    Can carpet tiles be used with underlay

    Carpet tiles are usually installed on a tackifier ie. an adhesive that is applied with a roller to the floor and then allowed to dry to a tacky state before the tiles are laid. I don't think you will notice all that much difference between carpet tiles and carpet with an underlay as far as...

    BNI and other Networking Organisations

    Apologies for the delayed reply mickyg. For the fee you get a structured meeting agenda, newsletters, training sessions, access to groups across the globe (one guy got a printing job from someone, I believe, in the Maldives), etc. The last fee I paid was £400 plus VAT and then...

    BNI and other Networking Organisations

    mickyg If you believe that spending £1200 a year in order to get over £40000 worth of business is a rip off then yes BNI is a rip off. As I said before it does not work for everyone but if you took the time to contact people in other groups who are in the same business as you I'm sure they...

    BNI and other Networking Organisations

    BNI is most certainly NOT a scam. I have been a member of BNI for over 11 years now and it costs me about £1000 a year. I am probably one of the biggest tight bottoms around but it pays for itself many times over. I have business coming in from people who were members from years ago and have...

    Laminate flooring

    Place your WC on the floor and mark where the holding screws will go. Then cut holes in the laminate as you would for radiator pipes being careful they do not show at the sides of the pan. Fix the pan down but don't over tighten. Run a bead of sealant around the base of the pan. You would be...

    The best feeling in the world.

    My wife and I are lucky enough to have THE most gorgeous grandson (I know I know conny) in the world. The other day he was quietly dozing off as she was cuddling him and she turned and said "This has got to be the best feeling in the world" Well it is for us, but what is the best feeling in...

    Creaky solid wood floor

    The other possibility of course is that insufficient expansion has been left around the perimeter. You need to check by removing any skirting boards or trim around the edges to see if the floor itself is hitting the walls.

    Solid wood floor nightmare

    For rh readings of 96% you could use F.Ball F75 two coat application BUT a relative humidity reading is NOT the same as a 20% moisture reading. You would need to check the concrete with a relative humidity moisture meter.

    sticky black mess under tiled floor.

    Your sticky black mess is probably bitumen which will have to be removed as I doubt new adhesive will stick to this. You need to scrape off as much as you can and I believe previous posters have had some success using white spirit to remove the remainder - it is NOT a nice job. I have a...

    Solid wood floor nightmare

    A reading of over 20% is extremely high. What method did you use to ascertain this figure? Is this a new house - if so then concrete will need an average of one inch per month to dry out? If this is an old property then you may have a problem that needs to be resolved before you can...
