I am currently in the process of gutting a 1930's semi and putting it back together again. I have decided to go for solid wooden flooring in the hallway, but the sub-floor is solid with what appears to be a vinyl tile stuck down with bitumen (old shop which was converted back into residential in 1970's)
A number of the tiles have already lifted, leaving the bitumen exposed. I did intend on laying a flexible self levelling compound straight over this and then using a dpm 3mm underlay (on a roll) and then the flooring on top, however after reading a few other posts on here i'm not convinced that is the way to go.
Any advice on this would be most helpful!
Thanks in advance.
