Went to look at one of my callouts today to a pub, it has some kind of wood flooring down. Its cupping redivuliously bad that its pushed together so much its raised 12 inches off the floor. What would you do in this situation?
Its solid not engineered mate and I would tell them to rip out the subfloor, tank it and put down tiles or engineered!
Shows how much wood i do. Yeah shocking just ove quoted at labour only on job as a lad does wood for me a little over priced aint the word told them to call "builder back".
Most of the pictures look like solid maple, third picture could be engineered maple, I would imagine the toilets have backed up the manhole and caused the problem, the brown stains seem to give it away Builder must have laid it as I see signs of grip fill stuck to the floor Normally what they will want is a temporary fix until the insurance company gets involved, whole lot will need replacing Stick back the strips with a flexible adhesive like b95 and cut the last board in, as short term fix! Get them to fix the leak, toilet problem which is causing the back up of the drains , then do the full works, DPM and new wood, maybe 22mm engineered It will all need replacing
A flooring firm fitted it, found out today. They put gripfill down on back of boards where concrete meets wood and gripfilled ply down ontop of concrete. Its cupping all over the wood areas. A chippys done a quick fit round the corner by cutting planks down on width and screwing them into the floor. Ive put a quote in lets see what happens.
looks like dpm issue. One photo shows what looks like sulphate on the concrete. What i can say for sure is it moisture from the underside of flooring.
Yeah. Personally its a tricky one. I never got it lucky enough got email earlier saying my quote was declined. Loveeeely.
sometimes it's better to lose those ones,if you price them properly there will always be someone cheaper prepared to cut a corner.
I'd be well pleased NOT getting that job...thats a proper bag of rats...if they put solid down again it will fail, some jobs just aren't worth getting !!
