Flooring in Highett
Highett sits between Cheltenham, Hampton East and Sandringham, with its shops and station on Highett Road. About 10 km by road from our showroom, it has changed a lot in recent years, with post-war houses giving way to townhouses and small apartment blocks.
That mix means two very different kinds of job: refreshing an older house, or fitting out a new build from scratch.
Refresh or fit out
Refreshing an older house
New carpet is the quickest way to lift a tired house. Taking up and disposing of the old carpet is about $8/m², and new 10mm underlay is $6–$10/m². If the kitchen and living areas have dated vinyl, hybrid or 5mm vinyl plank can go in once the old floor is lifted and the subfloor prepared; removing the old vinyl is quoted at the measure.
Fitting out a new townhouse
New townhouses usually need every room done at once. One measure covers the lot, and you get a single written quote within 24 hours. Engineered oak (from $89/m²) suits buyers who want real timber; hybrid gives a similar look and copes better with water.

Highett flooring FAQs
Do you take up old vinyl or tiles?
Yes. We remove old timber, vinyl and ceramic tiles, priced at the measure because it depends on how they were laid. We don’t lay tiles.
How quickly will I get a quote?
Your written quote is emailed within 24 hours of the measure.
Do you lay laminate?
Yes. Laminate is about $40/m² supply and $28/m² to install, with the underlay included. It suits dry rooms such as bedrooms and studies; for kitchens and laundries we’d suggest hybrid.
