vs UK average
A flooring fitter working in North West typically charges £190–£320 a day (£24–£40 an hour), ex VAT — 6% below the UK average of £270 a day. Manchester and Liverpool regeneration keeps demand steady, and rates in the cities now run noticeably ahead of the wider region — quote city-centre work accordingly.
Straight-lay laminate and LVT are quoted per square metre, but pattern work changes the maths entirely — herringbone can halve daily coverage. Good fitters inspect the subfloor before quoting anything.
