You need to put down 6mm plywood 1st

For that carpet the gripper should be 4-5mm off the skirting

Always best to prime mate. Holds reduce pinholes and helps the compound flow better. You want a 4-1 mix with P131 over the sub floor

Is the adhesive solid or loose

For me Fill in holes with ardex na or A46 rapid repair then ardex DPM1c painted 2 inches on the walls as well.

If you let it tack off dry it will release. Done it a few times. Can you make a hatch.

I did mean f46 mate. Maybe use polysafe quicklay or Altro expresslay

Who is the manufacturer? You shouldn’t float any herringbone wood. All should be fixed to the sub floor?

Fball f46

You could use uzin 630 primer. Then just screed it all and no plywood.

You can use a pin leveller. I use a screeding trowel. Every bag we mix goes 3m2 ish so I know it’s about right. We use carpet underlay and spray it to the floor or sand to block it. If high we use plywood and silicone

Jigsaw to cut it or we use a exact saw No feather and 2mm screed is to thin. Needs to be 3-6mm thick. We always go approx 4-5mm

50mm nails ? For 6mm plywood ? Should be 19mm. Also make sure they are ring shanks

Fitter 2 is correct. You need to turn heating off and do a moisture test with a hydrometer Needs to be a Reading under 65% RH

Should be no problem but if needed use a feather Finish compound like ardex or similar

Remove all the loose bits , fill in with ardex A46 or similar repair mortar which is a exterior version. Then go over it overlapping onto the asphalt with ardex DPM1c

1965 but most houses before 1980 don’t have a effective Dpm under it so laying glue down LVT will stop the floor breathing which can cause damp. Test it and if it has moisture put a liquid Dpm over it.

1971 your concrete might not have a damp proof membrane ? Can you see any sheet around the perimeter. any reason why you aren’t using a smoothing compound over the concrete.

I use ardex mate . Most are decent though.
