Yeah but I don't know as much as you. Do was going off what I had read, Again they don't normally operate is to pick up the material till the morning I think they use Jewsons. You gotta understand not everyone is going to do work to the high standard as you might which is evident why we are her...

Seems I've made myself look like a tit here as online it said you do need to just incase as it's better 2 just incase then have to rip it all back up. Again I've had to re learn all this as my days of woodwork went away in the 90s lol and I haven't gone that way work wise so have forgotten...

Rented haha ( if I had all the tools I would need I would have lol). Theres just so much conflicting info online so have to double check things especially with me being in the uk but knocks advise is pretty solid from what I've read so I'm basically done just needed to confim with people in...

So again my apologies you seem to have miss interpreted why I asked you. I previously mentioned that the advise/online is harder tto understand for a newbie as its geared mainly to American houses. Well this is what he wants to do fyi the guy also claimed he was a carpenter so please don't...

Um wow okay not what I was doing I came back to you for clarification as I'm reading and being told loads of different things wouldn't you think if I came back to you it's because your advise matches most of what I've read. If you look at that time stamp within the screen shot of that other...

Also someone else said this. "Correct it’s good practice to do this but look at what your laying over so if for example your going over floorboards that are 100mm do it it 100mm centres so each fixing is on the centre of a board. As for expansion if your concerned leave 2mm gap at edge"...

Can you explain this a little bit more how would I know if the screw os pulling the sheet good enough.. I assume jack off you mean like some kind of lift or height difference between the then 2 ends/edges of the ply sheet. And tight refers to the sheet being flat but it's been a very long time...

Cherrs you can clearly see gaps even between the sheets I've even got a nail in the middle of the ply layers it's odd don't know how they did that.

Thanks for such amazing advise if the property was mine I'd hier you to do the job. As you seem to have given the most honest advise. I have no idea why they came up but yeah they will do again obviously just like the nails will continue to rust now that they have started. Also if they didn't...

Cherrs, well you can tell by the photos I'd hope if it can be sorted landlord wants to just fill the issues with filler? You said thats a terrible idea? I'm not a carpenter so....just learning as stuff happens oh yeah some said they either drill a pilot or use a driver drill I just forget to...

Cherrs, it's hard as most sites are American and they don't use floorboards and like we do in the uk so makes it harder to learn new stuff when so many people call it different names and do it different ways. But i think I've got it now my subfloor is my " soft plank floorboards" that sits on...

Wouldn't the flooring under my joist be the ceiling for the people below me...? So what is the floorboards called then if not a subfloor everything I have read say subfloor sits on the joist and yeah plywood ontop is overboarding but everyone refers to it as an subfloor doesn't help lol.

Online advise is weird as most say subfloor is applied to the joist which would make my floorboard my subfloor yeah it's all been overboarded aka make the surface flush. So lino can be put down the thing is the nails are all rusting there are different cuts of ply at different heights where...

Lol I know right sadly it's rented and the landlord wants to do everything as cheap as possible instead of right. Obviously If it was mine I'd do it correctly and to a much higher standard subfloor if done correctly last over 20 years I moved in a year ago. Just some basic lino but the...

I have tried to give you enough photos so u can give the best advise you can while it is over the web there is onlybso much the camera will pick up the sheets are just dotted around seems at different heights/levels also different grades and the area obviously wasn't clean prior and all the...

Some more pictures they don't really show how bad it is like the naked eye would

Hi guys some advise from what I have read a plywood subfloor/overboard over my floorboards what is it even a subfloor or overboard as my floorboards are my subfloor? They all say online it should be either nailed or screwed down @ 150mm intervals. Okay, so why 150mm intervals I assume that...

Okay, Cherrs....

The last 2 pics mentioned in above post if any are in the trade could let me know? what they should have done here is is either change the order they put them up... Say for example the side trim first then the top trim cut to size or just cut out for the side panel trim to fit in. cherrs.

So just had some windows put in.... And need some peoples thoughts on it. Wouldn't you cut with the angle as you can see the length changes as you go futher along I can't remember what tool you would use been a very long time since wood work for me wouldn't you just use a protractor? Is it...
