Gap around subfloor after re fitting T+G

[Mattatooi]

Hi,

Removed parts of T+G subfloor to install under floor insulation. On re fitting, I have probably fitting it tighter than original, and as a result I have a gap at the edge. This was originally tight against the wall. Removing the T+G, meant alot of the T+G's got damaged/removed. So some of them where like normal planks of wood. If that makes sense? This is'nt a big problem as I am about to lay some laminate flooring on top.

- Is this fine? The biggest gap is around 16mm
- If not, what should be used to fill it?
- Or will it be OK to just put underlay to wall as is and lay laminate flooring with 10mm expansion
- Only really have issue on the wall that i put last T+G board back in.

I wouldn't worry about it, once the skirting's on it shouldn't notice.

Most skirting is around 20mm deep, so yes.

Personally I'd sand and varnish those boards. Will look much nicer than laminate.

Cheers

Gap shouldn't be a problem

I would have to agree with the sand and varnish option
