laminate

Hi All, Just over a year ago I had a leaky rising main stop cock under the sink. This caused some water damage to the laminate floorboards. The separation and bubbling continued to get worse however, so I decided to pull the worst damaged board up to see if there was any other water, but...

Hi all, I have laid some laminate flooring in the kitchen (the floating, interlocking kind) on insulation and a dpm - all bought from B&Q. In the last couple of weeks, some of the joins have been bubbling and it looks like it's getting worse. My first thought was water getting under the floor...

Hello DIYers, I had a kitchen fitted by a chap who turned out to not be a kitchen fitter... Or, indeed, any good at fitting kitchens. Three months on, I've noticed the filler (Colorfill) in one of the laminate worktop joins is cracking and flaking away. Is this something I can put right or...

I'm going to lay laminate in this room at the weekend and wondered how you would recommend I start and which direction I should lay the laminate. Here's the room.... And here's the floorplan.... Would you recommend the boards go this way? i.e. Option "B". And, if so, which corner should...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to fix this type of damage please? (Please see photo) I have a few similar damaged areas across a number of furniture but this is one of the worse. I also have damage on a flat surface and heard colorfill was good and has good...

ive had a leaking sink waste for some time, only just found out. The ground floor is completely tiled and laminate floor and I am wondering whether it would be better to be part carpeted to help it breathe more ? Thanks

I have some floor trim/beading to go around my new laminate floor, but I'm struggling to get a nice 45° degree angle. I have a mitre saw which has 45° setting but the trim is not flat so I can't get the angle to be flush. Skotia edge by barnsley7 posted 8 Dec 2019 at 3:18 PM Skotia trim by...

I'm in the process of getting the nursery ready with my partner... I'm 35 weeks pregnant and on a budget so trying to install laminate flooring ourselves (my partner is doing the actual physical parts and I'm doing the calculations). I was measuring up and I can only get 2 boards along a row...

I would like some advice about mould coming through a newly laid laminate flooring. The house was built in the 1920s. We have undertaken some major renovation. Taking each room back to the brick. The dining room floor had a laminate laid which we lifted. The floor underneath was concrete with...

I have a kitchen worktop that has sink very close to a corner. As a result, soon after it was fitted it bubbled where the mitre cuts close to the sink. I need to replace the worktop on a bugdet and can't afford solid surface or solid laminate, so...

Need some urgent help, please! I am having a east facing conservatory built and am a bit confused about flooring. It's a large rectangular conservatory (3m by 9m) and has two manholes that the builder will raise up to floor level and we will need some sort of double sealed manhole cover that...

Our never ending joy of a previous DIY "enthusiast" kitchen has brought us another present. Looking to replace the flooring (laminate vinyl) but it has been fitted underneath the units (great idea right?). Really we are looking for the easiest way out and our hope is that cutting around the...

Hi, I'm laying my last bit of laminate floor and have no planks left but enough bits of plank to complete the area. However each bit has a sawn edge therefore no groove! What shall I do? I don't want to buy a whole new pack just to use one plank. Thanks!

Hi Guys, :(:( Currently wanting to relay a new laminate flooring on the upstairs bedrooms, have stripped the old laminate flooring to the floorboards which I have fixed, some were creaking which I have now screwed back into the joint timber, however I would like surface to be flat and level...

I am planning to get new flooring in my bedroom. My neighbour installed laminate flooring 10 years ago and he said the reason why some planks in the centre of the room wouldn’t click into place was because the floor boards were uneven, probably due to heat from the radiator. I don’t want this to...

I am going to replace an old carpet with laminate downstairs. The plan is to put some insulation under the laminate as otherwise the floor will be really cold. I will end up with the following layers: Laminate 10 or 12mm thick Celotex TB4025 insulation -- 25mm thick (would love to have more...

Hi, I am renovating a bungalow and am in process of doing the kitchen. I am going to lay Wickes laminate flooring and I want to know if I need to put plywood down first? The current floor is wood planks and is v level and my kitchen fitter said I didnt need ply but the guy in Wickes said it...

We have an ongoing issue with an odour which we believe to be coming from our laminate floor. The floor sits on a ground floor concrete slab. In the past, we had an issue with water ingress and the original floor (engineering board?) was removed and replaced with 10mm laminate once the problem...

Hi. We are having our kitchen installed. The worktop was installed and we have noticed that 1 joint is almost perfect (smooth) but the other one when you touch it feels up and down (not a lot but about 1mm). Also looks like little chip at the end. Buidler said that this is a fault of the...
