Replacing carpet, tiles or old floorboards
A replacement project starts with what is already there. Let us know the existing floor covering, the rooms involved and whether it has been removed. If you know whether the floor underneath is concrete or timber, include that too.
Changing floor materials can affect finished floor height, doors, skirting and the transitions into adjoining rooms. These details belong in the installation discussion before you settle on a product.
We welcome new installations and replacement projects of any size. We do not offer floor repairs.
Two ways to make the space your own
Engineered timber
A real timber surface, with oak and Australian species in the catalogue. Compare engineered oak, Blackbutt and Spotted Gum, or explore a herringbone layout.
Karndean vinyl plank
A timber-look vinyl alternative to real wood. Browse Karndean LooseLay Longboard supply and installation and save colours alongside timber options if you want to discuss both.
Make the scope clear before work starts
When comparing replacement flooring quotes, check which of these items are included, excluded or still subject to assessment:
- The selected product, colour, layout and measured floor area.
- Removal and disposal of the existing floor covering.
- Subfloor preparation, moisture checks and any levelling requirements.
- Installation method, transitions, trims and skirting arrangements.
- Furniture, access, parking and the sequence of rooms to be completed.
A room size alone cannot establish the condition of the floor underneath. Ask how any preparation discovered later would be discussed and priced before it proceeds.
Our flooring installation cost guide explains what changes the scope of a supply and installation quote.
Planning around your home
Tell us whether you will be living in the property during the project, which rooms need to remain accessible and any dates you are working towards. The installation sequence and timing need to be agreed for your particular home.
For an apartment, share any building access rules, acoustic specifications or owners corporation requirements you have received. For a kitchen or renovation, explain which other trades are involved so the order of work can be discussed.
Start with your name, email, phone and Melbourne suburb. Add an approximate area and preferred colours if you have them. A shortlist is useful, but it is not required to request a quote.
Flooring replacement questions
Can I replace carpet or tiles with timber flooring?
You can enquire about replacing carpet, tiles or existing floorboards with engineered timber or Karndean vinyl plank. The existing floor, subfloor, levels and selected product need to be assessed before the installation approach and quote are confirmed.
Is there a minimum size for a replacement flooring project?
Projects of any size are welcome, from an individual room to a whole-home replacement. Tell us the approximate area and which rooms are involved so we can discuss your scope.
Do you repair damaged floorboards?
We focus on new installations and replacement flooring, not floor repairs. If you want to replace the floor in a room or throughout your home, send your suburb and project details for a supply and installation quote.
Does a replacement quote automatically include removal and disposal?
Do not assume every quote includes the same work. Ask for removal, disposal, subfloor preparation, installation and finishing details to be identified in the written scope. Tell Premrest what is currently installed and what work has already been done.
Can I request a quote before choosing a colour?
Yes. A shortlist is optional. You can enquire about engineered timber, Karndean vinyl plank or both, then refine the colour and layout as the project is planned.
