Merry Christmas to all the regulars. Have a great Christmas & New year.

You be better with a decent bag & bottle compound like Ardex CL or Mapei latexplan

Cat trims I’d say are better. Not sure what’s going on with SR at the minute. Had problems with my last 3 orders. Twin trims the top section not on correct. Also scratches on bendy bulls.

Ardex NA is still the best for that situation. I use them all. Should have used 2 units really. Fball should have told you not to spilt a bag up and you won’t get the mix exactly correct. Are the tiles glued direct to the asphalt ?

As the locking system is thin it breaks easy so they sell underlay at 1-1.5mm. Read the spec of the one you look to buy.

Not sensible. You can’t use laminate underlay with LVT click. To soft and thick. You need LVT underlay if it doesn’t have one in. Go 9mm plywood or 6mm if it’s flat. Maybe go glue down LVT. Moduleo Layred and quickstep alpha are the best LVT clicks on the market.

Scrape up anything loose Prime sub floor with water or 8-1 primer Screed floor at 3-4mm with one of these Ardex na Bostik CL955 advanced Mapei na Fball 1200 Pro Kerakoll pro flow Then Dpm it. Has to be a epoxy Ardex dpm1c or fball F77 is what we use

Get the builder or the floorlayer to get the tiles up. Wet them , double bag them and you will be fine. Then do a Dpm butty as that floor needs it. To be honest if the builder doesn’t know that then I wouldn’t let him touch the floor. Remove tiles and loose screed. Apply 3-5mm coat of ardex na /...

You need at least 5.5mm plywood down on the timber sub floor.

Looks like it needs grinding. Does it have a damp proof visqueen under the screed

It won’t come off if you use it correctly . Used it loads over the last few years. Make some no loose bits on the screed. Prime it as well so better bond.

Take the top row of bricks out

4mm !!!! That does not meet British standards. Has to be 6mm minimum now. If he can’t use the right plywood bet he can’t screed

Was the chipboard all level ? We tend to find chipboard is level as it’s new. So then we go 6mm ply and feather finish. How did he screed the floor? With a trowel or a pin leveller.

Hard one as it will depend on the sub floor and heights of each room to how level you can get the floor. Did he price to level the floor or smooth it.
