New build flooring

twinkle1990

Hi, we are moving into our new build in the next week or two and haven’t had flooring included or paid for flooring through the builder.
We have sorted flooring (laminate and carpet) with a flooring company to be fitted the day after we move in. 

We did a house stalk tonight and they have latexed the floor?! Builders usually latex the floor when they are about to lay flooring aren’t they? Or is it normal practice? 
In any case, I don’t think we’ll be able to have laminate now because it raises the floor..
Any advice would be much appreciated 🤞

I don't know if it's normal practice or not, but if you let your flooring company know, they will be able to advise whether laminate is still possible. You may need to shave down the bottom of the doors to raise their level slightly to accommodate, but I wouldn't rule laminate out completely (our new build has laminate and I know they did something to the bottom of the doors).

I don't see why self-level affects the ability to put a floor over it?  It's there for the purpose of creating a level base for flooring.
