Hi everyone
for a while, I've been feeling a slight draft when sitting in bed. I've discovered that there is a gap between the laminate flooring and the skirting board. Both were laid last year; the board on top of the skirting (so no beading).
The draft is becoming stronger and tonight I was on my hands and knees with the torch, investigating further. It appears that the gap is getting larger; enough that you could slide a £1 coin. This gap is only partially along the skirting/floor.
The other complication is that the bedroom floor isn't level; only discovered when the laminate was laid and at the time wasn't too bothered. Now, I'm worried that the joist (I think that's the term) aren't fully supported?
Do I have a problem and who should i call in. Don't really want to pull up the floor (although click flooring). Should I be worried? Any advice greatfully received. I often lurk on this site, so know that someone maybe able to give some advice. Though I love DIY, I don't do any, so please be gentle.
Many thanks.
