dodgy floor

[bobsy]

recently had extension and layed a good quality laminate floor problem is thought the floor was level were it joined between old & new but apparently not must be a couple of mm out because when you walk over that bit off floor you can feel it bow a little and it is really starting to annoy me big time, would be great just to take the floor up and pack it but the only problem is i layed the floor before i fitted the kitchen because someone had the bright idea off having all the units stand on feet without plinths with the flooring running under all the units,

please save me from taking everything out and starting again when i'v only just finished

Is your new floor concrete?
How soon after did you place laminate?

yes it is conceret base was down for 8 weeks before we bricked up and got the roof on then for weeks with the roof on and a de-humidifier on 24-7

I presume that you did all of this during the wet weather and then roofed soon after.
Concrete takes longer to dry out than you might think, and laid laminate on slightly damp floor although you have put in place, d.p.m.
Did you leave enough expansion around the edges?
Dampness and expansion will cause this
Are your units firmly fixed back to the wall and to each other if so with some hard work you may be able to remove the cabinet legs for a short time enabling you to remove the laminate. Add some props to support the cabinets while you make alterations to the sub floor by adding some type of packing?
I wish you good luck
