  • Are carpet door bars necessary for shared carpets between rooms?

    Hello all I am planning on having the same carpet fitted across multiple rooms in my home. Are carpet door bars going to be required even if it is the same joined carpet between the rooms? Will it help to keep the carpets fitted, neat, etc? Is there any other options instead for the door bars which still allow the carpet to be fitted across rooms?

    Bumps on kitchen floor

    My kitchen floor has developed bumps. There is a concrete base which appears intact but a new (4 yr old) screed has cracked and 'erupted'. I have had it checked for damp and a builder has looked at it too and can't identify the cause.

    Can you install laminate flooring on stairs?

    Morning.. I understand that laminate can’t go over the bends on stairs but I want to replace the carpet with something else such as laminate. Is it an easy enough task for a DIYer to end up with a good looking finished product?

    Creeking Laminate Flooring

    I got herringbone laminate flooring laid about six months ago on a concrete subfloor with polystyrene bubble underlay. I need to get the creeking sound fixed that I was told would settle by time but it hasn't settled at all. It was leveled as much as possible before laying it down. I don't know if it could be the underlay being too thin or the type of the underlay as it has good reviews online designed for uneven subfloor. Can this be fixed without damaging the laminate flooring?

    Strengthen floor joists

    My surveyor has said I may need the joists in the upstairs bathroom strengthening as the floor is tilting towards the bath/wall. How much would that cost? And will I need to have the bath and flooring removed for this? Thank you!
