Wood and engineered flooring: what the job involves
Laying 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. Engineered board is the usual choice over concrete and underfloor heating.
How long it takes: Usually one to three days for most rooms, after the boards have acclimatised; longer for herringbone, glue-down work or many doorways.

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 fitting method: floating, glued or nailed
- Subfloor preparation and moisture control
- Board format: wide planks, herringbone or chevron
- Doorways, stairs and thresholds
- Underfloor heating, which limits the products and methods
- Lifting the old floor
- 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.

County Sligo in figures
Construction as a whole. The CSO does not publish enterprise counts per trade at county level, so this figure is not a count of any one trade.
