New on top of old?

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.32 PM

Can I have new seagrass fitted over old? The reason for doing this would be to keep my old, high-spec acoustic and thermal underlay, and minimise disruption. I'm told it isn't possible to remove old seagrass from the existing underlay.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

no it isn't possible due to British Standards, everything will need removing and new boarding or screeding before starting from scratch.

a carpet cannot be laid on top of exsisting flooring , a new carpet will collect dustmites and when it does u are left with the carpet wearing a lot sooner and causing a smell
