LVT over laminate

Was asked today to ply over a full ground floor of laminate & then lay LVT over. I refused
Would anyone have done it?

 

No

 

Not a chance

 

Your own customer?

 

No mate for a well respected company I sub to! Most of my work is from them but the estimater is a bit of a nugget and often run into problems. But my mind was blown away today when I turned up to start prepping. Initially thought it was uplift & ply thinking the uplifts just been missed off the job sheet. Only for the customer to inform me the estimators told him we will just ply over the top and fit it. I told him no chance it needs to come up only to find out it’s a concrete subfloor. Approx 80sqm job. Walked away and lost a weeks work!

 

Ouch, no chance of doing that!

 

So are they getting someone else in to do it ?
Or rip up and latex ?

 

Thermoplastic tiles underneath so waiting for them to be tested before we proceed

 

Very sensible. 9" or 300x300 ?
The amount of times ive just run at those with a long scraper, and flicked them up off the floor.

 

9 inch mate a nice blue and brown pattern haha

 

Ah, bet you can put fags out on them without leaving a burn mark
Maybe just a buff and polish then

 

Ply over laminate. That’s a good one. Flip n heck
