Should I cut around the cat or wait until she moves?
Cut the cat
Make sure you have used a double sided tape to stick her bottom down and slowly you cut around her 😂
Pieter timmerman
If my cat does not like the flooring it ain't going down. Cat approved. Dog tested.

OMG , I never thought I could manage to do any flooring. I’ve done my kitchen and it looks amazing. Thank you very much ❤️❤️
Just plan out carefully and take your time before cutting. The old standby rule... Measure twice before cutting once. Count on some unexpected snags when doing the work, just simply count on it. It's rarely as smooth and clear a job as show by pros in videos, particularly for first timers.
Enjoy your new floor.
Oh, you've already done it. Never mind.
you comment on so many flooring videos. how many floors do you have???
Farideh Eidi is it expensive and where did you buy yours from
@@montag4516 Measure twice, cuss once?
Blessed to find this video. My mother hired a shade tree person to do her bathroom floor. He put it off till later. Thanks to you I’m gonna do it myself.
Aww we're so glad you found it helpful! 😊 You can do it when you B&Q it! 🧡
How hard was it?
Thank you for the tips. Now I know how to go around a toilet, sink etc. Watching you cut the vinyl was very helpful. I like the caulking you used on the edges. I have seen too many floors laid without the caulking and yes, water does eventually get under the vinyl floor. :)
🧡
I had a wood look sheet vinyl installed in my kitchen, dinnet and laundry room, and my daughter told me it looked better than my 14 year old laminate
Had no idea about the tape. Will be buying me some and that spray. I am redoing my kitchen and i will be doing it myself. Wish me luck👌🏽
Break an egg!
Did you finish?
@@FIREcrochethairstyles he died
What tape?

I like these kind of videos, informative and a good reference guide.thankyou.
Great video, Just what I needed to do my bathroom. Thanks for sharing.
That is total non sense to use it in the bathroom
@@Noname-ni8qm Why?
Use a hook blade around pedestal, also when doing the small cuts use carpet scissors so much easier than going upwards with knife as in this demo.
You go downwards with knife
Cracking good video thanks.
When your cutting around a sink/toilet, I found easier with a steel edge, such as that from a combination try square. Flat on the floor and pushed against the edge of the pedestal makes for a more accurate cutting of the slots. The try square, still pushed against the edge, makes for clean cut around the pedestal profile. I used a Stanley for cutting.
I find it easier to remove the sink and toilet. I also don't pay too much attention to the overall cut and just nail down some shoe to cover the edges.
@@marcusanderson6131Yep. That's the best way to do it
Thank you for this tuition. It was really thorough.
Thank you very much!! Excellent.
He makes it look so easy...different when you come to do it yourself..
I have no idea how I got here. Happy I did. This dude is super cute!!! And he's pretty proficient with his tools. I'd hire him!
Spray adhesive is messy and a pain in the arse to clean up. Use cardboard or scrap material to shield the wall while spraying. When using the adhesive tape alone, clean the surface with alcohol to ensure no oil or residue prevents a positive bond. When caulking for the first time, use painters tape to get a crisp clean edge. This step shouldn't be rushed as it is the finishing touch on your project. Tape the floor and wall 1/4" from the joint. As stated use a tool or wet finger to smooth out and push the caulk into the void. Try to do this along the edge in one stroke. Using a wet finger you'll have time to smooth it out completely. As you can clearly see in the video their caulking is terrible sloppy. No crisp, clean edges. It easy to see they rushed this vital and visible step. If color matching caulk isn't available, use a clear caulk for best results. When using clear caulk any jagged or slightly short cuts will be visible. As always use the proper caulk for the job. They're not all equal.
Always cut away from yourself. Ensure nobody is within an arm's length and a half to ensure any slip of your cutting doesn't result in the injury of another. I've seen first hand someone slipping and slicing the hand and arm of someone working next to them. There was a lot of blood, sixty stitches, scars all totalling over 14 inches, nerve damage, and two additional surgeries to fix tendons and ligaments. In total it took Janette over 18 months to recover most of the use of her hand. All because one individual was careless. That was over fifteen years ago. Janette never fully recovered. She is still coping with the permanent damage and physical scars.
Cheers from Seattle!!!
Thanks for the cheerful prognosis Dr Cameron.
Thanks so much for a great video.
I've done my floor exactly like that without looking up how to do it!
It makes me feel good.
you should feel good, well done Ekaterina
Wow this was so informative! Thanks.
One of the best DIY videos regarding Vinyl floor. Thank you.
Greetings from Portugal.
I paid a guy £50 and saved all this work. Remember kids, like the philosopher once said "Can't someone else do it?"
Didn’t they end up moving the town 5 miles down the road?
You are amazing and love how you explained things, great job and thank you.
Thank you 😊🧡
HI B AND Q THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR AGES 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome! 😁
Thanks for the upload... I'm laying vinyl flooring in my kitchen... didn't know u need to leave it for 24 hours b4 gluing also using the spray glue and double sided tape together... thanks 👍
it looks very good
Great video! Going to lay a checkered floor in my little vintage camper using your tips! XO
I did it...did it this morning...only took me about 1 hour...used your tips with the tape and bought the spray adhesive too! Thanks so much looks great!!!
I was going to have a go at wooden floor but expensive and not my house but floor seriously needs tidying up! Bought a wood saw but I'm an accident waiting to happen so thinking if doing this. Looks probably easier than it is. Half of decorating is the prep! But looks like I'll go for it.. thanks for the tips ❤

Glad you've found this video helpful! You can do it 🧡
Very good advise.... Thanks for sharing
wow thank u for this informative vid; I was going to cover up old and dirty tiles that I tried using but I guess it is better to get that all cleaned up first, its a mess and I hate carpets; vinyl flooring looks gorgeous.
You're very welcome! We agree! Vinyl flooring is lovely 😍
Excellent thank you
Wow! Very straight forward
Thank you!
You're welcome! We're glad you enjoyed our video 😄
Very good mate 👍 I'm going to try this in my bathroom I have to say I'm not comfortable cutting around the toilet but I have to learn thank you you've been very helpful
👱🐶👏
Take toilet out, then screw back in
Thanks mate, I layed my toilet, bathroom/shower,kitchen,foyer,laundry and the dining room, best video to follow
👌👍 super you explain very smoothly and nicely thank you 🙏
You are welcome 😊
Well I think I can give that a go!
that looks great
Very nice! The double tape idea is awesome! I will do this this weekend; on my Sun Porch! Thanks for posting! 👍😀👍
Did you Do it?
+menina Yes, I did!! My nephew carried the vinyl, for me because, it was very heavy for me! In some areas; since it was measured perfectly, lays down flat! You may run out of tape! Don't panic because once you put the furniture on it, it looks simply beautiful! 👍⭐👍
love how you followed your own safert advice , always cut away from you , never leave the blade extracted
Safety first ✅
Its very good tutorial and ideal for all the same technicians we are the same but ill do to show you how you diong best god bless you my friend
This is helpful. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the video. we are laying vinyl flooring in a trailer home kitchen and this was very helpful.
I am about to do this tomorrow also do you have any tips how did it go for you.
Extremely helpful info. Thanks😍
You're welcome 🥰
Never seen using double sided tape!!! Will be using this technique! Thanks!
No you won't.
Amber Abundantly Favoured chances are it will bleed through
This is a Great Video I am doing my bath room this weekend. Wish me Luck !!
Thanks so much - the soothing voice helps!
You're so welcome! A voice fit for ASMR XD
Can we have video for commercial vinyl sheeting please? Cannot find any training course in Sydney, thanks
Thanks so much for this video extremely helpful!!!🤩
Great vid. My issue is my linoleum has not been stored well. Now that I'm prefitting it there are many lumps. How do I go about getting it flattened out when I glue it down? Any help is appreciated..
At 4:12, you hold up a vinyl cutter. I have looked everywhere, including the B&Q site, and can find no such tool... What, exactly, is it called, and where can it be purchased?
hi are u put under RUG PAD (IM DO BESTMENT FLOOR ) my floor is wood.thank
Is the dampness test just needed so that at the time of installation the subfloor is dry, or is it necessary for the subfloor to by dry going forward after installation?
Both.
If you got wet floors there's probably an under lying problem
Most excellent video...sense of achievement after getting it done. Watch the videos, and 'When you do it, B&Q it🤗🤗' 😎😎
Glad we could help! Thank you for your lovely feedback 😁🧡
Good job thank-you
yayyy! i was looking for an inexpensive way to do my floors!
Yaaaay me too
Me too!!!!
nice video
They did a great job
Fantastic job done
Thank you 🥰
nice description.. specifically list of tools required is mentioned at end of the video.. 👍
Can you install vinyl sheet flooring over top a floor that already has vinyl sheet flooring?
Thank you very much
Could this method (double sided tape) be used if the subfloor is tiled with underfloor heating?
very nice presentation.
I like those floating floorboards, i am using them now for my toilet room,..just getting the floor plined now, get it down before my new loo comes in.
Ooo! How exciting 🙌 Be sure to tag us on Instagram when it's completed! We'd love to see 😊
@@bandq will do, we are just doing the walls now, then floor then put new loo in..ours was very dated omg you have no idea..yuck.
Jolly good video... Govneer
thank you Senator
very nice , thank you
Can Lino be placed on a tiled floor. What’s the best thing to do with cracked and broken, parts missing, of a tiled floor before placing the Lino flooring?
So educational!!
Excellent tutorial .... respect from India
you should put the products that you used below in the comments section. great video tho- best one i found on here.
Glad you liked the video! That's a good suggestion, we'll pass that along as feedback - thanks!
Been lying lino all my life, very good video I must emphasise the importance of the floor been clean and level, if not you have the problem when I first started of relaying it all again, anything will show up on the lino if it is not entirely clean dust and damp free.
😊
Perfect thanks!
Thankyou!
Vinyl is KING !
😁👑
Luar biasa rapi n tepat ukurannya thanks sahabat
What was on the floor before you laid the vinyl sheet? Was that the sub floor or was that an overlay?
Hey! Love your content ;)
좋은 정보 감사합니다
You're welcome 😊
Does a small perimeter need to be left for any possible expansion for sheet vinyl?
very nice
Hi found your video very helpful just had a questions can all the materials like double tap and spray still be use on top on carpet ?
Hi, Jaquelin. Thanks for your query!
Unfortunetly no they cannot be used on top of carpet. The subfloor must be a levelled, hard surface that's clean and dust free. Hope this helps! 😊
For what was the spray before the tape? How is it called? Thank you! Great video btw
You have to get "vinyl flooring spray adhesive", make sure it's for vinyl florring. Many spray adhesives are for carpet only. I got some on Ebay for my existing flooring, but it's quite expensive. The Diall product in the video is no longer available at B&Q for some reason. Shame because it was dirt cheap.
Should I use the same caulking around my toilet as I do the walls?
Thankyou helpful as cheers
Watch out for that spray you might feel very happy after the job is finish
what is the spray you used under the tape, i can not find it in any shop, could you please give the name/
We have a Dyson vacuum cleaner which can suck the bark off a tree, I found that the previous vinyl sheet flooring layed was sucked up in the middle of the floor causing the vacuum to cut out, is it ok use spay adhesive all over the floor?
Very helpful video. I'm going to have to replace the vinyl laid down by my cowboy builder! I can only surmise he must have hand poor eyesight & measuring was not his forte ! Wish me luck 🤞
yup I had the same prob done by a carpet and flooring store!! This time I feel confident to do a proper job myself, wish me luck too!!
@V Good Luck ☘️
Nice job
Interesting
Question is it ok to insulate the floor before I drop the vinyl? my house needs insulation it's super cold. A lot of the cold comes from under the home. I will insulate under the home also. But is it ok?
good Job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much for the great video! You demonstrated how to test the dampness issue, but did not elaborate on how to rectify it (in a DIY manner), if there was one. Could you elaborate on that, please?
@@bandq Thanks, Shaz!
Do you happen to have a link to the vinyl cutter? Iv looked in your website but can't seem to find one.
very good
I wish you have a video of epoxy flooring...cause you have the best educational video I've seen... many thanks
I'm planning to,but all I see is commercialism. Not really DIY not like your videos... many thanks
hmm...so how do you fit a T bar or threshold bar in the door way.
You cut it to length and either glue it down or use double stick tape. Not hard.
I ring my mate hes a carpet and vinyl fitter🤣i tryed cutting around toilet and it went wrong i ripped vinyl had to by another piece its not as easy as it looks 👍
Thank you! Did one of my bedroom
Good job 👏
What was the spray he used to help the double sided tape adhere to the floor? Will it work over concrete or do I need to prep the concrete with a sealer? Is it a specific kind of spray adhesive?
@@bandq No, not the sealant, the aerosol spray adhesive. It helped the double sided tape stick to the floor. Can you use just the adhesive for the flooring? I will be laying the floor over concrete. I was assuming the aerosol spray adhesive just helps the tape stick to the floor but not sure if it's strong enough to use by itself as far as sticking to the flooring.
Great instructional video
Thank you! 😊
I want to do a living room, a small kitchen and the corridors in the same style vinyl, if I bring in the measurements/floor plan into the shop will it be cut to measure?
Pepita Underthesun if there is a pattern be sure to allow for pattern match in doorways ie if plank effect so they line up nicely
Can’t wait to get mines , I wonder if we could quick shine/ polish these ?
bandq Thanks so much ❤️
Watching again since I need to lay more sheet vinyl and I'd completely forgotten some of this info. I have since acquired a toilet jack so the toilet can be moved out of the way rather than cut around. I intend to caulk around the flange where it meets the sheet vinyl to make sure no water goes underneath. Instead of knee pads (which don't seem to fit me right) I'm going to use an anti-fatigue mat that can be moved around.
How did you get on? 😊🛠
@@bandq Still need to work on it. Have to pick up lumber on a day its not raining. I'll update after I work on it, but it's not high priority with all the other stuff we need to fix first.
