  • Installing Scotia beading.

    I want to install Scotia beating. Should I be using adhesive or nails? Should I attatch it to the laminate, just the skirting board or both?

    Replace floor joists - costs & estimates

    How much would it cost to replace the floor joists and floor boards in a 12 foot by 14 foot room. The room has a chimney in it and is on the ground floor. The current floor is bowed quite a bit, any other suggestion for fixes other than replacing the floor would be good to know.

    Should I use cement for my floor tiles

    Which adhesive for slate tiles will cement work?? I’ve had some tiling work on some floors done recently but found some of the tiles don’t stick down at all – I can lift them straight up! It is a concrete floor underneath and the tiles still need to be grouted. Is this normal to not be grouted yet? Should it be concrete or some kind of tile adhesive?

    Underlay removal for laminate flooring

    I’m planning to have laminate flooring fitted in my living room as a replacement of a carpet. Would it be okay to keep the current underlay ahead of the laminate flooring installation? Or should I have a new underlay installed instead?
