Had laminate flooring(tile effect) fitted in porch ontop of membrane over concrete floor. It was only after installers left I noticed floor moves up and down at edges when walked on. Porch has brick faced walls on 2 sides and upvc on other 2 so difficult to attach beading to. Fitters tried to nail beading to brick wall but this is coming away. Anyone got any ideas how I can fix this please?

get some one who is good at there job to install in the first place?? LOL


Sounds like your subfloor is un-even so will need a smoothing compound putting down first.

Next a flat beading installed the correct way so it dont come away from the walls.

Or you could install skirting on top of the laminate?
 
Would it be okay to use "no nails" to stick on beading or skirting
 
yes but, you need to stick it to the brick not the floor. You may find that the beading will pop back off again if the floor is bouncing up and down. You would get a stronger bond with the skirting tho as its a bigger area being glued.
