I will have to check on that and get back to you. No idea why he over ordered by so much as he measured and worked it out. Again we trusted his judgment. We also have a lot of spare underlay, as well as lvt from the other job.

I appreciate your opinions but this pile on isn't helping. I am already pretty depressed about it and just want to make the best of it having already spent good money. I am not a floor specialist so wasn't to know. I can only trust someone who does a lot of work for clients (some big expensive...

A self employed builder/property repair. I don't want to go too much into the person as he in the main did a good job with other work he did for us but, as much as I appreciate the advise and knowledge, I think posting here is going to be under intense scrutiny whatever way it was done. I...

He said it makes no difference if only adding extra cushioning. I can't see what harm it would do. Besides it would be sitting on cold concrete if you took the lino away. There is Wood Fibre Laminate and Wood Flooring Underlay over he lino anyway.

This is the area we are talking about. The area it is springing is this corner. I am going to paint the skirting hence the filler showing. I also put the beading on so can't see beyond but looking to the right I can see it goes under the skirting so no idea why lifting.

The beading is definitely 100% wooden but it will have to come off when I adjust the skirting.

Yes it was something very similar, more green and I have a few sheets left over as I also do with a box and a half of the wood because he overbought.

You mean the rounded wooden beading that makes it look neat and hides the gaps?

I'll just adjust the skirting as advised but I have already put beading on some of it that I haven't photographed. And yes I glued it to the skirting and not the floor.

It states on the box Well I'm not on the floor looking sideways at it so you don't see it. The box states it's for Kitchens and living rooms. The fitter did just what you said and took some off the end plank when it warped last time. So on that basis why is it going again ? The other end of the...

Thanks all. I shall monitor it and perhaps adjust the skirting if it gets worse. So far can live with it.

)} A few days or so but not for that reason as the kitchen had to be finished first.

It's solid wood. I did the beading but don't remember much of a gap. Besides, he came back and adjusted last time and it evened out agan flat. Just can't understand why it it happening again. It can't endlessly keep expanding. At the other end it has caused the skirting board to ping away at the...

Well, I'm gutted because we only has this 100% hardwood Woodpecker floor laid in the kitchen (stated on the box for kitchens and living rooms) by our fitter in early Summer and already it has warped twice!. There is always a little movement here and there but this end got so bad a few weeks...

Yes it's an outside wall chimney breast. The dehumidifier does have a threshold control which is pretty good.

Well even after running the stove for a month, the chimney breast feeling warmish and dry it feels especially damp this morning. The dehumidifier showed 90% when I just turned it on. Its so depressing after all the time, effort and money thrown at this problem (new stove, chimney swept...

No cracks et. I just think the pipe wasn't perhaps flush with the rubber washer. It all works now.

Update - Disaster - After fitting it all back together exactly as before, water cascades from the whole of bottom of the shower like a waterfall. I the refitted making sure everything was extra tight and it works. No idea why it leaked so badly after the first attempt

Managed to take out the pipe to fit a new seal. I must say the old one doesn't look to have been breached.

Ok, we have the log burner installed with metal liner, a more durable high grade. All chimney pots are now capped which were previously open (one even had no pot for years with gaping hole until replaced a few years ago) I Wass told by the guy fitting the flue on his cherry picker that he has...
