You're the bearer of good news as always mate, I remember you helping me last time. It is laminate thank Christ, I had plenty of time to think it through so can't put it down to a momentary lapse of retardation. I even filled it with concrete... I'll fit the floor as though it isn't there...

I have fitted this new cover but there is going to be timber flooring on top of the concrete floor + underlay. Should I have fitted the cover to be proud of the floor? I feel like crying the amount of work that's gone into this. How can I rectify?

Job done. I filled the hole with bags to catch mortar and rubble because I had to break out 65mm depth (for the cover) + 40mm for a new concrete bed, so around 100mm. I removed the cover completely when fitting the frame to avoid getting dirty. Sadly I didn't take on board what simonjay...

How much can I expect to pay per m2? I am in the south west

I've got a few rooms worth so I'll get the builders in and go to college to learn afterwards, I can see hassle in doing it myself and I'm very picky which doesn't help. Thanks guys

I am fitting a new internal cover to replace an existing cover which is not sealed. My question is how do I achieve uniform depth to allow cover to be fitted snug and level with concrete floor? Thanks

Just wondering because I'm toying with doing my own plastering, but will I get a decent enough finish? Or is it better paying a builder. Some people say leave it to skilled, others say have a go... I don't know

Two question, I've got a stone wall with a timber stud adjacent to it. I'm boarding the timber stud with 12.5mm plasterboard and I've reached the section where the stud meets the wall. The wall is stone so not even remotely flat. It had a layer of old 20mm lime that I have removed because...

Thanks. Had to go with the flexi in the end as didn't have time to order in the sheeting, and don't have a large enough car to transport. Perhaps psychological but installed most of the flexi today and it actually feels warmer in that immediate area. Sensed a change in reverberation as...

Ok, well really I'm after thermal, I'm not that concerned about acoustic because the suspended timber floor above will be soundproofed. Rockwool do something called a rockfloor for acoustic, I was going to use this in conjunction with acoustic PB and dense underlay for the floor but haven't...

Well it's internal timber studwork 2x4 in a basement what would you go with?

Thanks I'll compare with the flexislab and go with whichever is cheapest

Do you mean this http://www.insulation4less.co.uk/insulation-materials/roof-insulation/rockwool-knauf-rockwool-rockfloor/rockwool-slab.html It's flexible and buy the looks of it easy to fit without cutting. If you mean rigid board this may be a problem as it's difficult for me to buy the...
