Discuss Advice for sub floor prep in the British & UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.

Hi,

Soon to lay 500mm sq tiles onto screeded hall/kitchen floor 25m2. Hall floor has vinyl tiles stuck to screed. Should I remove vinyl and adhesive then prime and slc or slc over adhesive? There is a 5mm dip just in front of the front door so need to level that anyway.

The screed down now is 20 years old, no cracks, looks good, what is your advice on whether decoupling membrane is needed too?

Thanks in advance for any advice you offer 👍

Matt
