[QUOTE="Alex3874, post: 863472"] Hi all. Newbie here so please go easy :) I've not laid self levelling compound before but am a confident DIY'er so would like to give it a crack.... just trying to do as much research as possible before hand... I have ripped/stripped out an old bathroom suite (inc stud wall splitting cupboard & shower enclosure). It's at the point where the walls need re-plastering (where old tiles have been removed) and the old flooring has been taken up. The old flooring was vinyl sheet (on top) but was laid over old 70's style Marley Tiles (which I have now removed as well). This has revealed some black, Bitumen which appears to have been used as an adhesive for the old tiles. Once I removed the old skirting, there was also signs of a plastic membrane (only on the wall which joins the downstairs bathroom to the garage next door, not on the other 3 sides). Please see pic attached. I would like to install 2msq of electric underfloor heating (once subfloor sorted) and then, finally have new Vinyl floor laid over the top. My main question is, after priming the existing surface with something like an SBR Primer for adhesion ( & given the above): 1. Would I be better using a levelling compound to achieve a nice smooth, flat surface? Would it be an issue if the compound touches the plaster at the bottom of the walls...? Will this drawn moisture up? Will this be ok laid over the Bitumen? OR 2. Use something like No More Ply instead and trim to fit. If so, any suggestions on best adhesive to fix this to the existing concrete floor? Can I lay underfloor heating underlay directly into this (after priming)? Thanks in advance for any help [ATTACH]89470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]89471[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]89472[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
