For best results, lay ply, screed lower area to level of ply, then screed whole area over the top so it’s perfectly level. You’ll need to use a quality self levelling screed suitable for use over wood and concrete substrates, Mapei Renovation is really good and relatively affordable, Arditex...

Depends on your skill set with self levelling but essentially, fill concrete area with self levelling screws and either blend at the join to the ply, or, fill to level and then lay a standard coat screed over the ply and concrete for a perfect finish. You’ll ideally want to use a screed...

If it’s ply sheeting or composition boarding you need to fix it securely to the supports underneath

Technically you could Mapei Renovation screed directly over the existing Ply subfloor although you take the risk that the existing ply is stable enough to support the LVT. Without seeing the job it’s hard to say but all the LVT manufacturers will specify SP101 6mm Flooring grade ply over the...

In that case you need to lay flooring grade SP101 6mm Ply over the subfloor, ensure it’s secured every 3 inches across every sheet, then feather edge or microcoat all the joints and any low fixings and glue the LVT direct to it. if we were laying Herringbone, we would Mapei Renovation Screed...

By Floating floor, do you mean into a Laminate or engineered wood type floor?

Personally not a big fan of 12mm thick underlay and standard gripper but it’ll do a similar job to Axfelt no probs.

His advice sounds sensible and honest re: UFH If you were to fit carpet, Uplift the old Laminate and install the new carpet on a really good underlay, I'd recommend Ulster Axfelt65 which is a Natural Felt underlay with crumb rubber support layer (which lays direct on the concrete). We find...

Click cannot be glued, it needs the same subfloor preparation as glue down to have a chance of being effective, you will need a expansion gap around the edge of all rooms covered by scotia or new skirting and doorways should have door bars. You can't pin the floor down with too much weight that...

Best option would be to carpet the room. Or install underfloor heating. Insulating a concrete Slab like that effectively through underlay alone would be a thankless task.

Glue down LVT is your best option but the subfloor needs to be tested for moisture and properly prepared before fitting. We would always recommend fitting after the Kitchen is installed then trim the end boards and kick boards of the units to fit.

Assuming the ply is moisture tolerant etc, feather edge joints and screw heads and the vinyl can be direct laid fully stuck to the ply. Cove and Capping contract safety floor and welding the joints and any seams is a highly specialised job requiring specialist equipment, there isn't really any...

Good quality Laminate manufacturers will have a specific stair nosing for their laminate product, alternatively Stairrods UK have a selection or options in their Premier nosing ranges.

It's not possible to install the underlay until the gripper is in place really and these will be spaced depending on how deep the carpet is that is being fitted, unless you were planning on laying the underlay wall to wall and expecting the fitter to cut the underlay back around the outside of...

You should'nt need any kind of DPM under the carpet unless you have a specific damp problem. Are the carpet gripper and door bars down? The fitters would normally fix each end of the underlay with some spray adhesive to keep it in place whilst they move the carpet around in the room when...

A good independent flooring company should be able to deal with that for you and tailor the preparation to your chosen new flooring.

You can't seal the join with anything, adhesive under the area of the join will hold the two pieces of vinyl close together, but it won't be water proof.

Glue down LVT will just need a trowelled LVT adhesive onto the prepared smooth, clean subfloor, we always use high temperature adhesive on our installations.

If your glueing the junkers down I’d imagine it will need to go down into 6mm Ply, chipboard doesn’t have the tensile strength for when the Junkers try’s to move.
