I've got old asbestos tile in half of my kitchen, then half is concrete. I do not want to get the tiles up, then test dampness (I hear the tiles could have been used for DPM purposes too) then screed - which will cost quite a lot.
I want to board the concrete floor - however unsure what wood to use and whether to fix it or float it fixing the boards to each other?
Moisture tests on current floor are not coming up with any problems. I don't want a super high floor, so thinking just 6mm floor either use plywood or pre primed tile backing type boards. I was originally going to glue/drill and screw down but later down the line it would be good to have the flexibility to bring up the asbestos tile and therefore having a floating floor with the boards attached to each other seemed to be most appropriate.
Anything I'm saying ringing alarm bells? Thoughts very welcome. Thanks!
