How Much Does Flooring Cost in Perth?
Honest, up-to-date price guides for timber, vinyl plank, hybrid, laminate, and staircase flooring — supply and install — across Perth and Joondalup.
What You'll Actually Pay for New Flooring in Perth
Flooring prices in Perth vary widely depending on the product, the size of the area, subfloor condition, and whether stairs are involved. This guide gives you realistic installed price ranges based on what we quote every day — not inflated showroom figures.
All prices below are indicative supply-and-install rates for residential projects in the Perth metro area, including Joondalup and the northern suburbs. They include standard subfloor preparation, adhesive or underlay, and basic trim work. Unusually poor subfloors, large-format rooms, or complex layouts may attract additional costs.

Prices are indicative installed rates for Perth metro residential projects. Final price depends on subfloor condition, room complexity, and product selection. All prices include GST.
Common Extra Costs to Budget For
Required when the existing subfloor has dips, humps, or moisture issues. Most installs need some levelling.
Carpet, tiles, or old timber that needs to come up before the new floor goes down.
Scotia, quad, T-mould, and threshold strips to finish edges and transitions.
Concrete slabs in Perth often need a moisture membrane, especially in older homes.

Why Flooring Quotes Vary So Much
Product grade and thickness
A 3mm LVP and a 8mm commercial-grade hybrid are both 'vinyl plank' — but the price difference is significant. We'll always show you the spec behind the quote.
Subfloor condition
A perfectly level concrete slab costs less to prepare than a timber subfloor with bounce, squeaks, or moisture. We assess this at the free measure.
Room complexity
Open-plan living areas are faster to install than rooms with lots of doorways, angles, or built-in furniture. Complexity adds time, which adds cost.
Stairs
Staircases are labour-intensive. Each step requires precise cutting, fitting, and nosing work. We quote stairs separately so you know exactly what you're paying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to floor a 3-bedroom house in Perth?
A typical 3-bedroom Perth home with around 80–100m² of living area (excluding wet areas) would cost approximately $7,000–$14,000 installed for hybrid or LVP flooring, or $10,000–$20,000 for engineered timber. This includes standard subfloor prep, underlay, and trims. We provide a fixed written quote after a free in-home measure.
Is hybrid flooring cheaper than engineered timber in Perth?
Yes — hybrid flooring typically costs $70–$130/m² installed versus $110–$200/m² for engineered timber. Hybrid is also waterproof and more stable in Perth's temperature swings, making it excellent value for most homes.
Do you charge for the measure and quote?
No. We provide a free in-home measure and written quote with no obligation. We'll assess your subfloor, discuss your options, and give you a fixed price before any work begins.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most residential jobs take 1–3 days depending on the area size and product. Engineered timber may take slightly longer due to acclimatisation requirements. We'll give you a clear timeline when we quote.
Can you lay new flooring over existing tiles?
Yes — hybrid and LVP flooring can often be laid directly over existing tiles if they are flat, firmly bonded, and in good condition. This saves the cost of tile removal. We assess suitability at the free measure.
Do you service Joondalup and the northern suburbs?
Yes. We are based in Joondalup and regularly install flooring throughout the northern suburbs including Edgewater, Heathridge, Woodvale, Kingsley, Wanneroo, Currambine, Ocean Reef, and surrounding areas, as well as greater Perth.
What flooring is best for Perth's climate?
Hybrid flooring is the most popular choice for Perth homes because it handles temperature fluctuations and humidity well, is fully waterproof, and suits the open-plan layouts common in WA homes. Engineered timber is the premium choice for a natural timber look with better stability than solid timber in Perth's conditions.
