Hi All

Am about to level my kitchen floor ready for laying laminate flooring.

I am about to use self levelling compound/liquid (it's only a small dip,
4mm, area 16" sq2).

I am going to pour it onto our exisiting floor tiles (big ugly terracota),
the q's are -

1. Do I need to score the tiles for some sort of fix
2. Can anyone recommend a product/brand for this
3. Are there any other special considerations e.g. water proofing,
membrane?

Thanks for any responses.


Wickes levelling stuff is good and we didn't make any special preparations
for it except to remove the vinyl tiles that were down.

Just one piece of advice - add the right amount of water. Someone (not me!)
added too much on our first go because "That doesn't sound enough - I'll
stick a bit more in", and it looked like a swamp the next morning. I got
some more and mixed it properly and it set fine - nice and smooth. Pour it
on, spread it out, job's a good 'un.
