Is this a floating LVT you had fitted or glue down?

Sheet vinyl should be able to loose lay with sealant around the edge, if you perimeter fix it, just spray suitable spray adhesive onltwo adjoing sides of the room allowing the vinyl to expand if it needs to.

I'd go with Packexe, we have replaced quite a few carpets over the years that had been protected with DIY store protector that had left all sorts of residues and bleed through writing etc on the carpet underneath

Start in the top left corner of the Living Room.

Running the carpet the 'wrong' way will just mean the carpet pile will lay across the top step/riser and down the landing so the carpet may look a different shade to the rest of the stairs. In addition you may find a little premature wear on the top step, looks like that carpet is an all...

Click LVT has a terrible reputation in the flooring trade although QuickStep is probably one of the best. The issue is that it’s a thin plastic board with plastic joints. You have to make sure the subfloor is FLAT no matter what the manufacturers claim regarding coping with uneven floors, the...

Glue down LVT on Ply will be more sound absorbing than Laminate. Avoid Click LVT. Carpet is of course the most sound absorbing material to install.

Assuming the screed that he has laid is not a Calcuim Suplhate or Anhydrate screed, then yes the floor needs to be very dry, tested with a protimeter or hydrometer box before laying the wood. You could speed up installation with a liquid DPM treatment and screed top coat. Even if you were...
