About Flooring in South Australia
Flooring specialists install, repair, refinish, and replace floors of every type: timber, laminate, vinyl, carpet, polished concrete, engineered hardwood. South Australia's climate (dry summers, mild wet winters) is generally kind to floors, but Adelaide's reactive clay soils can shift older homes, creating cracked or uneven slabs that need attention before new flooring goes down.
Common flooring jobs in SA homes:
- Carpet supply and install (homes, bedrooms, stairs)
- Timber floor installation (solid hardwood, engineered)
- Laminate and floating floor install
- Vinyl plank and sheet vinyl
- Polished concrete (popular in modern Adelaide homes)
- Timber floor sanding and refinishing
- Floor levelling before installation
- Underfloor heating installation
- Stair tread replacement
- Heritage Baltic pine and Tasmanian oak restoration
What it usually costs: Carpet supply and install $35–$85 per sqm depending on quality and underlay. Laminate $40–$70 per sqm installed. Engineered timber $90–$160 per sqm installed. Solid hardwood $120–$220 per sqm. Polished concrete $80–$150 per sqm. Timber floor sanding and refinishing $35–$60 per sqm.
Hiring tips: Before installing any hard flooring (timber, laminate, vinyl), get the subfloor checked. Adelaide has many homes on stumps and reactive clay — uneven floors will show through new flooring. Ask whether your quote includes underlay, skirting board removal/replacement, and trim. For timber floors, ask whether they use water-based or oil-based finish — water-based dries faster, lower fumes, and is increasingly the standard. For carpet, density and pile matter much more than the colour you're shown in the showroom.
