Do you mean superglue that comes in 2 parts and one is a spray?

I have a thin strip of LVT that wasn’t stuck properly, and another small area 10cm x 15cm. I don’t really want to spend £25 on a tub of flooring glue. These areas won’t be walked on. Is the glue in the pic ok? I also have PVA, superglue and PU wood adhesive.

I’ve not finished yet but I’ve bought mapei screed and primer

A bit late now!

Yes, its click 14mm flooring on duralay. So if I understand, the point of the primer is to stop the screed drying out too quick and provide some adhesion? And the yellow grit stuff can also do that

That stuff is like twice the price of the screed. Is there something special about it? I have a tub of yellow pre grit primer for plastering, was thinking that might work?

Thanks I was just looking at that one (Mapei, I can’t see Ardex anywhere local) . What kind of primer do I use first? There are so many!

What kind do I need for chipboard? Do I need to prime it or something?

I need to level this bit of chipboard sub floor by the wall to lay engineered flooring. Its about 1.5m by 0.3m in the centre. The deepest bit is 15mm too low, the rest is mostly alot less but more than 3mm. Its glued and screwed in place so I don’t want to take it up really. Its not in a high...

Do you think this would work with the basin waste seal you linked? i can’t see how its tightened onto the basin https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-slotted-lever-basin-waste/615kj

Thanks. What kind of sealant would I use to seal it to the basin?

So I have a small section of boarded loft (1m x 5m) in the eaves of a converted attic, there is only about 10cm of insulation under the board and the bedroom below gets cold. I just put insulation 20cm total over the board which would be a pain to remove. Now I’m wondering if that could cause...

This sink has a metal section from the plughole into the plastic u bend, which has totally corroded away and leaked. Can it be replace or do I need a new sink? If its fixable how do I do that? What sealant should I use? Thanks

I only have an orbital sander. Is it safe to take 5mm off 22mm chipboard flooring ?

This is probably the best way, just dreading getting it up as its properly glued on the tongues and joists

Id say i need up to 5mm off an area 500mm by 400mm . I don’t mind about mess so much as destroying the structural integrity of the board?

its pretty horrible with a straight edge, the middle is about 8mm above the rest. Part of the reason is that the room to the bottom of the pic is level but the hallway and room to the left slope away to the top slightly. But even so, the hallway has a lump about 4mm above the room to the left...

I've been trying to get my 22m chipboard floor (on joists) flat in two rooms and a hallway of the 1st floor, so I can lay a floating click engineered floor. There is one high spot left in the hallway , which is partially over a steel I-beam which i think is why board is bent out of shape. I...

They’ll be running from the front door down the hallway, not like that pic

I mean that looks great (although the skirting will cover up alot of it?) , but I’m laying a floating engineered floor on underlay, so doesn’t it have to sit under the lip of an L section?
