What to Ask Before Hiring a Flooring Installer in Melbourne

Eight questions that separate a reliable flooring installer from a risky one.

17 July 2026 · 4 min read

The product matters, but the installer matters more. Ask these questions before you hand over a deposit.

The essentials

  • Are you insured, and what does the workmanship cover?
  • Is subfloor preparation included in the quote?
  • Do you supply and install, or supply only?
  • What's the realistic timeframe and sequencing?

Digging deeper

  • Can I see examples of similar completed work?
  • How do you handle moisture testing on slabs?
  • What happens if there's an issue after install?
  • Is the quote itemised and fixed?
