Understanding Your Flooring Quote: What's Included

Learn to read a flooring quote line by line so you can compare fairly and avoid surprises.

Two quotes for "the same" floor can differ by thousands — usually because they include different things. Here's how to compare like for like.

What a complete quote covers

  • Product, grade, and quantity (including wastage allowance)
  • Subfloor preparation and levelling
  • Underlay, adhesives, and accessories
  • Removal and disposal of old flooring
  • Trims, transitions, and skirting where relevant

Red flags

Be wary of quotes that omit prep, exclude disposal, or leave 'to be confirmed' items. Those gaps often reappear as variations mid-job.
