    Hello chaps,

    Looking at getting involved in wood or laminate, within the next few weeks. Ive done one job in laminate for a friend but never really liked it. Getting so many people asking for supply and fit on laminates. Just wondering how i would go about it.

    cheers fellas.

    Get on a course for some training. You'll pick up some good tips / techniques.
    Floorskills run good courses and you'll get great help.

    anyone done the wood course at floorskills it's something I've been considering?
    is their much call for it at the moment (I get about 2 calls a month about wood as i fit laminate) or would amtico or sheet vinyl be a more popular choice thanks.

    thanks Angry Andy, so how ready after the course are you to take on domestic wood floors?
    As self employed no more experienced to show me the ropes.
    thanks

    Biggest tip I can say is don't run before you can walk.
    Do a basic course at Floorskills to start you off.
    Do square rooms like bedrooms or living rooms to start with.
    That way you can learn the different locking systems. Quickstep is easier to fit imo.
