Flooring Installation & Floor Fitting Across Ireland
Engineered wood, laminate, LVT and tiled floors — levelled, moisture-tested and laid by one insured team, on their own or inside a wider renovation.
A floor is only as good as what's underneath it. We level, moisture-test and prepare every subfloor before fitting engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl tile or tiles — as a standalone job or as part of a wider renovation.
What's included
- Engineered wood & solid timber
- Laminate & luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
- Floor tiling (with our tiling team)
- Subfloor levelling & moisture testing
- Underlay & membrane systems
- Build-ups suitable for underfloor heating
- Old floor lifting & disposal
- Skirting, thresholds & trims
The subfloor decides the price, not the floor you choose
Two identical rooms with the same laminate can be quoted very differently, and the reason is always underneath. A floor laid over a subfloor that is not flat, not dry or not stable will telegraph every defect within a season — hollow-sounding boards, opening joints, cracked grout, lifting edges.
That is why the survey happens before the price rather than after it. What we find there is written into the scope, so you can see what you are paying for.
- Concrete and screed are moisture-tested before anything is laid over them — a new screed in particular needs drying time no adhesive can shortcut.
- Timber subfloors are checked for movement, squeaks and fixings, and overboarded where a floating floor would otherwise flex.
- Old adhesive, tile beds and levelling compound have to come off or be levelled over; that removal is real work and appears in the quote.
- Door clearances, thresholds to other rooms and the height of the new build-up are measured before ordering, not discovered on fitting day.
Engineered wood, laminate, LVT or tile
There is no single best floor, only the right one for the room, the subfloor and how the room is used. The honest trade-offs:
- Engineered wood — a real timber wear layer over a stable core. It looks like solid wood, copes with underfloor heating better than solid, and can usually be sanded back once or twice in its life.
- Laminate — the lowest cost per m² and very scratch-resistant, but it cannot be refinished and standard boards do not belong in bathrooms or wet areas.
- Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) — waterproof, quiet and warm underfoot, which is why it suits kitchens, utility rooms and family hallways. It is unforgiving of an uneven subfloor, so the levelling has to be right.
- Porcelain or ceramic tile — the hardest-wearing option and the best partner for underfloor heating. Slip rating matters for kitchens, hallways and anywhere that gets wet, and it is laid by our tiling team.
Flooring over underfloor heating
Underfloor heating changes the specification rather than ruling any floor out. The product has to be rated for it, the total thermal resistance of floor plus underlay has to stay inside the system's limit, and the heating is commissioned and cycled before a timber or laminate floor goes down so the subfloor is at its working moisture content.
Tile and LVT pass heat most efficiently; thick underlay and deep timber boards insulate the room from the system you paid for. Tell us at enquiry stage if there is underfloor heating and the build-up is specified around it.
Where flooring sits in a renovation
On a room that is being renovated, the floor is one of the last things in and one of the easiest to damage. Wet trades, plastering and drying come first, then the first coat of paint, then the floor, then skirting and the final coat over the top.
Running the flooring as part of the wider job keeps that order intact and keeps one team responsible for the levels where a new kitchen, a tiled bathroom and a timber hallway all meet.
Price and scope
This service is measured before it is priced, so the figure you get is for the actual work.
How this service is priced
Quote after survey
Send the room details and Eircode. The final price is set out in a written quote after the scope, preparation, materials and access are assessed.
Read the independent planning cost guide →Our process
Enquiry & measure
Send the room sizes, what is on the floor now and your Eircode. Photographs of the existing floor and the doorways save a visit at this stage.
Subfloor survey & moisture test
Levels, moisture in concrete or screed, movement in timber and the state of any existing covering are checked. This is what decides the preparation, and the preparation is what moves the price.
Material & underlay selection
Engineered wood, laminate, LVT or tile chosen against the room's use, the subfloor and any underfloor heating — with the matching underlay, membrane or adhesive system.
Lift-out & preparation
The old floor is lifted and taken away, then the subfloor is levelled, primed, boarded or membraned as the survey required.
Acclimatisation & laying
Timber and laminate acclimatise in the room before laying. The floor is set out for the best board direction and cuts, with expansion gaps kept at every perimeter and threshold.
Trims, skirting & handover
Thresholds, beading or refitted skirting, doors eased where the new build-up needs it, clean-down and the care and cleaning instructions for the product laid.

Reviews mentioning flooring installation
Customer message“Just had my kitchen splashback and floor tiling done by WEPRO Renovations in Tralee. Quick, tidy, and fairly priced. The lads were on time, and the finish is perfect. Highly recommend.”
“WEPRO did my kitchen floor and splashback in Limerick. Super quick and tidy. Love the finish, it looks class. I would use them again for sure. Five stars. 😊”
Customer message“WEPRO did our kitchen floor and splashback in Dublin. Quick, clean and a fair price. The crew were friendly and the finish is mint. We would use them again for sure.”
Frequently asked questions
Flooring is measured and quoted after survey, because the preparation under the floor varies far more than the covering laid on top of it. Tiled floors are priced from €34/m² for the tiling itself. The advertised ‘from’ price is the minimum for a small, straightforward scope. It is not a typical price for a full renovation. The final written quote depends on measurements, preparation, materials, access and the agreed specification.
Engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl tile, timber and tiled floors can be described in the form. Product and substrate suitability are confirmed after inspection.
Yes, and it is usually what decides the price. Levels, moisture in concrete or screed, movement in timber and the existing construction determine the required preparation, underlay or membrane. A new screed also has to dry before anything is laid over it.
Sometimes. It depends on what is down, whether it is sound and flat, and how much height the new build-up adds at doorways, thresholds and any stair nosing. Where the existing floor is loose, damp or uneven it is lifted instead, and that removal and disposal is priced in the scope.
Yes, with a product rated for it and a build-up whose total thermal resistance stays inside the heating system's limit. Tile and LVT transfer heat most efficiently; thick underlay and deep boards insulate the room from the system. Timber and laminate are laid after the heating has been commissioned and cycled, so the subfloor is at its working moisture content.
The laying itself is usually the short part. What sets the programme is preparation and drying — levelling compound, screed repairs and adhesives all need their own curing time, and timber and laminate acclimatise in the room first. The sequence and dates are confirmed in the written scope.
Include it in the overall scope so preparation, wet trades, installation and decoration can be sequenced in the proposal. Flooring goes in after plastering and drying and before skirting and the final coat of paint, which is the order that keeps the finish intact.
