I have rather tired and badly fitted laminate in three largish rooms and am considering installing new

hassle of disposing of all the old
stuff. Also if I did fit it on top should I use underlay?


What is under the existing stuff. An edition of home under the hammer
(BBC1) viewed a property where laminate had been laid on top of carpet.

That works, but due to having much less support the laminate sounds hollow when walked on. More sensible to not use laminate imho.
