Laminate flooring

[lozz]

anyone good at fitting laminate flooring ineed some advice pointers,

how do you fit laminate flooring in a room thats 50 pence shaped ?
how do you get the angles?

ican fit laminate flooring in a room thats square but this is baffling
is there a special tool for copying curves if you know what imean?

ilive in a victorian old style ex hotel ive never seen rooms this shaped before

What you need is a Carpenters angle finder thingamejig

One of these things

and for curves, a profile gauge should do the job

lozz look no further. thats my trade

ive used one, its a tool which follows the pofile of the wall, then draw onto the floorboard, and cut it carefully with a jigsaw.
The skirting board will then sit over the edge if you make small mistakes.

[Gary406]

you dont need any nonsence tools like those in the links

a good old pencil and ruler is all you need. and of course a jigsaw.

how bigs the room ? how many packs of laminate. i will do it for you if you want . i can also get beading for £2 a strip.

i can get all flooring products at trade price

Frank isee your point mate im a Qualified painter and decorator ican paint and paper a full house normal sized and carpet/ laminate it in under a week,

But not this one mate it takes a full month,

its a bit like the Fawlty towers hotel

[lozz]

what quote did he give you ?

he said free fitting at first with the purchased laminate flooring,
but he declined on that after seeing with his own eyes the size and measuring up,

he said £300 to fit it

iwill do it my self,

it will cost me most probs £400 to do the ground floor in b&q cheap grade laminate so its not to bad,
its better than buying carpet spose

[FarmerPug]

b&q stuff isnt too bad, it wont mark like solid floor.
