Things to consider before you book

The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a flooring specialist.

Very High Termite Risk

  • Termite Risk — Timber

    Termite activity is very high in most of Queensland. All timber — cabinetry, joinery, framing, flooring — should be termite-treated or a naturally resistant species. Annual inspections are essential.

What's in a good Flooring quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each flooring specialist's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.

  • 01
    Subfloor prep

    Levelling, moisture barriers and repairs, with dollar amounts.

  • 02

Frequently asked questions

Hiring flooring specialists

How much do flooring specialists typically charge?
Costs for flooring work typically vary widely depending on the type of job, the total area, material quality and the condition of the subfloor. Simple repairs or small installs are generally less than full removals, levelling or sand-and-polish jobs. The page shows live local pricing to help you compare quotes.
Do flooring specialists charge call-out fees?
Many flooring specialists charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the work, with separate charges for hourly labour and materials. After-hours or emergency attendance often attracts higher rates. It's a good idea to confirm any call-out and after-hours charges when requesting quotes.
When do flooring specialists need a licence?
Requirements vary by state and the scope of work; some floor finishing and covering work requires registration or a building licence. For example, Victoria lists Domestic Builder (Floor Finishing and Covering) registration on the BPC register, and Queensland uses QBCC Floor Finishing and Covering (Hard Sector) licences. Check the relevant state building regulator or licensing register for your area.
Is it cheaper to hire a Flooring Specialist or do it yourself in Queensland?
DIY can cut upfront costs on smaller jobs, but a professional brings the right tools, finish, and turnaround. Compare quotes from local flooring specialists in Queensland to see what the job is worth before you decide.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
