Self Levelling Advice On Sunken Quarry Tiles

You could put down the DPM and then apply a thin screed. 15mm liquid screed (gypsol ts15) is fine for this type of application if you have space...

Thanks Ajax123, I think I might be able to get away with 15mm, any more than that and the step into the kitchen will be a bit too high. I couldn't find any retail shops that sell gypsol ts15, so I've tried to get in contact with some suppliers.

Annoyingly B&Q have stopped doing the tiles we picked out, these are the closest ones they do now.

Cirque Black Stone effect Ceramic Floor tile, Pack of 9, (L)333mm (W)333mm | DIY at B&Q - https://www.diy.com/departments/cirque-black-stone-effect-ceramic-floor-tile-pack-of-9-l-333mm-w-333mm/161765_BQ.prd

Are these likely to be too thin?

Being only 7.6mm thick and ceramic I wouldn’t use them on floors especially in a high traffic area such as a kitchen

So at the moment time is my biggest enemy. If I was to dig up the tiles, is there any screed I could put on top of a DPM that would dry enough within a week?

I've got 3 weeks booked off work starting the week after next. And I really don't want to spend the first week watching screed drying.

Worst comes to worst I could reschedule with work I guess.

There is Ball rapid cement, takes the place of ordinary cement and can be tiled after 24 hours

Schluter Ditra can go on a green screed or the new Bal Flexbone 2easy.

As you are in Northampton try Breedon Aggregates. They are you closest.

Thanks Albert, is this the one? What sort of depth should I go to with that?

Sorry pdc, I didn't follow that. Are you suggesting I could put green screed down on the quarry tiles, with the Schluter Ditra on top of that?

Thanks Bond, so I'd dig my tiles up, lay down the polythene sheet and then lay this cement on top?

Thanks Ajax, I've had word from one supplier who couldn't supply such a small amount. But I've given Breedon a try now too.
