Average cost for a flooring installer (average)
The costs of a floor installer mainly depend on the type of floor you want to have installed. Laminate is the cheapest with installation costs of 15 to 30 euros per m2. PVC and vinyl cost 20 to 45 euros per m2. Parquet is more expensive at 35 to 80 euros per m2 due to the higher material quality and craftsmanship required. A cast floor is the most expensive at 50 to 120 euros per m2 all-in.
Laminate is popular because of its low price and quick installation. PVC floors are waterproof and therefore suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. Parquet gives a warm, luxurious appearance and will last for decades if properly maintained. Cast floors offer a seamless, modern appearance and are ideal in combination with underfloor heating. Tile floors are wear-resistant and easy to maintain, with installation costs ranging from 35 to 70 euros per m2.
A professional floor installer ensures a sleek end result without hollow spots, seams or cracks. For new construction, renovation or replacement of a worn floor, a floor layer is the right choice. Craftsmanship is essential, especially with tiles, parquet and cast floors. You can install laminate and click PVC yourself, but a professional is faster and guarantees the result.

Laminate is the cheapest to install, while parquet and cast floors are at the top end in terms of price. The choice of material has the greatest influence on the total price.
Larger surfaces are cheaper per m2 because the fixed costs (transport, start-up) are spread over more meters.
If the existing floor is uneven, it must first be leveled. Leveling costs an additional 10 to 25 euros per m2.
Diagonal laying, herringbone pattern or many corners and indentations require more labor time and cause more cutting loss.
The installation costs vary per floor type: laminate 15-30 euros per m2, PVC 20-45 euros per m2, parquet 35-80 euros per m2 and tiles 35-70 euros per m2. These prices do not include the material itself.
If the existing floor deviates more than 3 mm per meter, leveling is necessary. This prevents hollow spots, creaking laminate or cracks in tiles. Leveling costs 10 to 25 euros per m2.
Laying laminate and PVC is the fastest: a living room of 30 m2 can be finished in half to a full day. Parquet and tiles take more time, count on 1 to 3 days. A cast floor requires 1 day for application plus 3 to 5 days of drying time.
Tiles and cast floors conduct heat best and are ideal for underfloor heating. PVC and thin laminate are also suitable. Thick solid parquet is less suitable because wood does not transmit heat well.
