cleaning easier. Installers can level subfloors, lay boards neatly and finish trims so the new
floor ties in with skirting and doors. Post your job on The Quote Yard to compare quotes for

Timber and Laminate Flooring FAQs
What is the difference between timber, laminate and hybrid flooring?
Timber uses real wood boards, laminate has a printed surface over a core and hybrid combines
features of both in a water resistant board. Each option has its own feel, look and price range.
Your installer can explain which products suit your rooms and lifestyle without heavy sales talk.
Can new flooring go over existing tiles or timber?
In some homes, new boards can be laid over existing surfaces if levels and movement are suitable.
In other cases removal or levelling is better. Photos and a site visit allow tradies to check
what is realistic and safe rather than guessing from a short description only.
How long does flooring installation take?
Smaller rooms can sometimes be done in a day, while whole homes or jobs needing repairs and
levelling take longer. When you post your job, include rough room sizes and any time limits so
tradies can give realistic time frames in their quotes.
Will doors and skirting need changes?
New floor heights can affect clearances at doors and trims. Some jobs need doors trimmed or
skirtings adjusted. Ask tradies to note in the quote whether door and trim work is included or
allowed for as a separate line.
