    In our last house (Victorian), which had original concrete floors - no damp problems to start with - we did use the polythene sheet as suggested on the laminate packaging. Then the green fibreboard on top.

    We even put the polythene down here, in the flat. Despite it having Marley tiles all through & no damp problems, the packaging on the laminate sais we needed to.

    We'll only use the fibreboard on the new house, as it's upstairs & on timber flooring.

    We used Aqualoc flooring from B&Q they have a contact helpline, if you want more advice. Not got the number to hand, but ask if you want me to find it!
