One of the most common frustrations people have when shopping for new flooring is the lack of clear, upfront pricing. Many companies make you wait until a home visit to get a figure. At Cambridgeshire Carpets, we believe in honest, transparent pricing — so here is a realistic guide to what carpet and flooring fitting costs in Peterborough in 2026.
Please note that all prices below are typical ranges. The exact cost for your project will depend on room size, subfloor condition, product choice, and whether any preparation work is needed. We always recommend a free home survey for an accurate quote.
Our carpet fitting service includes supply, fitting, and standard underlay as standard. Here are typical price ranges:
Budget carpet (polypropylene, loop pile): from around £10–15 per square metre supply and fit.
Mid-range carpet (80/20 wool-mix twist pile): typically £20–35 per square metre supply and fit.
Premium carpet (100% wool, deep pile): from £40 per square metre and above supply and fit.
These prices usually include fitting and a standard cloud 9 or equivalent 10mm underlay. Stair fitting carries a per-stair charge (typically £4–7 per stair for standard straight stairs) due to the additional labour involved.
Our Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) fitting service covers all brands and formats. Here are typical ranges:
Entry-level LVT (click system): from around £20–28 per square metre supply and fit.
Mid-range LVT (brands like Moduleo, Quick-Step): typically £30–45 per square metre supply and fit.
Premium LVT (Amtico, Karndean): from £50 per square metre and above supply and fit.
Glue-down LVT tends to cost slightly more to fit than click systems due to the additional preparation and adhesive required.
Our laminate flooring supply and fit prices include a standard 3mm foam underlay:
Entry-level laminate (7–8mm AC3 rated): from around £15–22 per square metre supply and fit.
Mid-range laminate (10–12mm AC4 rated): typically £22–35 per square metre supply and fit.
Upgrading to a premium acoustic underlay adds around £2–3 per square metre.
Our vinyl flooring service covers domestic and commercial sheet vinyl, safety vinyl, and luxury vinyl:
Budget residential vinyl: from around £12–18 per square metre supply and fit.
Mid-range / safety vinyl: £18–30 per square metre supply and fit.
Subfloor preparation is one of the most commonly overlooked costs. If your existing floor is uneven, cracked, or has old adhesive residue, a self-levelling compound or preparation work will be needed before any new floor can be fitted. This typically adds £5–15 per square metre depending on the extent of the work.
Furniture removal, door trimming, and beading or threshold strips are also worth budgeting for. We always flag these during our free home survey so there are no surprises.
