Perth carpenter recommendations for laminate

Page 1 of 1
Does anyone have any carpenters in Perth they would recommend to install my floating laminate flooring?

do you really need a carpenter to install floating floor, and do you really need a good one at that.
No you don't need a carpenter but I don't have the time or inclination to do it myself.
sorry sooty didnt mean to sound like that. I was just thinking that a carpenter is over qualified for what you want to do, and depending on the area you have to do, it shouldnt take that long, i was thinking that it would take longer to find someone then to attempt it yourself of course if you had the time that is.
It seems that it generally is a carpenter who does this type of job, based on me speaking to the people who actually sell the laminate. Those who do not have installers employed usually have the numbers of carpenters I can call. So I don't know who else (in terms of a tradesman) does it. I don't even want to attempt it myself and I also want some doors hung and them to do some skirting boards, so getting a carpenter is probably going to be the easiest way to get all three done.

I have spoken to a few carpenters in Perth and they're quite reasonable in terms of cost and generally slightly lower than the install that comes with supply, but the killer is the skirting boards! I was quoted over $1700 for skirting boards in the entire house. That's a huge amount and it seems a little high to me.
