Thank you all. Robot lawn mover it is (when I get there). Just been looking at the cost of loose topsoil £45 per tonne, over £3k in total for 400m2x100mm=72.00 tonnes. Does this seem correct? Thanks

Thank you all. @Mr Punter I'm not sure. The photo is from the last year and I've had rubbished skipped on a few occassions. I've got a feeling it was off-cuts from the floorboards that we used in the loft. @Thorfun I'm not sure but it's definitely not clay. It's a lot more sandy/gritty. According to AI, it could be sandy loam. Interested you mention manure. I've seen a sign somewhere in the area (have to go for a drive to find it) saying take as much horse manure as you need for free. Could get that and dumped it on my site. Can't wait to move in.

Thanks, It's rubbish from our new self-build. There's no asbestos. There's a quite a lot of cardboard, wood, mdf and laminate and LVT flooring waste.

Thank you. Will check out the videos later tonight. I agree needs to be done properly. Photo from last year. It's well overgrown now. Will be getting a digger to remove the top layer and levelling it before spreading the top soil. I take it there's two ways to spread the top soil, digger and manually using a wheel barrel? What should be the depth of the top soil for seeding, 100mm? I googled lawn seed and realised they come in a few varieties. What type would you recommend? Thanks

Hi. We have hired a digger with a driver to excavate the top layer as it's overgrown and has rubbish. Is it just a matter of levelling the top soil and adding some fertiliser before seeding or turfing? Would it better to seed or turf (expensive) the large 400m2 garden? Is this the September/October right time to seed/turf? Thanks

My joiner used expanding glue (I believe it was D4) and a nail gun.

Hi We have UFH with liquid screed poured on top. I recently had a quote for glue down LVT. I got told that glue down LVT does not stick well enough directly to liquid screed even if the laitance is removed (whether by sanding or grinding). He said it'll start peeling off after a year or so. He insisted that we prime and then pour a couple of mm self levelling compound on top of the existing screed before installing glue down LVT. What do you guys think? Is he correct? Thanks

Thanks @Conor Yes, it's flexi supply pipe. The toilet is not yet fitted to supply so I'll run the herringbone lvt completely under it. Thanks

Thank you @Mr Punter

Hi We are fitting LVT in a new bathroom. Should the LVT (herringbone - click type) be put under or around the toilet and basin pedestal? Both toilet and basin with full pedestal are not yet fitted. Thanks

Apologies for late reply. Thank you for the suggestions. It looks option A it is.

Metal Frame.

Hi We are considering laying herringbone design LVT on first floor of our self build house. What would be the ideal direction of the herringbone in hallway and from hallway into bedrooms? Option A, B, C or D (something different) Thanks

I was considering going for loose-lay LVT, which is about 5mm thick. The glue-down LVT is about 3mm.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Good to know about LVT shiny/matt textured finishes. I can go round and scrape off all the blobs of plaster using a metal scraper and vacuum the floor after. Would it need to be more smoother than that. If so, then the floor would need need lightly sanding?
