    Well the price depends on the size of the conservatory. Also is that brick height laid normal or flat ie 4 inches or 3 inches? I am not sure about putting laminate on damp concrete (TBH I am surprised it works at all) but I should imagine it would be advisable to let it cure for a while.

    well what mu friend the builder has suggested is that you can get special polystyrene blocks for the job that have a damp proof bit on both sides and you just lay them down and then laminate on top. the depth of them is about a brick height

    What we did in my house, an extension not a conservatory but same idea, was 2" of the polstyrene, then a floating floor grade chipboard floor, on top of which we layed tiles.

    Fairly easy and fairly quick to do as long as you can handle a tape measure . I'm sure you can substitute with thicker polystyrene and laminate. Pretty cheap as well theses days.

    cheers mate thats what i was thinking of using what is the quality like. i thinking of tiling myself would look quite nice in a conservatory. only thing stopping me is that the kitchen diner which the conservatory leads of is laminate look vinyl. so would be quite nice to lay laminate flooring of the same colour

    Well it seems to have worked fine here for quite a few years. You have to use a special flexible glue for the tiles like you would on floorboards. As for laminate or tiles, it's a matter of taste but I'd go with tiles in the conservatory as too much laminate annoys me. Proper wood is fine

    Maybe take the vinyl up and laminate in there, or parquet flooring, although probably a bad idea in the kitchen with spills and stuff, sorry you didn't ask for my preferences did you

    Good luck.
