What notch is the trowel you have? Should be a A2

Get your border drawn out. Then dry lay the centre so you are happy with the cuts. Then glue down approx 1m2 in the centre and make sure it’s tight. Once that sets you can’t run out. Use f48 plus adhesive if possible as it’s high temp so good if any sunlight.

Yes as it sits next to grippers better.

9mm. Treadaire chromium is the best out there

Yes feather finish the whole floor then sand it

Yes mate. Leave a small gap everywhere. We do 3mm around everything. Yes undercut door jabs so LVT slides under

Just the bonding glues of the plywood is better. As long as you buy decent plywood. Not Chinese you will be ok.

No you want decent ply like sp101 or FG1 for LVT. Then glue 0mm Then LVT 2.5mm on Ave

That’s good. But free 25 years they perish. But anyway. You need to get as much up as possible. Then do a full coat of ardex NA / fball 1200 / or similar That looks like you have moisture suppressant on it. But needs to be an epoxy one.

Without seeing it I’d say you need to take it all up and remove as much of the compound as possible. Does the floor have a damp proof membrane ? How old is it? Before 1980 ?

Wrong screeding compound used and shouldn’t have been primed with that primer. Floors with old adhesive down needs ardex NA.

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
