Screed or Backerboard?

[Harburt]

Hi all

I am looking to tile the floor of a small downstairs cloakroom (picture at the end). Total areas only around 1.3m squared. Currently there's a mix of ply and original floorboards. The surface is generally level, but there are some very slight higher discrepancies between the different bits of wood, and also some slight gaps around the edge.

My question is, do I need to bother screeding to get it absolutely perfect level, or can I get away with just laying 10mm Backerboard straight down?

Tiles are 6mm porcelain.

Thanks

If it's as flat as you say then just go with the backer board. In any case that should take out minor discrepancies of a millimetre or three
