Hi all

i have used a few methods over the years and touch wood no probs but it seems now that customers with new floors are arguing when I tell them that it has to be overlaid...

Hi, I have some limestone to do soon and was wondering what would be the way to go ? The guy has had the existing chipboard replaced with new chipboard. I was then going to fix Hardie Backers (can use either 6mm or 12mm) to get the floor nice and solid. My main question is should I also use...

Hi,
