Can't find it online, but you can get it in stores, although not many left at each, drove today to 3 stores to pick up 18packs to do almost all the house.

It's at £9 per pack, They also have on offer laminate for £4 per square meter but don't buy that as it's a turd. Your best bet is to give the barcode and let them find it for you as it's usually hidden somewhere without any price.All of the stores nearby had some stock when checked by staff so this is def. nationwide.

Also if you need underlay ebay is the cheapest place, just ordered 30m2 rolls for £12.69 , the cheap foam ones from my experience are just fine and there's no real difference from the expensive ones apart for slightly better insulation.
If you need skirting- again try ebay and find a local timber yard that usually stocks them, probably 4-5x less expensive than the rip-off B&Q , the price you should be paying is around £1- £1.3 per meter depending on the height for white MDF stuff.

Carpets are also unhygienic, can often look less modern in homes, are not a good idea where kids, pets and food frequent etc!

Biggest problem here is stopping the tapping noises as it can really annoy people in the floors below in these old flats. Is there any particular underlay that's good at preventing this?

Was previously at the front of the store so must be ex-promotion. I was in Wolverhampton store today and noticed they had moved it by the rest of the flooring area, still 4-5 pallets available. Much better than their other cheap laminates.

Sorry but not hot for me. I had laminate in the Dining Room, Hallway, Kitchen, three of the bedrooms but now all been replaced by carpets. Carpets are so cheap now and it comes in handy having a carpet fitter in the family so easily changed when you get fed up of it. It's a good price though but as I don't use laminate any more I am on the fence on this one.

Show me another material that costs peanuts, looks good and always transforms the room ,and can be put up in a couple of hours and can be used in any room?
I have put in some cheap laminate even in garage and in workshop because I wanted to stop the dust and wanted a super cheap solid floor fast. And laminate can be changed just as fast as carpet by even your mom!

You should be voting on whether this is cheaper than anywhere else not whether you prefer germ-attracting carpet. :wink:

It's not unhygienic if you don't wear shoes on carpets which we don't and laminate in the bedrooms is just awful. Cold on your feet unless you have underfloor heating. I am sure my children would much rather fall over on a soft carpet than a hard surface and if you have dogs, which we don't fortunately they struggle getting up on a hard floor especially as they get older. But if you don't have any old dogs and want to wear your shoes in the house then laminate is just fine. I would say that a carpet would definitely be unhygienic in a kitchen or bathroom and if you have dogs as dogs seem to enjoy bringing mud in and dragging their bum on the floor!! If I had a dog then I would need laminate.
Laminate served its purpose for us when it was cheap and I enjoyed putting it down properly, using the proper rubber type underlay, not the paper thin crap that B & Q sell, skirting boards off and put back over the laminate. No awful trims around the perimeter.
For me though it is a phase that started some 20 years ago or so and like most things will go full circle and judging by the amount that gets chucked away at my local tip the circle is already starting to turn. Go and have a look at some show houses that are designed by professional interior designers. You will see their use of laminate is quite limited. In fact none of the three show houses I saw last weekend had any in them at all but what do professionals know about what is modern and what isn't. It all comes down to a matter of taste. You either like it or you don't. I don't. It's in the kitchen and bathroom as it's practical. Not many would risk putting it in a bathroom but its fine so long as you seal the joints with a waterproof glue.

you can get this stuff for the same price per meter
Ok that stuff you posted isn't that bad just harder to attach and is intended to only cover the gaps not give any visual effect, to each his own but that's an overpriced stuff and is only advisable IF you already have a skirting board and don't want to mess with removing it/putting it back.
You can get the same stuff shipped to you from ebay for just £10 instead of £25 from toolstation

30m2 for £12.75

thin stuff but will be fine for 90% of the people, have been using for the past few times have laid new laminate somewhere, has been just fine.
if you want to insulate a bit better and if it's going in first floor and can pay 3x more get the sonic gold off ebay.
Might be a stupid question, but what is the sonic gold?
Also any recommandations for 'GOOD' underlays for carpets? I need it for my bedrooms. I know I have a lot of questions. If you could help to answer I will really appreciate it.
