I may have a job coming up that will involve taking down a internal wall to make two rooms into one, anyone in the trade or anyone recommend someone?

 

Will need plastering done, floor tiles layed, new kitchen fitted, laminate fitted, french doors where a window is now et al...

Avoid him as he's dodgy as f**k

While we're on the subject of good advice, don't put down laminate. It looks disgusting and is cheap and nasty. Even the expensive stuff. Get real wood down.

Correct. Not exactly a hard thing to put down either, even I managed it.

Pergo etc. can look good, the b&q stuff is generally pish though.

 

To Daytripping, have you considered amtico/karndean vinyl flooring?

Its probably going to be Bamboo stuff, goes together like the laminate, clicks in. Will take a look at your suggestions though, I'm still at the planning stage so have not bought anything yet.

 

Thanks for all the offers btw, will be in contact nearer the time, still need a good plasterer/tiler!

I've had Quickstep Perspective 1V natural varnished oak down in my livingroom for years. Looks good and as new as the day it was laid.

Use minimum 9mm moisture resistant boards with at least .5mm laminate veneer and you'll be fine.

I've got B&Q laminate down in my kitchen and it looks good and it seems to be sufficient quality.

Is the board broken?

 

Already posted this but it crashed.

 

Tord, it's an easy job to do yourself, I'll easily loan you my electric planer if you'll collect and return, I'm in Bucksburn. It will skim them no bother in seconds.

 

PM me if you want it.

This thread is a blast from the past, ended up doing a good bit of the work myself, walls down, flooring, skirtings, the easy enough stuff.

 

Had a great plasterer/tiler though, he did a load of work.

 

The project is 3/4 done, just the hall and bathroom to sort out.
