My downstairs back consists of a kitchen, small passageway and a bathroom. When I moved in I replaced the bathroom floor and the passageway with tiled laminate. I left the lino down in the kitchen that was in.
I am in the process of refitting my kitchen and came across a strange issue. The kitchen itself is U shaped and and about 3 quarters of the way into the kitchen the floor level drops about 6mm on a very sharp slope which is only a couple of inches.
The area closest the cabinets (about 50-60cm) is lower than the rest of he three rooms.
The floor everything else is laid onto is black type material which has the resemblence of knitware so I am not sure what it is and I don't want to pull everything up to rip it out.
Now that everything has been fitted I am thinking what the best way is to raise the 1 quarter of "walking on" floor which isn't level is to put some 6mm marine ply down and then use self leveling compound in this slope area to make everything level. Is this a good idea?
