I went with carpet tiles off eBay in the end, cost me £100 for 27 sq mtrs. for commercial quality Heuga tiles.

Was about to order commercial vinyl flooring tiles but the process to fit them (ensuring the plywood was flat, filling all voids and screw heads and then priming) was just too complex.

The carpet tiles been down a couple of months now and I'm really pleased. I was worried that the tiles would move when lowering the car off the scissor lift but I have made up some slip boards to go under each wheel to allow the suspension to compress and have had no problems.

As skydiver says 'they are much warmer to work on than concrete.

Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sale-Job-Lot-80-Used...

Do you just lay them down or do you have to stick/glue/nail them on?

From recollection they are 0.5m x 0.5m
They shouldn't move if retained by the walls but to be honest I used spray adhesive on some to help
