Flooring in Johannesburg costs R250–R2,000+ per square metre supplied and installed in 2026. Vinyl/LVT is most affordable at R250–R700/m², laminate costs R300–R800/m², engineered wood R350–R850/m², and solid hardwood R800–R2,000/m².

It depends on your priorities. Laminate is best for budget and easy maintenance. Vinyl/LVT is best for wet areas (kitchens, bathrooms) because it is waterproof. Engineered wood gives you real wood beauty with better stability. Solid hardwood is the premium choice that lasts a lifetime. For most Johannesburg homes, we recommend engineered wood for living areas and vinyl for wet areas.

Yes, laminate and vinyl can be installed over existing tiles if the tiles are firmly bonded and level. The tile grout lines may telegraph through thin vinyl, so we may recommend a levelling compound first. This saves the cost and mess of removing old tiles. We assess the condition during your consultation and advise on the best approach.

Laminate or vinyl flooring for a 3-bedroom home (80–120 m²) takes 2–3 days. Engineered wood takes 3–4 days including acclimatisation time. Solid hardwood with on-site sanding and sealing takes 5–7 days. Substrate preparation adds 1–2 days if levelling is needed. We provide a timeline with every quote.

We can supply and install (recommended) or install flooring you have purchased. When we supply, you benefit from our trade pricing and we guarantee the product is suitable for the application. If you buy your own, we will advise on specifications (thickness, AC rating for laminate, wear layer for vinyl) to ensure it performs well in your space.
