tiling over two different backgrounds

[DJWTiling]

Hi Guys,
Recently finished college and just starting out with a few small jobs to gain some more work experience and have come across a slight problem.
I'm tiling a floor from a hallway continuing through to the kitchen. The kitchen floor has vinyl tiles on top of a quite new concrete screed and the hallway has been taken back to the floor boards. If i use hardboard or backer board on top of floor boards, it will be higher than the concrete (once vinyl tiles removed and floor scraped and cleaned) in the kitchen.
Any advice of what can be done to make this level would be appreciated.

you could use self levelling on the concrete to remove the step, if its only a small step you should get away with feathering the slc near the doorway so you dont have to do the whole floor. you will have to use the transition as an expansion joint in the tiles tho. don't use hardboard on the wood floor, and only use backer boards if there's no deflection in the boards as they don't offer much in the way of strength.
