1928 house. I think there is no membrane under the kitchen floor
(concrete?) which has tiles (in good condition) on top of the original
quarry tiles. It is above ground level but small amounts of moisture
seep up during very wet weather.

I want to put down either laminate or ceramic floor tiles on top of the
existing two layers of tiles. I can't face digging the whole lot up and
putting down a membrane; would a liquid DPM work e.g.

Any advice welcome.

I've used Wickes liquid DPM (which is a paint-on rubber/bitumen) under a
couple of inches of Wickes deep base floor levelling, with good results.

I have used an F Ball epoxy DPM on my kitchen (same problem as you). F75
IIRC - you should find it on their website.

If your tiles are glazed you'd only need to dampproof the joins. I don't think I'd put bitumen or any other bulky paint on under new tiles, better to use something that soaks in.

Could you face swinging a big hammer and smashing a few tiles then
hitting a bolster chisel at an angle to pop off the remaining
tiles? Then hit the quarry tiles with the liquid
dpm?

Also what happens under the kitchen units? If you build up/rip up
and damp proof the centre of the floor only, won't the
dampconcentrate in the under unit areas?

I was proposing to do this only as a general kitchen refit i.e. from
wall to wall and possibly a little way up the walls.

good idea, make a load of extra work. Honestly.

Ooh hello nige, how's the ceiling?

You'll be along with a "tried & tested" trip hazard mitigation
"solution" to deal with increased floor height soon I
guess...
