Kitchen floor

[Mike]

i've seen a lot of old kitchens with quarry tiles like that were they've just been put down on the earth/soil. this could well be the situation here but as earlier said you may need the proffesionals in. may need a total rip out, dig down, lay hardcore, jablite/kingspan, visqueen and concrete. hopefully not tho

I guess I have no choice then, I can see my kitchen budget slowly shrinking....

I will pull out one of the quarries tomorrow and see if the sub is concrete or just earth, Hopefully concrete and the sand patch is where someone has just bodged in the past

Cheers Guys

Morning all.

I dug out the the rubbish from one of the spaces without quarry tiles to find a solid concrete/cement base under it.
I can now also see around the edges that the quarries are seated on a 1-1/2 inch solid base and not just earth as I first thought.

I am hoping I can now fill in the missing floor to the same level as the quarries and then tile the whole floor or fill in to level and then screed the whole floor to level even more.

Does that sound ok?

If there is a good sound base under them I would be tempted to remove the tiles aswell, take it right back to the screed, prep the screed (repair if needed), if its a bit up and down then use SLC then tile. This would be the best way to do it but a lot more work.
