Kitchen floor

[frogeye]

Hi All

Hope everyone had a merry christmas and enjoy a happy new year.

I have just measured up a little kitchen floor job, wierd shaped but do-able.

The floor is a mix to say the least. Modern lino type stuff on top off older lino stuck down with what looks like a black mastic (thin coat) then there appears to be a few thermo plastic tiles for good measure. Once removed the floor should be relatively level. 3 doors in, I from carpet, 1 to concrete in a cupboard so can incorporate but 3rd to continuation of lino floor. Fingers crossed I dont have to level as it will leave two awkward door thresholds to sort.

So my main question is floor prep. Can I use the bal sbr (?) to prime once I have got up most of the previous adhesive - a black stuff? A Bal flexible rapidset for tiles and as the customer has picked the worlds most wavy edged tiles - a flexible wide grout - no problems with grout lines then ho ho? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also the tiles are Hispania Ceramica - single fired floor tiles made in Spain - not a problem I hope? But at least I can select my adhesive and grout.

Threshold bars? Which is best to keep the obvious rise down to a sensible size? They are both a bit old and fragile so no trip hazards wanted.

This is my first paying outside the family and friends job - a straight forward square pattern, so no pressure

Thanks Gaz
seems strange, but actually going, measuring up, giving advice etc was quite a daunting task. I just needed a little word to say I was on the right lines.
So thanks for that
