We're having an extension built - knocking through the existing kitchen to make a kitchen diner and the builders will soon be laying the insulation and screeding. The existing kitchen floor is currently tiled.
Should I ask the builders to bring the screed level to the existing timber floor? (i.e. after removing the tiles + any subfloor that is under the tiles?
The problem I can see with this is that I will need to lay 6mm ply over the wooden floor area before laying the new floor but I assume I wouldn't do this over the concrete extension floor - so the existing kitchen floor level will then be 6mm higher than the extension.
The new floor wil either be LVT or ceramic tiles - haven't decided yet.
If I do as above - would I then need to use self levelling compound over the extension concrete floor to bring it up 6mm?
Alternatively should I lay the 6mm ply before they screed and ask them to bring the screed up to the level of the ply?
Thanks in advance
