who do i call?

[ColJack]

My kitchen floor is uneven and has crappy hard plastic council tiles on it stuck with nasty black glue..

I am re-furbishing the kitchen and will be re-doing the floor.

I need the old stuff ripping up and the floor latexing level..

don't have the skills / can't be bothered to DIM, so who do i need to call in to do it?

general builder, carpet fitters, or are there specialist flooring people out there?


I'm thinking of re-laying with self adhesive vinyl tiles ( since these can be replaced individually if they get damaged or worn.. )

the other options are a decent lino / vinyl floor, or possibly laminate..

If i go the laminate route, do i need to strip the floor or can i take the unevenness out with the underlay?

EDIT:

as an afterthought to another idea, what is the thickest i can make latex / SLC up to?
think I could make it up to about 10mm?...

A tiler would be your best bet but as it's only a small job you may struggle to get one. A handyman out of the local paper should be ok. Ask them if they know how to use self levelling compound.

Ideally you want the floor to be as flat as possible to eliminate any bounce.

Depends what levelling compound you use. This stuff can be used up to 50mm. http://www.pureadhesion.co.uk/product/198/mira x-plan self levelling compound - 25 kg Mind you it'd be very expensive at that thickness!
