Hi
I am after some advice about what to do in a kitchen/ family room in a house I recently moved into. Part of the kitchen and all of the family room is an extension. The floor in the extension consists of a concrete sub floor with a 50mm thick sand cement screed on top. The floor sounds hollow when tapped. I broke out the floor screed in the extended end of the utility room, it turned out the screed itself was sound, it just wasn't bonded to the sub floor. I am guessing that the kitchen/family room will be the same, as there isn't any cracking in the screed, just the hollow sound.
I am planning to lay 10mm thick 600x600 tiles throughout and would like to know if it is essential that I break out and relay the screed, or would tiling over it be ok?
Any help and guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
