    Was approached recently by a woman when loading up timber flooring who wanted a price to laya al aminate floor. She said it was a big lounge and the laminate had cost her £150 and the shop quoted 300 to fit.

    Told her without seeing it {she didn't know the size}that if it was a big room it might be a fair price for labour. She couldn't seem to get her head round the fact that metre for metre the price for laying would be about the same no matter what price the laminate.
