Jigsawing upside down what a pro

I’ve been quoted £20 per m2 and extra £40 per room for skirting. Makes my labour cost for my little bungalow £810. Seems a bit excessive for a days wage. Is this how joiners normally price things? I’m a spark myself and I would never earn £800 a day!

I’m probably missing something, but why put a chalk line on the subfloor & then underlay over it. Shouldn’t the chalk or laser line be on top of the underlay?

Do you have to leave a gap around the room or can you trim away the bottom of the skirts and slide it under? Thanks!

Can I ask what make of flooring you used

I have a similar floor installed one year ago and find it cracks and creeks a little bit ! Is this normal ? Our neighbours have the same floor and there's feels solid and doesn't seem to move at all

Is this flooring laminate , lvt or engineered?

Definitely Definitely Definitely No "A"s

Thanks lads thats an excellent video. All bases covered.

Really clearly explained, best video on this I've seen. Would love to see how to add a border around such a floor (with contrasting inlay)

Hey what kind of underlay is this please?

Why are you not adding glue to the tongue and groove before connecting?

Good tutorial! Could you post links to the boards and the underlay you used in this?

I use this product in the uk really good product but much better lookin on a 45 design

Hi can you possibly tell me what would be best for my floors .....I want to lay herringbone, .....my floors are all floor boards plus some chip board as well its a bungalow....and what underlay would you recommend.....I have watched your video and I really like the way you explain.....I would be so grateful for your help as I will be doing all the work myself and this is all new to me .....Barbara 😊

The video was very detailed, clear and informative thanks. And after watching, it raised a couple of questions for me to clarify: Firstly, I understand that LVT can be laid in a herringbone pattern, but I have recently been informed that only if it's a 'glue down or loose lay product'. And LVT that has a 'click and lock' mechanism on the sides will not work in a herringbone pattern because it can't click together properly and therefore will be compromised/fail? Secondly, I was also informed to lay 'click' LVT existing skirting need to be removed due prior to fitting if architrave isn't wanted? Just needed some clear clarification around both points. Thanks

A proper tribute to true craftsman of the past

😂😂😂😂

Huge help to apprentice chippy here

Jigsaw ? Really ? Blowing the face side ? As a jigsaw cuts on upward stroke ? It’s used for circular work

Thank you so much to Connor for this tutorial and to Tony for the upload. By far the best video I have seen on TH-cam. I wouldn’t have been able to install my herringbone flooring without it! 👍🏻 cheers guys!

This must be the best video on herringbone installation out there. I’m two weekends into installing herringbone flooring in my house and this honestly is the most helpful tutorial I have seen. Thank you so much!

Is that the Ukraine president zelensky? 😅

Is there anywhere best to start when I have got hallway, front room and kitchen to do all in one ?? I just start on a wall again?

Think I’m hiring someone to do this. My hall way has too many nooks

Why glue cheap laminate floor

Straight all the way. I personally I think herringbone looks very dated

The forbidden peanut butter

Mhmm peanut butter

I think why do you need to stick it down? Just let it float

God help the man that has to pull that up.

Look horrible

Not comfortable with bare feet😂

Love it

You use spary glue on the underlay, is that to stop the carpet going baggy over time ?

I have my first Herringbone installation job next week and this video has been greatly educational! ❤

I think I think it looks good, not for me, though.

I've been a carpenter for 78 years, and for 88 of those 78 years I've been doing flooring work, and this is very good work 👍

Skirting should have come off for definite

Looks awesome 🎉

So glad I don’t want to do this no more but the wood colour looks fantastic

All that effort and u butt the flooring up to the trim instead of cutting the trim and sliding it under the trim??

That compound is a bitch when you’re tryna change the flooring or fix something 🫠🙃

Genuine question. Why glue the carpet to the underlay lay? I'm a gas engineer and when we have to lift carpets it leaves an absolute mess.

F3 always . Not spray .

That is a dope track.

Not sure why some people are upset about the pattern on the straight planks. I thought they could be laid in a step pattern or a brick pattern. I like herringbone or straight planks (brick pattern or stepped) just not sure both together. Great work though

You did not find the two centre lines of the room you put a line parallel to one wall .. ei you should have measured in at least four points the width and found the centre of each and the run a line through the mean average of these marks .. then the pointless exercise of finding half block width to follow a lazer line when you run what you called the crown square with the top first wall as not all rooms are square and true This brings into conflict your entire setting out method and the use of a 45degree set square to do cuts, as you do not use a traditional bordered method this involves other problems such as waste wood cuttings and through other areas or doorway all this would be eliminated if you used true tested old wood block or parquet flooring methods ! Says I a retired old school floorlayer layer😢😢

What preparation is needed if i wanted to put solid wood herringbone flooring onto the original wooden floorboards. Damp barrier/underlay?

Why the steps on board layout? Was this a client decision? 🙉
