    cost of fitting bamboo flooring for a 15 square metre room in Manchester

    I am considering having a bamboo flooring laid down for a 15 square metre room in place of carpet. I am based in Manchester and I’d like to know the estimated price tag I can expect to pay to have professional flooring fitters complete this installation work? How much might the actual bamboo floorboards cost? I’d like a high-quality product but nothing exceptionally dear, if possible. How about the labour costs? And what sort of waste disposal expense am I looking at paying for the removal of my current flooring? Is this something that can be dealt with by the contractors under the bill they give me? Or will I need to hire a third party company?

    Water coming through conservatory floor

    Just bought a house and was looking to replace the vinyl flooring in the small rear conservatory. Lifted it up and there was a lot of moisture underneath. I’ve removed the vinyl to try and dry it out, but I’ve noticed water is coming through the flooring. It looks like it’s coming through the small air holes in the concrete and through parts of the edges. What is causing this issue? Can I be repaired? What type of tradesperson could help with this?
