Hi I live in a council house and we want some flooring in our hallway. We are not sure yet what were gonna have but either be vinyl laminate or tiles. The house currently had tiles in the hallway laid on top of some other small orange tiles. The proper tiles were dipping near entrance and in few other places and sounded hollow when knocked so we told the council that we want to put a new hallway floor but the floor dipps. They were gonna come out and do self levelling now as I mentioned some tiles were loose and I dont want self levelling over the proper tiles the were loose so I lifted them to discover the small orange tiles. Now they never came on the day to do the job so I started to look at orange tiles which were also dipped in the same area also sounded hollow when knocked.
My question is what is causing this?
What's under the orange tiles?
Can self levelling be laid over this and be ok?
What is really needed as we don't want problems in future?
Now I know on this part of forum its not for tiling but I weren't sure if its a tiling issue or ground issue therefore I shall also post in tiling section.
Also I have included a pic of the orange tiles in my hallway any help would be great
