Quick answer: A quote should identify the flooring product, area, preparation, fitting and finishing work, total price, payment terms and installation arrangements.
The product and the area
Check the flooring range, colour, finish and room measurements. If a laying pattern is important, make sure it is agreed.
Subfloor preparation
Ask whether the floor needs levelling, repair or other preparation. The correct work depends on the existing surface and the product being fitted.
Fitting and finishing
Discuss underlay where needed, transitions, door clearances, edging and access. Confirm what is included and what arrangements you need to make before fitting.
Payment and timing
Review the total price, deposit if required, installation arrangements and the applicable terms. If you apply for finance, check the provider’s offered rate, term and total cost separately.
