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?

Thanks I take it you used LVT panels that click together?

We are installing epoxy flooring on the Cemfloor screeded ground floor with wet UFH. However, due to cost we are considering fitting ~200m2 of LVT (loose-lay (preferred) or glue-down) on the first floor, which is also Cemfloor screeded with wet UFH. My understanding is Cemfloor, which is cement based, doesn't need sanding. It just needs a good clean and a primer. Furthermore, it should already be level so it doesn't need a self levelling compound or does it? Thanks

Thank you. I was thinking about a front and rear garden walls as well as retaining wall for a patio. Considering the above comments, I think it's a no go. thanks

Hi Quick Google search states "yes, telegraph poles are considered hazardous waste in the UK and must be disposed of by a licensed waste handler." However, many telegraph poles are scattered around on the public footpaths still in service. There's one pole in the corner of our boundary wall, where the driveway/gate would be. Probably, some government organisation out there think telegraph poles are non-hazardous. I was considering buying reclaimed telegraph poles on Facebook marketplace. There are many sellers on there. My intentions are to use the telegraph poles as garden fence posts. Probably, the hazardous rating drops as they are outside? Are telegraph poles hazardous and can they be used as a garden fence post? Thanks

Thanks ProDave Definitely not going to go with the same joiner. I asked him to put the frames right and since then he has stopped answering my calls. I've given up on him. A different joiner is coming out to take a look.
