LVT) and sheet vinyl, with the levelling, underlay and trims they need.
Screeding and levellingLaying a sand-cement or flowing (anhydrite) screed over insulation or underfloor heating pipes, or a self-levelling compound over an existing floor, so the finished floor goes down flat.
Wall and floor tilingTiling bathroom, en-suite and kitchen walls and floors in ceramic, porcelain or natural stone, including the preparation and waterproofing behind it.
Wood and engineered flooringLaying solid or engineered wood flooring — floating on underlay, glued down or secret-nailed to joists or battens — with the moisture checks, acclimatising, expansion gaps and trims that decide whether it stays flat.

Hiring a floor fitter in Ireland

Flooring and tiling are only as good as the surface underneath. Levelling, moisture checks and preparation take a large share of the time, especially with large-format tiles, wood over underfloor heating, or new screed that has to dry.

Wet rooms and showers need tanking under the tiles. Ask how the fitter waterproofs before they tile.

What floor fitters and tilers cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

Area, and the number of doorways and cuts
Subfloor preparation: levelling, moisture, removing the old floor
Material and format: large or very small tiles, herringbone layouts
Underfloor heating compatibility
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

How long it usually takes

Laminate or carpet in a room: a few hours to a day.
A bathroom tiled: two to five days.
Screed: laid in a day; drying takes weeks before a floor goes down.

What to ask before you choose

What preparation is included, and what if the subfloor needs levelling?
How will you waterproof the wet areas?
Who removes the old floor and the waste?
Is VAT included?
