This is what I put down through both rooms and in the passage.
It cost me £350. I laid it myself.
Not the one in the picture mind, that's just for illustration.

You fit? 3m2?
Modern laminate is spot on, piece of piss to fit too. if you go for decent stuff. Got 12mm fitted in mine all through the ground floor. Paid extra for the waterproof stuff and its spot on. Make sure your floor is spot on mind or it can drop. Used 5mm foam underlay squares to and it works well. Take the skirting off before you lay it, dont use the beading as it looks shit.

We got Karndean fitted in our bathroom and en suite by Bartrams and delighted with their quality of workmanship and service provided and would definitely use them again

They have a very good reputation and it’s not unfounded.

Good luck with the ‘waterproof’ laminate! There’s zero chance of me fitting it anywhere near water.
You in the trade? fitting? Supplying?
We were recommended them as/before they opened their place on Team Valley.
Dropped a few samples off at ours for a few days when he came to measure up so we could see them in different lights but wasn't pushing us to choose their stuff, at the time was happy with just fitting if that's what we wanted but we chose their stuff in the end. It looks & feels good.

Got two rooms done with in downstairs, can't fault it at all, it's been down 8 years or so, going to get the living room done with it soon.
30 hours waterproof it said on the packaging, iv had few “accidents” in the kitchen and its been ok. I agree though the cheaper stuff is shite when water gets near it. Thats why i went for this expensive “waterproof” laminate.

No just a victim!
We had laminate from Howden’s laid in 2012 in a hallway, study, kitchen, small utility and downstairs toilet. We had leaks in toilet and kitchen. We relaid with plywood and vinyl in the toilet.
I think that the ‘waterproof’ laminate has to be glued together to make more of a seal, but ours wasn’t.
When there was a leak in the kitchen we were lucky because there was a edging strip that I could take up to replace the damaged section.
We have probably got some value for money from it over 8/9 years so we’re going for vinyl planks/tiles after we have some of the floor levelled.

We have it from the front door through the hall and into the kitchen. Designed the layout and pattern, to match the rooms so it flows right through. Included a feature compass in the porch. It makes it unique to your house.
We used the Sunderland Carpet Centre in Fulwell, a good local family business, great quality and service.

I think that’s the walnut stuff that was in here when we moved in, made the place very dark and small. Ripped it up
and replaced it with Engineered Boards. Used it upstairs in the spare bedrooms instead. Tight norvern bastard that I am.
