The subfloor is concrete
B&Q told customer to lay and leave a expansion gap.
No need to glue planks, because they'll just be good little planks & NOT bloody move ehh
So he calls me, I ask for the sticky rubber underlay.
I get told .."NO...we've already bought the foil backed underlay
So I get him to buy the decent floor screed glue.( I forget the name)
Anyway I fast notice that's gonna take 10 tubs after i use 1.
So I glue every plank in place on tongues, so it's glued & floating .
I leave a gap around room.
But initially I screw the first row along the wall under where the skirting will go.
As I was fitting the floor alone, it made sense because the planks were slipping around.
So floors finished ..then few months pass and at the hall door the planks are crowning.
I decide to relieve the expansion around the side I screwed and find some screws that were forgotten about and left in.
I remove the screws and the floor lowers.
But I could feel a little bounce at door area.
Now 6 months later, I get told the door isn't shutting .
The floor has crowned.
My thoughts were to remove skirting where I decide.
Check any fowling of floor to wall & sort.
But am I missing summit?
Because of concrete sub floor I didn't secure down.
But I'm thinking should I take the stress out of the floor by doing my initial expansion check etc, then screw down planks say every 1m2 & plug with oak plugs or drill plug and screw then fill with 2 part oak filler?
Some advice would be gratefully received
