Hi,
We want to remove original Victorian tiling from our home entrance and replace with some other form eg laminate or tiles. Here s a picture of something similar to whatwe have: http://www.matt-rigby-tiling.co.uk/images/references/7.jpg
Someone mentioned that the concrete base may be laid on compacted earth and we cannot simply cover over with a different floor because if we do not treat it, it could develop mould.
Does anyone have experience with this? How does one check whether this is indeed the case and it is not wooden base, and how can we treat if this is correct? Do we need to excavate and lay a membrane?
The floor is very solid to walk on.
thanks.
