    There is no way he’s used contact spray. It will vinyl spray. Maybe carpet spray.

    Update from the fitter when asked what glue he has used:

    “The glue we have used is Gemini Grabfast Gold which is a heavy duty contact adhesive. The subfloor and the plan is sprayed with it.

    I am confident that there won’t be any further issues but if there is please give me a call and we will sort anything out.”

    Any thoughts on how I should respond?

    Even I’m not stupid enough to bother asking Amtico...I meant Gemini

    They were predictably evasive in their response!

    Better get your money off the fitter fast. He won’t last long using contact spray glue everyday. Most fitters I know that use that are commercial fitting sheet vinyl

    I will eat my hat if Gemini say their product is guaranteed to stick amtico down.

    Shocking that if they have done the whole job like that. Get Amtico to come out and do a report.

    Just about to throw myself off the top of a tall building over the stark realisation that we (in our defence the builder) have employed real life cowboys and will now have to pull the whole ridiculously expensive floor up after six months of an absolutely torturous building project that we thought we were at the end of and now have every bit of furniture, bar, gym etc etc now in situ. Stressed much

    Only option at this point is to get totally shit faced to block out the pain
