Hi,
I've pulled up the chipboard tongue and groove in my upstairs bathroom, and laid an 18mm WBP Ply sub-floor (solid noggined), ready for ceramic tiles.
The joists are not quite level, so there's a slope from the left to the right of the bathroom of about 4mm, with a deeper dip of about 6mm in the centre of the floor. This needs to be sorted so the tiles lay flat and don't crack.
Can I cure this with floor levelling compound - I'm going to lay ceramic tiles over the Ply - or do I need to pull up the ply and level the joists and noggins, then re-lay the ply? (I really don't want to do that!)
If a levelling compound will do it - any suggestions? (I got the ply from Wickes, and it seems a bit more flexible than I'd have expected - so maybe avoid a wickes compound?)
