Out of interest why go there then a local independent shop

Are they proper carpet fitters. Never know any who would let a customer do the grippers. The distance is usually 4-7mm depending on the thickness of the carpet. The whole point is to trap the carpet against the skirting.

Your sub floor could need a liquid Dpm as well as some smoothing compound

That is asphalt.

Looks like asphalt

Could do with a new twin doortrim. To be honest ring a local carpet fitter. Prob cost £30-40 to sort it amd he would use a knee kicker to fit it correctly

Yes bricks in the floor. Kitchen can go in yes. Just make sure only the plastic legs touch the floor. You don’t want any end panels touching the screed

The whole floor. The bricks need removing 1st then filling in with na and granno with a Dpm sheet ( visqueen ) Then na up to the new screed. How long has that been down? What flooring you having ?

Low heat and watch you don’t burn the skirting. Try heating up and rolling it and seeing if it stays down

Ardex na Ardex DPM 1c Ardex Na That’s is our go to with that kind of sub floor.

Not sure why it’s been siliconed though as it doesn’t need it. It’s an easy fix though. Warm planks up. Lift up and apply some glue and get some weight on the cuts.

The trowel should be a A2 notch. The adhesive used is a good one. It’s a wet set so you have to get the planks in before it goes off. Within 15 min

Shouldn’t be any expansion gap at all. Yes the silicone would have lifted the Lvt a fraction. If the adhesive is an inch short it tells me they aren’t proper LVT fitters. What plywood is it? Should be a good grade like SP101 or FG1 for gluing straight to it.

Don’t understand the reading you have. Should be below 75%RH. Most floors test at 57-70 What meter are you using

What’s the sub floor ? What adhesive was used and what trowel

Click or glue down ?

Sorry mate. Thought it was glue down. I’d just use a45 in the joint and sand it flat in that case

You want some ardex a45 rapid and some mesh mate to bridge the ply and screed. Then prime and a full coat of a fibre compound like ardex k40HB

The liquid Dpm lets moisture through at a slower rate. I’d get that down and up the bricks an inch. Ardex DPM1c is the best one I’d say but they are mostly similar ardex DPM1c Fball F77 Tilemaster one coat Dpm

Now you have the vinyl up it will dry out a bit. Looking at that I’d say ardex Na or similar then a epoxy Dpm
