Kitchen Flooring
Kitchen flooring needs to withstand heavy foot traffic, dropped items, water spills and the heat and humidity of a cooking environment. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT), ceramic tile and engineered wood are the most popular choices — each offering different aesthetics, durability and ease of maintenance.
Subfloor preparation is critical for kitchen flooring success — an uneven or springy subfloor causes tiles to crack and LVT to lift at the edges. A good fitter will assess and prepare your subfloor before any flooring is laid.
What affects the cost of Kitchen Flooring?
Prices vary between professionals depending on several factors. Getting 3 quotes gives you a clear picture of the market rate for your specific job.
- Kitchen size — more units, worktops, and appliances means more fitting time and materials.
- Materials and finish — solid wood or handleless cabinets cost significantly more than standard flat-pack.
- Plumbing and electrics — moving the sink, adding an island, or rewiring adds specialist costs.
- Appliances — whether appliances are supplied and installed as part of the quote affects the total.
- Existing condition — stripping out a solid old kitchen or dealing with hidden issues adds labour time.

Tips for a better quote
A clear brief leads to more accurate quotes and fewer surprises on the day. Here’s how to prepare:

- Note access requirements — parking restrictions, working hours, or key-holding arrangements.
- Clarify materials — confirm whether you expect the professional to supply materials or labour only.
- Ask about a guarantee — many professionals offer a workmanship guarantee; it is worth asking upfront.
