You would be building up 1mm

Fill any holes , f78 3 coats , then underlay, timbermate excel or similar No need to dig it all up.

Yeah, 2 x 10kg would be what was needed to put it down at the right microns. We tend to paint it on the bricks as well. If just laminate I’d prob fill in the holes and put 3 coats of ardex MVS / fball F78 moisture suppressant Or if money is ok go F77 all over. 14kg. Or use a good vapour...

The protimeter is just to get an initial reading of where to drill the holes or place a hydrometer box. How many m2 is the job ?

Ardex rep were 250-400 ? Wasn’t a RH reading taken ?

Over thinking it. Any brand will do. Any thickness. Prob just get 11mm ones

I wouldn’t be going click LVT mate. Glue down always.

LVT is great. Not soft at all. Been fitting it nearly 40 years. Have it in my house. Looks real if you go with the right one. Large tiles look at , floorify & kahrs.

Yes then another coat on top. Best to use the same as underneath but you can use a different one if it’s a similar compression strength So a system we use a lot Ardex na / Bostik C955 F77 Dpm Ardex P4 primer Ardex CL

What floor covering you having ?

That looks like asphalt to me which is good. Need to get it clean 1st. Best use de greasing crystals from Screwfix. Then fit in holes with ardex na / fball 1200 pro / Bostik c955 advanced / Then a liquid Dpm over them sections and any cracks

A power stretcher would be your best bet.

Stairods easy shim and a Z bar

It’s sloppy and loads of fitters do it that way as it’s quicker. But it leads to heel & toe wear. It’s probably not grippers correctly and that’s why it’s loose as well.

Did you see them do the prep? Did they put underlay on the riser ?
