A classroom example of using a trimming knife skillfully. Camera angles were great, exposing the detail close up. I'm about to embark on laying Lino for the first time & have viewed multiple videos, but not anymore. Yours is the template & only reference point I need to begin the work with some confidence. Thank you so much for your advice. 👍
Hello mate. Great little vid 👍 I'm a tradesman, but never fitted vinyl before for clients. Not because of lack of skills but just missing a trick on how to use the knife to cut so tight. Now I know. I never ever thought to bend the tip of the hook blade. Jidzooks. I have 3 rooms to do soon so I'm actually feeling emboldened and confident rather than worried. 😅 Thanks Eggy. Appreciated. Little Tip for you. Throw the dustpan away. Get a Henry vac and wide soft brush ends etc. Look after those lungs. I never sweep. Only vac. Cheers buddy 👍.
As a certified floor layer lv 3 mate I tell you what mate it's the screed dust that gets you and F60 best glue in the world better than that tape if your ever doing anything we're it is required and make sure you have a mask for that one tho
@@Mrfloor-eu5nrwhat masks you using buddy? I’m starting to get a bit conscious of what we actually breathe in in this game. Carpet fibres, glue and screws powder just scream health issues down the line
Love your video mate very useful. Gave me a perfect reference to do my own :) Thank you for sharing. At times was hard to hear you over the groovy music, maybe go with something more mellow in future?
Nice to see another actual craftsman make a video and not some doof who decided to wing it one time and think they should share their horrible work with the world.
Quality video 👍. I am about to do the flooring in my bathroom, trying to decide on vinyl or laminate. Any thoughts on the pro's n con's? Not sure what is going to be easier to do \ give the better finish.
Showing my age but is lino still produced? It was considered superior to vinyl but I guess cost to produce won out. Great work, always nice to see someone who takes pride.
Your video was very informative, I think I might tackle the job myself now! Can I ask, if it's a bigger room, is it possible to have a join in the vinyl sheet flooring?
Hi eggy mate, cheers for you videos it helped me lay down vinyl over the weekend 👍 I managed to get a small crease and you advise a heat gun which I don't have but will a hair dryer do it? Do I have to be careful it doesn't stretch and I have a bubble in the middle of the room? Would be great to see a video on this, as your the only that has mentioned this issue in videos
@@eggyfits awesome I’ll have a go 👍 i did see another video of a guy using a wet towel and iron 😬 it definitely worked but I’m worried 😂 oh do you have a video for joining the end of a room into another room on vinyl? Do i lay one over the top and cut both to get the perfect match? Cheers for taking the time out to reply, it’s much appreciated 😊
Thanks for this buddy. I fitted vinyl flooring in our bathroom today using this video. I've never done it before. It's not perfect but I'd of really messed it up with out this tutorial. 😁
Hi is the concrete smooth and clean if it is the same way as this just make sure that when you sweep it it's not really gritty if it is the floor will need latex I have a video on that to hope that helps 👍
The customer knows nothing about flooring, so tell them what it needs...!! 5.5mm flooring grade plywood fixed with ringshank nails. Then, a skim coat of feather finish to cover any joints in the plywood and low spots. When dry rub down and sweep out and use a 1.5mm notched trowel to spread the Fball F44 glue over the whole area. Drop vinyl in place while glue is still wet and square up. And fit with a hook and straight knife job done...🎉 If you can't do the job right, don't do the job and just walk away.

@@eggyfits Nice, I have to do the same as this in my bathroom, I couldn't have picked a better clip to watch for advice, I thought I'd have to slap Evo-Stik everywhere, it's been over 30 years since I last put lino down, used to have to cut it first, then Evo-Stik the floor and lino, then struggle to fit the lino without making any mistakes. But the biggest thing that you've put my mind at rest with is, you laid it straight onto chipboard surface, it's the same as what's down in my bathroom, and so many saying that it should be ply'd first, I just hope I can make as good a job of it as you have here, thanks 👍
@@eggyfits I haven't chosen a lino to go down in my bathroom yet, I was thinking of asking in the shop if they knew anyone who could lay it for me, I'm not too sure if I want to chance my luck at this, it's about the same size bathroom as this, have you got an estimate of how much to expect to pay for someone to fit it?
@@eggyfits Wow, looks like I'll be having a go myself then after all, I hate parting with money when I think there's a chance I can do something myself, thanks.

Yes it's called marmoleum now made by forbo good stuff you need to template it I have a video on it👍
Your video was very informative, I think I might tackle the job myself now!
Can I ask, if it's a bigger room, is it possible to have a join in the vinyl sheet flooring?
Yes if it's a wood effect put the join peace under the main peace and cut through the dark edge of the plank to hide the cut
@@eggyfits Thank you for your reply, I'll have a go!

Awesome Job.

I just hope you didn't fit straight om the the chip board mate you break the boards when it comes to.uplift
wondered why you didn't cut to size. Rather than do it the way you did. looks more complex.
I need a knife like that. About to lay some flooring. And we are extreme amateurs!! Dreading it!!
Love the video how do I put vinyl on concrete flooring??
Hi is the concrete smooth and clean if it is the same way as this just make sure that when you sweep it it's not really gritty if it is the floor will need latex I have a video on that to hope that helps 👍
@@eggyfits ok thanks yes it smooth wht video so I can go watch it thanks
@@NicoleB79 it can be put down the same was as this video 👍
How about clear silicon? Will that not be ideal for this?
You can if you want to spot any accidents leaking under 👍
Hi do I need to cover floor boards with thin sheets of ply wood to smooth it out ?or replace floorboard with 12mm cheap boards sheets?
Hi you can use hardboard or 4mm ply or if the boards are bad 6mm ply
I'm fitting my kids floor for my ex. I've done other flooring and paving before but dam I need your tips thanks for the upload
Glad I could help 🤗
@@eggyfits well I'm putting your tips to the rest tomorrow...thanks again lol
Very nice thank you
Layed on wood, the customer does not want silicone, how do you warranty that?
How do I get the vinyl floor?
What type of knife is that looks like a stanley more than dolphine knife

Where can we book for your services?
I'm based in Devon
Nice
do i need to glue the floor to install this ?
Not everytime the manufacturers even suggest loose lay but "if in doubt glue it out"
Why do we put the tape though, if we are just going to pull it out?
The peace I pull off is just the top layer witch then reveals a sticky layer to stick to the vinyl 👍
No expansion gap?
Expansion gap ? Lol 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ My god I love the DIY dumb dumb generation. Making me rich.
ماهو نوع جيرفليكس للحمام وشكرا
great video but I could not hear it well.
Hoe much you charged for only work like this?
Wht tape is this ?
Yes it's double sided tape!
The first rule of Vinyl fitting is... the floor must be smooth and flat....
The second rule of Vinyl fitting is.... You do not use the Customer's toilet for a shit
If you've gotta go, you've gotta go...
Don't want to smelling that whilst working, nor when showing the client asking for payment!!
Why not losen 2 screws of the toilet, cut the vinyl underneath en put the toilet on the vinyl. Tighten the screws.😮
Skeleton walks up to the bar and orders a beer and a mop .
Are you ambidextrous? You hold the knife in your right hand, yet cut right to left, as though you're left handed.
Yes I can cut with both comes in handy lol

He needs to treat himself to a nice manicure. Treat the hands that make you money.
No knee pads come on
Pads are in the trousers there is a pocket Infront of the knees ware you insert a pad👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
whoever did the grouting and caulking is a horrible job
Should only be one cut .not recutting.. always use a straight blade any other type shows a lack of confidence.and never ever silicone
Why not silicone? What else would you use or recommend?
@@julienakazi9336 just answered your own question??.
How about when your cutting sheets on top of installed material? That’s when ya need a hook, nothin to do with confidence mate
u need more experience but good job lol
