oh no...tell me why ???? :roll: Is ' checkertrade ' a dirty word on here ?

I wish I had a cystal ball ! Thanks for your replies. Yes they will be supplying everything that is needed for the door to be hung, door linings etc etc Ideally a recommendation from a friend would be ideal but it was a case using Yell.com and google. This guy I actually found on a site...

Hi there Sorryif this comes across as a silly question but we are trying to find a carpenter to fit 2 door linings ( we used to have metal frames that we took out ...stupidly ) and 2 doors plus some skirting board in our dining room which is approx 11ft by 7 ft. Is this a pretty easy job...

WOW the plot thickens further and my head hurts even more :? :roll: Thanks Mattysupra for your advise. Sorry to sound completely dumb but what do you mean when you say ' subfloor ' ? Nothing other than this silver foil underlay was used and it was foil side up on the concrete floor...

sorry one more thing.........would the foil underlay have to be laid face down or would thr foil be on the top....if that makes sense?? I just read another question on the forum about underlay for laminate and someone replied saying the foil bit should be face down? On ours it was face up so...

Just had a look at the original quote and it says will prepare existing floor with 3.6m Far Eastern WPB plywood to give satisfactory subfloor surface To supply and lay suitable polyfoam underlay ????? The plywood wasn't fitted in the 2 rooms that have existing wood...

Thanks for your reply Mattysupra.....sorry didn't see your reply yesterday. Can I ask what the mthods are of using the tinfoil underlay correctly on our wooden floors ? I doubt very much that he did know what was foing. Looking at the quote ( yes someone did come round before the work ) they...

No he actually came out to see the work and then promised to send someone else to fix it but sent the young lad round again ! Which we refused as he clearly struggled first time round. So now I'm just waiting to see if he will send someone else round but obviously concerned ! The...

Thanks for the reply. The company boss says he will put it right but I have lost faith in him now and how will I know if it's completly right? If the underlay is all wrong or other things that aren't as obvious as a nail sticking out then this time next year we could be forking out for a new...

I'd laugh if this wasn't causing me so much pain :cry: :? We had carpet, a very nice one in fact but the children took it upon themselves to trash it so we thought we'd try good old laminate as we couldn't afford the solid oak that I really wanted :roll: Oh dear...........don't know...

I really hope someone can offer me some good advise please.....sorry for the long wnded post but I'd be so grateful if someone could help. We've recently had a company round to us to lay some laminate flooring on top of existing old pine floors in 2 rooms and on top of a concrete hallway. We...

Oh thanks for replying...............I've seen alot of your replies whilst reading up on flooring and you sound very knowledgable. :D I think our floors in the lounge are pretty good really and seem level to me. I will find out whether the floor will be nailed or glued and...

Hi there I've read lots of posts on here which have been very helpful but I'm still confused when it comes to wooden flooring! We have limited funds for this project so I really want to get this right first time with the right company. We've had several quotes and picked one company...
