Yeah, the original floor is solid, although apparently not flat.
The original tiled floor is underneath the insulation. Underneath the tiles is a concrete base.
Thanks for the reply. Two months later and the builder is still arguing with me about whether the floor should be pinned down with skirting or...
No, it a Victorian terrace.
Their solution was to screw down the subfloor & floor to the brickwork underneath the doorframe, which I’ve rejected, as they’d drill through the...
Great, thanks! I’ll check. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the wrong insulation TBH.
I don’t unfortunately, as the subfloor was fitted while I was away. I need to find out though, as I’m now worried whether the insulation is even...
Thanks for the advice - it’s really helpful to have all this info to come back at them with.
Not sure - will see if I can get a plinth off to check if there’s an expansion gap. Although from the sounds of it, the floor needs to come back...
Sorry, I meant it stops at the plinth feet.
Thank you! I feel like I’m going mad because they keep telling me there’s nothing wrong with the floor. The metal door-trim was the builder’s...

Hi All, I’ve recently had my kitchen renovated, which included raising the floor by approx 10cm. The builder installed the subfloor (rigid...
Or in the case of my job, you guess & hope the customer is a bit short sighted... :rolleyes: Update: thanks for all the advice everyone. The boss...
Yes, I think that's probably why my friend's floor has mastic/silicone round the edges; apparently they didn't give him a choice.
No, it was the middle one - plus my friend was really happy with the job they did.
I don't know what type of plywood, I'm afraid, but they didn't screed it. I did question the lack of screed, but I had three quotes (including...
Thanks v much. Guess it's not me being over fussy then! Thanks for the advice on the silicone too, Rugmunching - will be useful if they offer to...
[ATTACH] Hi All, I've just had Karndean flooring fitted on the first floor of my house (it's floorboards, so plywood was laid first). I'm a bit...
