At B&Q on a Sunday morning at 10. Now, that’s commitment Mr. Griffin. You must have had a coffee before?!? Have to say, lovely little job and I don’t mind the camera work considering. If anything, I’m surprised you filmed at all. I couldn’t be arsed if I was on my own. And remember, all the little errors you make are only as good as the ones you cover up! Nobody would have a scooby! 👍🏼👌🏼

[@paulglaser649]

Wonderful video. No nonsense approach. Love it !

[@Nash33ds]

Top bloke, it'd take me 2 hours to just buy the laminate!

[@martynaslukas4340]

took us two weeks to choose laminate...

[@Time2Wonder70]

You did well with a camera and working William, good job 👍

[@rodgerq]

Quick AND good quality. That means only one thing 😎👌

[@ozzyefc44]

Brilliant work and tips as usual Liam 👍

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

These buildings of yours look amazing

[@MrAidanfleming]

I always start one board away from the wall, then ping a line and temp screw 2x1 down so you can tap the laminate against a solid surface, i always check the width of the room so that there’s not a 10mm rip at the other end from where you start. Also I leave 5-10mm gap as skirting is 12-15mm!

[@thegardenroomguru]

Skirting is 18mm , I like to take a gamble

[@-_AjB_-]

'Architrives' look good 😉

[@Steveo1967-p8i]

Another great video will 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mozzer999]

You used wood glue on the architrave joint ..can I recommend 'mitre bond' or similar (2 part superglue). Rock solid on MDF and takes 10 seconds for full strength. Great for those with no patience 😉 drawback is you can't adjust it.....I glue up a joint at 45degrees ( no measuring part degrees) and the suppleness/ bendy nature of MDF means it can be pinned exactly into place

[@andriuskalnikas4646]

Hi william, can you put me on top of the waiting list for your plans, as soon they’re available I will buy a set for my garden room. Thanks mate you are the best, keep doing what you doing best...

[@sam-dn9hr]

Well I have finished my friends job and have almost finished my hot tub pergola, but Im covered in slate paint and sawdust :) Again thanks for the tips! Im a bit drunk right now so excuse the spelling hahaha

[@Mr2945Mercian]

Nice 👌🏽

[@iancollinge2254]

Great work👍🏻

[@soltisolti]

Great video, thanks

[@raminybhatti5740]

Do B&Q not accept unopened laminate flooring packs, or is just opened ones they don't take back?

[@catmiaoow]

So if I need to replace my laminate floor due to cracks in it do I need to remove skirting? What’s the easiest way to do it if the laminate goes under skirting ? Thanks

[@craigrobinson7113]

Top videos mate

[@theone3403]

Surely it would be best to paint the walls, fit the architrave and then do the laminate to avoid get the flooring dirty or damaged?

[@thegardenroomguru]

No mate, you need to fit the floor first so the skirting covers the expansion gap

[@sambrazier393]

Hi William great videos mate I've just started making mine in the garden 12ft x 7. I've got a question about rubber roofing. I've just brought mine and they give you contact adhesive which is meant to go round 100mm in from perimeter but I've noticed on your videos you just use the water based adhesive all over? Why is this? Could I do the same? Thanks 👍

[@thegardenroomguru]

Sam Brazier a guy from a suppliers once called me and I asked him how much was the contact adhesive? He said why do you want it? Your glueing the rest, then mechanically fixing the edge with the trims🤷🏻‍♂️ made sense, never used it since, not had any issues

[@sambrazier393]

Thanks mate I thought exactly the same! I'll do without it then 👍

[@aaronbell8527]

Could you put mask in tape under the skirting befor painting or will it be a night mere

[@thegardenroomguru]

Aaron Bell paint it, use a wonder wipe on a packer to wipe it away🙌

[@kamranhussain09]

Hi. I’ve watched every video and love your explanations as I’m building my own garden office. Can the hollow soffit take LED downlights? Are they rigid enough and heat proof? Thanks Kam

[@thegardenroomguru]

Yes, no problem, but use led bulbs

[@ellis350]

Great video as per usual. Have you thought about offering vinyl click flooring? Bit dearer but more durable as I have found.

[@thegardenroomguru]

the flooring is in with the price mate, got a vinyl to do next month

[@anandgupta3831]

what is modeling in skirting ?

[@abuasfur7334]

Hi mate quick question, when you nail the skirting into the wall, are the nails fixing to the plasterboard ? If so, do the nails get a good hold in the plasterboard?

[@brendancoyle4643]

How long have you been doing this? You make it look so simple, that would be at least a day for me🤣

[@thegardenroomguru]

ive fit a lot of floors in my time, surprised the knees have not given up yet

[@roybarber7805]

Will, what do you do to finish where the door meets the laminate?

[@thegardenroomguru]

18mm anthracite quad mate

[@marcopetrillo6867]

If you build the floor up with some osb you can achieve a flush finish with the door threshold. Extra time and cost, definitely not required, but can give a nice detail.

[@garethwilliams4886]

Hi William Any thoughts on doing an L shaped roof with falls to the back sides.

[@thegardenroomguru]

Yeah, will work, without seeing it, I don’t know if furrings might be the way to go

[@garethwilliams4886]

Was thinking I might have to do a shallow hip structure at the back where the two roofs meet. I'll work it out. Thanks for reply, much appreciated.

[@Leonard_Smith]

I might have missed it but did you film this video on your own? 🤣

[@EcoMan-te4vu]

I wondered the same 🙃

[@slinky576]

B and q are horrendous for flooring buddy, that problem with the narrower boards is common on top of the numerous packs that are bowed! We as a company don’t fit any flooring from there at all these days as we’ve had numerous problems on fits where customers have sourced their own flooring from there! It’s utter garbage, especially the 8mm stuff.

[@marcopetrillo6867]

11:10 we've all done that before!

[@thegardenroomguru]

[@mejustanormalguy4742]

I do it on purpose If I ain't set chop saw up not cutting it twice

[@thegardenroomguru]

Like your style 🙌

[@brskcool]

Are you a carpenter by trade mate did you do an apprenticeship

[@thegardenroomguru]

an old school joiner took me out for a year, I then jacked and went out on my own

[@kieranklaplastering5947]

Great vids from another local workman .you ever get stuck for a local plasterer give me a call be nice knocking a few of these off for a change .I come well recommended just look me up on Facebook

[@arselickerfc9316]

Bit of caulk bit of filler lad can’t be having that mindset when people are paying for a quality job
