Hi all,

If a tiling was suggesting just using D Mat Decoupling mat, without sanding and bonding the floor would this be correct?
The issue is that you need to adhere the decoupling mat to the screed, and you will just have the same problem as before - adhesive not bonding to the screed

Hi all,

I know this will be hard to answer, as a few variables involved.

But what would be a reasonable quote to Sand the floor.. Its approx 40ms and basically 2 large rectangles, all furniture, fixtures and woodwork have been removed.

As mentioned previously the floor is 8 years old, so likely the top layer is baked on, so the sanding will be to scruff up.

Any £*** range you could suggest would be a massive help.
Regards
