If your glueing the junkers down I’d imagine it will need to go down into 6mm Ply, chipboard doesn’t have the tensile strength for when the Junkers try’s to move.

You need a specific damp meter for measuring moisture in a concrete subfloor, not a general moisture meter, something like a protimeter or hydrometer box for a true reading. As for adhesive, we use High Temp adhesives on all our installs nowadays, Karndeans guarantee will only be valid if you...

Well worth giving the floor some time to settle, a good couple of seasons may well allow it to settle significantly. We have just done this with my parents 25 year old Pergo Laminate in their bedroom following a shower leak from the Ensuite. It's taken about a year but the boards have all...

No, you don’t use adhesive underlay with Solid wood.

Glue or secret nailing does not use underlay, you would fix directly to your Ply Preparation. Floating will require an underlay, ply prep of the floor will achieve best results then float the floor, or if boards are good, float on underlay over that. All three methods require expansion gaps...

What type of flooring are you laying in the area and how level is the concrete?

Is this a floating LVT you had fitted or glue down?

Sheet vinyl should be able to loose lay with sealant around the edge, if you perimeter fix it, just spray suitable spray adhesive onltwo adjoing sides of the room allowing the vinyl to expand if it needs to.

I'd go with Packexe, we have replaced quite a few carpets over the years that had been protected with DIY store protector that had left all sorts of residues and bleed through writing etc on the carpet underneath

As long as you allow expansion for the laminate, you can seal 'behind' the skirts however you need.

Absolutely

You need 2 x self adhesive flat cover plates 2x Z edges 1x self adhesive square edge/lip As to if you can get those in wood effect, have a look at the one 2 one website, they may have the self adhesive bars in wood effect, only way to meet the carpets would be a end profile and finish the...

You can use Grip Fill to glue down flat plate based door profiles, just put some weight on while the adhesive sets. There are faster actingbadhesives available like Flexi-Fix too. The top picture is what you need for doorways to carpets, depends what the other floorings are that run off the...
