Cost to replace a trailer floor?

[HaffiesRock]

Please can you give me a rough idea how much this would cost?

I know there are wooden and metal floors, but roughly how much for each? Something like an Ifor 505 size?

Thanks

Weve literally had a quote this morning. The man said the wood you use we would need two sheets of which are £60 each plus labour he recons between £250-300
dont know how much it would be for an aluminium floor though.

yep, paid about £300 for a new wooden floor in my Bateson. Don't know about metal though.

OH replaced my wooden floor himself. Cost about £100 If that. It took half a day & its still going strong 5yrs later xx

Thanks everyone.

Do you all prefer wooden floor to Aluminum? Do you know the pros and cons of each?

I've only ever had wooden floors so can't compare. As long as they are cleaned regularly & the rubber lifted every now & then to allow the floor to dry there's no reason why a wooden floor can't last a long time xx

I had a new wood floor put down in my horsebox with roll on rubber and it was £600.

Friend had new aluminium floor in bateson trailer few months ago to replace wooden one, done by trailer retailer, 500 pounds

I should think that both have the potential to rot. I only have wood because that's what the trailer came with so replaced like for like. Well, I got a couple of horsey carpentry people to replace for me. Metal might be harder to replace and would need specialist tools?

I just had to have new woiden floor last week cost about £300 in ifor was quoted over £500 for metal floor

To replace a floor in hardwood planks, which is far superior to plywood flooring, I would suspect you would be looking at approx. £300 in materials. Labour, who knows, but when it comes to getting mine done I will have a go at doing it myself; after all its just bolted to the chassis!

My OH charges about £1300 I think to convert a wooden ifor floor to an aluminium one.

Buffalo board is better than ply. Even marine ply is not durable enough. Aluminium can also rot.
When we had our trailer floor redone last year I couldn't find anyone to do hardwood so we had buffalo board instead. Was about £300.

Wow I wouldn't have thought an ally replacement would be that price! I've seen ifor 505's already with an ally floor for only £1400
