Independent UK flooring inspection
Laminate floor problems
Swollen joints, gaps, bounce, creaking and joints that will not stay locked. Laminate problems are often caused by preparation or conditions, not the board.
- Uneven subfloor causing bounce
- Water or spills at the joints
- Missing expansion gaps
- Wrong underlay
- Damaged locking system
What we do
We check flatness, underlay, expansion gaps and moisture, and inspect the joints. The report explains the cause and whether the issue is a product, fitting or use problem.
We cover the whole UK: London, South East, Midlands, North West, Yorkshire, North East, South West, East of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my laminate bouncy?
- Usually an uneven subfloor or unsuitable underlay. We measure flatness to confirm.
- Is swelling covered by warranty?
- It depends on the cause. Many warranties exclude water damage, so independent evidence matters.
