Thanks dazlight :) Well, I spent the whole of this evening after work putting down the vinyl planking. (Last night I put down the gerflor primer on top of the screed which had been down for about 30 hours prior). Managed to finish everything. Just need to put the dishwasher back in place...

Very good point - thanks for adding that :) The way I ended up doing this, it looks like I won't need to plane them anyway, as the floor directly underneath the plinth now doesn't have any screed there - as I ended up applying masking tape to the plinth, put them back in place, added a bead...

Hi dazlight, Thanks for the info. I believe it has an existing damp proof membrane, as on the outside of the building I can see the line indicating a damp proof course. So you reckon I should prime the areas missing screed first? What primer is generally a good one to go for? I also...

Hi all, Re-doing our kitchen floor and its the first time I am tackling this type. The old flooring was vinyl sheet, and I am going to lay vinyl plank down in its place. After removing the vinyl sheet, I found that self leveling compound was previously used. Another issue is that kitchen...
