Laminate before or after plastering is done around new doors?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.27 PM
We have had new doors fitted in. Plastering needs to be done around it. The laminate also needs to go down. The plasterer is not available for a couple of days and I was thinking of starting with laying the floor to save time then cover the floor up so it doesn’t get dirty. Wise or not?

I would always recommended flooring after plastering to avoid any damages or mess been created on the new floor

Most plastering jobs are done with floor coverings already in place. As long as the flooring is well covered you shouldn’t have a problem

It is best to plaster first but if it is only a small area you could lay the floor first use corex sheets then on top a dust sheet and if your plasterer is careful there should be no problem.

Hi there always plaster first you won’t damage the flooring but moisture after skimming could cause a problem
