How do I lay solid wood click flooring, hints and tips please?

I have solid wood tongue and groove flooring, a flooring fitting kit, a hammer, and a jigsaw.

The door is needing about a half inch taken off the bottom as well, whats the best way to do that?

Please forgive me, ive never laid flooring before, ive made store displays but always 2m squared for Homebase (where I work)

OK – take the door off it’s hinges in order to shave off the bottom – get help to do this as it is quite difficult.

If you can easily remove your skirting boards, then do so, as the finished job will look better. If not, leave a gap between the first board and the skirting board (for expansion). Lay the boards along the longest wall first – you will have to cut the last board to fit – use the bit that you cut off to start the next row. Continue until the floor is covered – the last row is the hardest as you will have to cut each piece lengthwise to fit.
Make sure that there is a gap all round then cover this up by tacking wooden beading to the skirting boards (that’s why it’s best to take them off if you can as you can just use them to cover the gap when you re-fit them.

Good luck – it’s not that hard if you have some DIY skill.
