Did you manage to make any progress?
My floor has been down for over a year now and creaking consistently except last night when the humidity levels were below 50% in the house. Can any experts offer any advice on what this could mean and if there’s any other ways to fix it than keeping...
No, unfortunately not. I think my problem was due to levelling in some areas and underlay in others but Berry got out through the underlay and the builder continued to blame the product so I got no where.
What area are you in? I looked for a local flooring specialist but couldn't find any so...
I am installing a new ceiling and have fitted new joists to be attached with resilient bars and acoustic plasterboard.
Does anyone have advice on the best soundproofing insulation to use?
I had planned to use this acoustic roll from Knauf but am concerned it's not strong enough but not sure...
Thanks a lot for the advice. I was recommended the underlay by the flooring retailer but I purchased elsewhere as it was cheaper.
I’m disappointed the fitter didn’t notify me of the issue when installing as it always made the noise but this is the first floor I’ve had installed so I assumed it...
This is the flooring - https://www.berryalloc.com/global/en/Laminate/chateau
it was fitted on QA techniboard 5mm which has a compression strength of 80kpa. I’ve since found out that the minimum compression strength of the required underlay is 100kpa so the manufacturer are not interested in my...
Thank you for the replay, Is the expansion true of height as well? I can’t see whether the flooring is touching wood inside the door jam but I can see that it’s tight on top.
I had new laminate fitted that’s creaking and cracking when walked on and I’m trying to rule out all potential problems.
One issue I’ve noticed is that my flooring is really tight to the door jamb almost like it’s squeezed under with barely room for a sheet of paper. Can anyone provide any...
I had my walls plastered and a new stove fitted last year. I followed instructions over allow plaster to dry and starting with small fires however I’ve now got a large crack approximately 6 months later.
Can anyone provide any advice on how to fix this and if there’s any potential further...
Just had another thought about this flexing crackling noise problem. The flooring is laid in an extension with a concrete subfloor as well as throughout house on floorboards. The parts that are concrete fill extremely solid underfoot and do not flex where as anywhere on the floorboards does. The...
Hi,
I have a leak coming from the waste pipe of my integrated toilet that looks to be like the multi quick joint. It's at the bit between where the ceramic of the toilet meets a plastic pipe and there's some ruber in between. I watched a youtube video that recommends Plumbers Mait as a quick...
Thanks for the reply. Think I may have to lift the flooring and relay but it’s a narrow herringbone so will be a struggle.
What do you think the breakage rate will be from lifting a floor?
Hoping for some help. I had Berry Alloc Cheatu Laminate flooring installed in November last year but have had noise problems since installation. When walked on, the floor crackles a bit like if there was rice crispies or packets of crips stuck underneath the flooring.
I've read some articles...
Hi all,
I'm looking for a second opinion and some thoughts from those with more experience of plumbing.
I've had some problems with pressure dropping after installation of new radiators which I thought was related to the system expansion. After installation of the new radiators I only then...
