Laminate flooring is not hard to install, I would say about as hard as
building a green house. I laid the type you glue together this year
(after advice which said the clip together stuff can part and leave ugly
gaps), The flooring was very easy to lay, just annoying and slow at
times when the flooring need to be cut round doors.

The most important thing with this as will all other jobs is good
preparation.

Make sure the surface is flat and lay an underlay.

Let the floor acclimatise for a few days before the floor is laid.

Leave the appropriate gaps round the edges to allow for expansion

If you do glue he flooring together I recommend purchasing a number if
clamps to hold the floor while it dries, also ensures the floor is held
tightly and leaves no nasty gaps

Hope this is of some use.

I'm only at the beginning of my DIY career. However, I have built
shelves and a greenhouse. I want to lay laminate flooring. I'm doing a
lot of research and it seems easy. B&Q do a glue free laminate special
at £9.90 a pack. The difference between this and the other floormaster
ranges is that this has a thinner tongue and so is not as easy to lay
B&Q tell me. Anybody had problems with this ? Anybody think laying
laminate would be too much for me ? I've stated my only major diy jobs
at the start of this thread. Any advice greatly received
