Flooring cost ball park estimates

Costs associated with different types of carpet and tiles vary considerably, but for the estimates below we have used average quality materials. If you are redecorating an older house it may be worth checking out the floorboards underneath old carpets, as sanding and polishing native floorboards can be relatively inexpensive while adding character. Floorboards can be cold in winter, but insulation underfloor helps a great deal - see 'home heating and insulation'.
