Consevatory flooring and subsidence

[mcbean]

We have a tiled conservatory and we live in subsidence area - over 9 years since it was built we have a fair crack in the tile grout over the width of the room and a couple of the tiles have lifted, i think the foundation was only at the basic depth so no surprise this has happened ( naivety !) so i guess there is a crack through the concrete float

What would anybody recommend for flooring to be able to take a bit of movement - i have searched and there are many comments about Laminate and that sitting on a fresh level screed . Or as tiling looks the nicest is there a more flexible grout. ( i have used some silicone which is the same colour as the grout as a temporary fill) so it does not look quite so obvious

advice welcome

A floating floor sounds the best bet. Not a fix for the problem but one that won't show any subsidance. you can buy laminate, engineered or solid wood. They're all floating floors.
