Laminate flooring is a floating floor system where planks click together at the tongue and groove rather than being fixed directly to the subfloor with nails or adhesive. Installation involves laying an underlay, clicking the boards together in a staggered pattern, and leaving an expansion gap of 10 to 12mm around all walls. Skirting boards or scotia trim are fitted at the end to cover the gap and complete the finish.
Yes, laminate flooring should be left in the room where it will be installed for at least 48 hours before fitting begins. This allows the boards to adjust to the room’s temperature and humidity levels, reducing the risk of expansion or contraction once the floor is down. Skipping this step is one of the most common causes of gaps opening up or boards buckling after installation.
The subfloor must be clean, dry, and flat before any laminate is installed, with any old carpet, grippers, or debris fully removed beforehand. Significant dips or humps in the subfloor should be addressed with a leveling compound, as an uneven base puts stress on the locking joints and can cause the floor to separate over time. A suitable underlay should then be laid perpendicular to the direction of the boards, with joints taped to prevent movement.
In many cases yes, laminate can be laid over existing hard surfaces such as tiles, vinyl, or even old laminate, provided the surface is flat, level, firm, and in good condition. It is generally not suitable to install over soft or spongy surfaces such as carpet underlayment, as this causes the locking joints to flex and fail over time. Our team will assess your existing floor and advise on the best approach before any work begins.
Standard laminate flooring is not recommended for bathrooms or areas prone to standing water, as the core is typically made from a wood-based material that can swell and warp when exposed to moisture. For wet areas, luxury vinyl tile or waterproof LVP flooring is a far more suitable alternative. If laminate is used in a bathroom regardless, rugs should be placed around the shower and bath to minimise water contact with the floor.
The cost of fitting laminate flooring in the UK varies depending on room size, subfloor condition, and the quality of the product chosen. Labour costs for professional fitting typically start from around £5 to £10 per square metre, with overall project costs rising depending on the extent of preparation required.
