Carpet/Flooring

Any cheap and cheerful recommendations for flooring? Our attic conversion has turned out to be far bigger than we expect and budget is now very tight for the flooring as a result!

Laminate is usually the cheapest,B & Q Liffey valley always have something to clear.

Can recommend https://www.flooringsuperstore.com

You can order samples to help decide what you want. Saved a fortune carpeting 3 rooms. However the quality isn't the best as i was on a tight budget, but looks very good in fairness.

I've just put flooring down in my house. Carpet worked out cheaper than laminate. Got 3 bedrooms and landing in house fitted with underlay for €1000. You could pick a cheaper carpet though if it's just for an attic space not going to be used very often. Laminate downstairs cost a little more than that for materials (incl underlay and beading). If you laid it yourself you could save on that cost which I had to add on. Again you could go for a cheap laminate to save money

Would you mind PM’ing me where you went? We’ve been quoted over 1000 for carpeting one room (albeit big)....

We got really cheap laminate (and I mean cheap in price) in b and q. We'd a huge area to cover and couldn't believe our luck at what b and q was clearing. 7eur a box and it really looks the part has worn well is in a high traffic area. I'd recommend taking a look there. We saved a fortune think it came to 240eur in total. We'd a few boxes left over gave them to the neighbour for his attic. He said it was perfect for the attic

Get that lately bud?

corks finest · 31-05-2019 8:59am

As in last 6 months?

ImARebel · 31-05-2019 9:06am

it was about 6 months ago alright. But I was in there only lately (Naas) and they were selling off other batches of wood, if it's only for an attic I would be surprised if you don't find something suitable. I think they seem to do it pretty regularly. Worth a look

i wanted it for kitchen diner so it needed to look some bit respectable and not clash with the kitchen

if it was the attic I'd have gone even cheaper again, lol

Could you PM me the details of the carpet supplier too please. Thanks v much

ruaneg · 15-08-2019 11:13am

Would also appreciate the details too

franco25 · 24-08-2019 8:40am

Hi if you could pm the details aswell that would be great,looking for some similar.

woodyman · 24-08-2019 9:37am

They have a sale on off cut carpet in Des Kelly. I saw some in the long Mile Road two days ago. Looked to be a lot of big sizes. Maybe not enough for an attic but probably alright for some bedrooms.

Anyone have an idea of what it cost to fit a carpet once you bought it? Room is only 11 square meters

Chr15 · 01-09-2019 5:09pm

Sorry, have just seen requests for PMs for carpet. Have sent them now

Any quotes I got for carpets included fitting

Muahahaha · 08-09-2019 11:56am

On carpets the store Carpet Right always seems to have 'Managers Specials' and end of line stuff on display down at the back of the store. Not sure of the quality but they are usually about 40-50% off.

Just on wooden flooring I used this company https://www.wood2u.co.uk/ late last year. Ordered 45sqm of KronoSwiss AC5 walnut laminate from their Grand Selection range. Even with a delivery charge of £100 from the UK it still came in at just under 950 euro. Had a quote from Noyeks for the exact same product and it came to 1,465 euro. So pretty big savings to be had if you're willing to shop around in the UK and provided they ship here.

Found wood2u very good to deal with, two boxes and contents on the pallet were damaged in transit and they sent out 2 boxes to replace them within 4 days.
