Hello everyone new to the forum I want to get in too flooring. What course would you recommend for a total novice ? Any replies I’m grateful for thanks

 

A plumbing or electrical course, it pays better and isn't as hard work

Floorskills and FITA both do courses and are the best around in my opinion.

 

Have you decided which type of flooring you want to start with?

 

Yeah I would like to start with laminate flooring had a go before but I’m DIY level. So would love to learn more

 

What area do you live.

 

I live in derby my friend

 

Fita and Floorskills aren’t to far away for you

 

Yeah I will get in touch with floor skills, I want to learn properly not cowboy style so many of them out there now. I want to laminate my living room will there course give me the skills to do this?

 

Yes 100% you will come away with a lot of knowledge

 

That will be my starting point I know money isn’t a big thing when your learning but what can you get per day as a fitter? £100/150 I’ve been told?

 

Depends on the jobs, but you should usually be able to do 20sqm per day easily at about £12 sqm

 

Thanks for the reply floor skills is where I will be going then

 

I am a qualified electrician and it is the most pain taking job. TRUST ME.

 

To gain flooring knowledge aswell as being an electrician is actually a good trait to have with the huge increase in ufh etc be good to gain skills in both

 

I think every trade should have a basic knowledge of every other trade, I'm not saying to know as much or attempt other trades, but it does help when working with other trades, things like doing jobs in the right order and not doing stuff to make the following trades job harder, but i doubt that will ever happen

 

Had to laugh. We get asked to do all sorts on site.
I once built the walls, and taped and jointed a changing room, just so I could fit the floor.

 

I had a site manager ask me to set a datum line for the whole site once when I turned up to for some carpet tiles and lvt ? Is he having a laugh? Anyone else ever had to do that?

 

I've been asked to fit the flooring, how rude..
