Asking for a friend:

What's the best way to install the click-type laminate flooring along
the face of a 10 foot wide brick faced hearth? It's being installed
long side against the hearth.

He's working on a paper template of the grout joints, etc, but isn't
sure he'll be able to cut the laminate precisely enough for a good
fit. I mentioned caulk, but he said there's red brick, grey brick,
mortar and brown flooring. Not sure if any given color of caulk would
work.

He consider a transition piece as molding, but there would still be
gaps behind that so he's not sure he'd like the look.

Any tips from those that have done it before?

The standard solution is to use a grinder to undercut the brick so the
flooring slides under. It's dusty, and you'll burn through a couple of
grinder disks, depending on how hard your brick turns out to be.
