Hello Santanu,

I don't know if this helps you, but pari's lll-implementation works
with floating point matrices. You can use it from sage like this:

sage: M=Matrix(2,2,[1.2,1.4,pi,5.7])
sage: p=pari(M)
sage: p.qflll()
[-2, -3; 1, 2]
sage: L=p.qflll()
sage: matrix(2,2, L.python() )
[-2 -3]
[ 1  2]

Here is, what pari's documentations says about qflll:
sage: gp.console()
....
? ??qflll
qflll(x,{flag = 0}):

   LLL algorithm applied to the columns of the matrix x.  The columns
of x must
be  linearly  independent,  unless specified otherwise below.   The
result is a
unimodular transformation matrix T such that x.T is an LLL-reduced
basis of the
lattice generated by the column vectors of x.

   If  flag  =  0   (default),   the  computations are done with
floating point
numbers,  using Householder matrices for orthogonalization.   If x has
integral
entries,  then computations are nonetheless approximate, with
precision varying
as needed (Lehmer's trick, as generalized by Schnorr).
