Deciding on a budget for your project can be quite difficult. It often requires insight into more than labour and material cost. The final price can also be affected by other factors, such as global and local economic conditions, market and seasonal trends, etc.

When preparing our annual carpet cost guide, we consider all these factors to provide you a solid forecast of costs in the South African marketplace.


Carpet (installed)

  • R300 – R500/sqm

This is the price per square metre for a new carpet, installed. The price includes the cost of the carpet itself and the labour and installation material cost. The total cost largely depends on the chosen carpet material. The cost of a carpet typically runs from R300/sqm to R500/sqm, averaging at R400/sqm.

I now live in an old farm house in which the carpets are very old and very stinky. I have a budget. I got a quote for vinyl flooring with skirting amd sealant and self-leveling, but it's too far above my budget. I'm willing to do laminate and see what's the best quote I can get. I wanted sealant because there seems to be water coming in, but we've sealed the roof and the courtyards where there's water build up during rain.

We live in a VERY old house - almost years old. Our wooden floorboards have been almost completely destroyed by time, neglect, and wood borer. Previously, my mother was staying in the house and was advised that she'd need to sand the floorboards down to bare wood before exterminators could come and pour poison down but she only had a weekend to do it so all the remaining boards have been very poorly sanded with a hand-sander. We are asking for quotes to just do the kitchen for now as there is a big hole where the boards have snapped - but over time we hope to do the entire house when we can afford it.
