I am just about to start doing my kitchen but have a bit of a problem with the floor which I plan to tile. The kitchen has a little coal shed on the end of it that was extended into before I moved in. Everythings fine in it apart from the floor of it which had shifted so much that the concrete screed they put in when doing it had raised and cracked meaning there was a little step into it.
Last weekend I got all of the concrete up expecting to find enough space to put a DPM sheet and new screed down. The trouble is the floor is so uneven that the back of it is 50mm deep and the front adjoining the kitchen is between 10-25mm deep (total area of it is 1800x1200mm).
A friend said that a screed will just break again because it would be so thin (ideally 75mm he said) so he suggested using a thick mixture of latex levelling compound and trowel it all to the right depth etc.
Does nyone have any experience of doing this at all? Any precautions about doing it this way or any recommendations about doing it another way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
