How much for a new engineered wood floor?

[bigandclever]

I know this is a 'how long is a piece of string' kind of question, but ...

I'd like to get my downstairs floor replaced with American black walnut engineered wood planks, so I've started getting quotes. The first one has come in and I need to know if my expectations are massively out.

approx 40m2 of 21/6mm thick x 190m wide x 1900mm long engineered walnut
2-3 days labour
- remove the old floor
- supply and fit dpm
- secret nail (or float) the boards
- thresholds to fireplaces and doorways

Victorian house, if that makes a difference, with all its nooks and crannies; not a square new-build, anyway.

Quote is 5400 + 1080 VAT = 6480. Which seems a lot, since I was thinking of maybe 4000 at most, but I don't know if I'm clueless, or it's an attempted mugging

Thanks all. I think I'm just out of touch on prices. The wood is about £80(inc vat) m2 from a few online places. Will have to have a rethink, or win the lottery.

40m2 x £42m £1680
Labour £15m2 £600
Underlay £130

It's a £2.5k job

Except that the wood spec isn't the same ... the flooring I've been quoted on most resembles this one from that retailer which is twice the price at £3532.

So more like £4.5k ish with your other costs, which is sort of what I was anticipating. You still raise a good point, though, do I have to have a more-expensive floor when really I could compromise.
