We've original wood block floor in 2 rooms and carpet in the hall.
Closer inspection has revealed some roughly laid wood blocks under the carpet in a poor state and, under that, a tar paper style DPM and some uneven concrete.
So, whole lot to come up and a wood floor to go down. Don't want to contemplate trying to dig all the old concrete out so i need to level it.
I suspect it will be damp so will i have to go through the full rig marole of the layers of primer and screed as above or could I get away with latex? Should I consider some engineered wood instead of solid wood planks to better deal with the probable damp?
Any tips greatfullt received.
