For the last 5 we've had laminate flooring throughout the hall, lounge and diner. Its the type that joins without a V groove so is therefore flush....or should be !!!
In one area that leads from part of the hallway into the lounge, the edges of each board have risen so the joins are now quite destinctive.
We'd had our heating off until last week when the plumber came to fit new thermostatic radiator valves and service the boiler. We then had the boiler on for a good few hours. Could the change in temperature have caused this ? I did wonder if there is a leak from the new valves/joints but have checked as far as I can and can find nothing. The joins in the boards do not seem damp and there is no 'give' when pressed. My wife assures me that the plumber did not spill any water when draining the rads....so I'm lost as to what this could be. The insurance company have basically told me to ???? off until I have established what has caused it. There is no way of checking underneath without cutting a lump out. Any suggestions ?
