    Concrete floor with plywood around radiator pipes (mixed substrate)

    Hi Apologies for what i'm sure is a pretty obvious question: I'm about to do my second ever tiling job - the kitchen of our new-ish build flat (built 2002). On taking up the old vinyl tiles I found that the floor around the radiator pipes is plywood - level with the concrete. Each piece of...
