Hi all,
So, I had vinyl flooring fitted in the bathroom yesterday. The fitters used adhesive and it lies nice and flat. However, this morning I notice on one edge it has lifted up creating a bubble. This edge hasn’t been sealed, so I have been standing on it hoping to flatten it out, but it hasn’t worked. I am thinking of putting heavy weights on it overnight. Any other ideas?

I have seen floorers use heavy weights where the floor bows upwards.
 
I have put some weights on (from my son’s dumbbells) Will leave overnight and see if it makes a difference.

That’s the edge you can see curling. They have just tried to tuck it in. Rest of vinyl is glued down with adhesive

Looks like you have too much vinyl. You need to slice some off. Use a strait edge and knife to do that in small steps.
