The old laminate has to come up as laminate laid on top will create a vapour trap causing the old stuff to rot below and expand as it gets wet.

If you have a straight step, you can stick laminate to the riser and use a profile edge to cover the gap this is an L shaped transition bar that can be used to cover cut edges. ( You may need to build the riser out to suit.) Alternatives would be the quickstep stair profile that is matched...

Or is it just my blunt style of stating the obvious can you tell that I am not a big fan of solid wood flooring [removed] crap stuff scratches and dents if you even look at the [removed] stuff it separates with temperature changes and generally looks knackered within a very short period of time...

What do you find funny will2000 the estimate of the time or the comments about real wood. the last job I was on was 32 m2 with 2 doors and took 2 hours 15 minutes start to finish including terminating beading and fitting door bars for a reasonably square area this is the norm though the room in...

What are you complaining about 30m2 in a square room is about 2 hours work maybe 2 1/2 - 3 hours if you are slow any longer than that you are in the wrong job. How long would it take to do the same area in solids and then you have the added problem with the extra expansion and contraction in...

So it is ok as long as someone else pays for your mistake, what makes it ok to steal from this or any other company.

It is the width of the room that needs to be planned so you do not end with a 2cm strip at one side of the room. You can measure the width of room then divide by width of planks then half the width of the remainder this should be the width of your first row that said if you are left with 4cm...

The dew point becomes an issue when there is a significant difference in temperature between the lower cavity and the upper room. It is caused by hot air hitting a cold surface as the hot air cools against the cold surface to the dew point you get condensation. If you refer to the OP you will...

I had a mild seizure the first time I gave blood woke up on the floor wondering what was going on, apparently this is quite common. My brother also passed out in the loo at work he passed a kidney stone and his body went into shock at the pain, he doesn't remember any pain just waking up on...

If it was your neighbour who flooded you then they are responsible for the cost of the repair even if they claim it was an accident they own the property and are therefore responsible for any damage done by their plumbing to your property. If you are insured and the claim is a direct result...

It only demonstrates that the sides rotate it still has 2 sides. Well I will know where to come for a little light bedtime reading now. :lol:

As a general rule laminate is not a good idea for a bathroom the mdf core does not do well when wet. There are a few exceptions to the rule one of them being quicksteps laguna laminate which has a black gasket along the long edge and is sealed at the ends it gives the laminate a shipdeck...

Think about it Woodyoulike you are also saying that you can't level and screed a wooden floor which is normal practice as this also seals the floor. You would also not be able to fit tiles or any Karndean type floor to a wooden subfloor. If you have seen damaged joists due to damp you can...

Or buy the correct tool for undercutting at £50 this tool will do the job safely though it will be time consuming to do skirting boards with it. and as a bonus it can be used for all sorts of other jobs from sanding to grout raking...

Symtoms. The reason for the advice given is that an angle grinder is not designed for this job. If it hits brick or concrete or even cable trunking behind the skirting it is very likely to bounce out of the skirting and possibly right out of the hands of the person using it regardless of how...
