Laminate is springy now..do i need to take it up and put fibreboard down then the underlay then the laminate.......

Need more detail....

Is the floor concrete or something else?
What insulation?
What thickness of insulation?
Who recommended you put down insulation and no underlay?

Sounds like you've gone for a solution suitable for proper floorboards (if you've got battens sitting on insulation).

More detai needed, and this post is in the wrong forum, should be in Floors, Stairs & Lofts. Mods, can you relocate it when you get a minute please

It was a garage with concrete floor with tiles, regs needed insulation, so 25 mm celotex between 25 mm battens, then laminate underlay and then laminate,,, have left small gap all around, I feel there should have been a firmer base to lay the underlay on. Then the laminate,

Old but not dead,,,, sorry it's in wrong place, I find the site quite hard to navigate,took me ages to get this far...... The insulation is between the battens.

Have moved it to floors, I've got the hang of it now,

Sounds like you should of boarded before laying laminate , laminate is too thin to lay on its own

What spacings are your battens at?
