I ordered 7 packs of Karndean Van Gogh glue-down flooring for the inner hallway and staircase. The builder is back on Monday to finish painting the stringers and a few other bits and bobs, and will be ready to start laying the flooring on Tuesday. New skirting going on after the hallway floor is laid.

I placed the order last weekend with an online supplier, but the flooring was shipped direct from Karndean. Arrived an hour ago.

I also ordered 5l of Karndean adhesive, apparently being shipped by the company that took my order. No sign of it arriving.

If the adhesive doesn't arrive on Monday, we'll need to source an alternative locally, which means Screwfix or Toolstation.

What's the best adhesive for the job that's sold by the above places?

Soudal are a really good brand (as I understand it) and they do LVT adhesive from Screwfix.

Wouldn’t get lvt adhesive from Screwfix, find your nearest flooring distributor and ask for pressure sensitive glue. If there’s windows where sun is beating down on it get high temp.

The basic stuff from screwfix will shrink over time.
