Thanks Guys Im thinking of going with Polythene taped to the floor for moisture, 6/7mm Fibreboard, and 8mm kaindl laminate. I expect some runs etc as its an old mill floor with a screed, not completely flat. Some of the info earlier, i do not have nor totally understand to be honest guys...

Hello Guys Recently purchased a renovated flat in an old mill/factory. Floor was like a River, uneven to say the least. No way I could have put any type of flooring on it! So I had a screed put on it, dramatic improvement, but not 100% even, still a tad "Hilly" in parts, a wee bit up and...

Hi All Yer mate, its flat, and it does slope, but as you say, doesn't go over 2mm within a metre. Its a big space (80 metre squared), and was thinking it may not take laminate, for a space that size, would you think you would need flooring more than 7mm thick, or wouldnt it matter...
