I much prefer laying the laminate flooring with glue, does anyone know
where I can source some. i have searched on google, but so far
everything is click happy. I tried the click ones from B&Q and just
didn't get on with it at all, there were many imperfections in the
tongue and groove which needed to be filed out before the planks would
lie straight. A problem I have never had with glue only.

thanks in advance

This is because you had crap quality laminate. I've installed both glued
and glueless, and glueless is by far the nicest of the two to install -
much quicker and less work.

I would recommend you look at some better makes - it's really worth
avoiding the sub £10/sqm varieties, they're what give laminate a bad name.

Focus DIY do the glue type, although I've never had any problems with the
click type on the 14 floors I've laid this stuff down on.

Pergo click laminate is excellent - my experience of laying most of a flat
with it.

I'd second that - Pergo is very good, and very hard wearing.
