wooden floor on the concrete base

Anonymous user 06/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Hi i'm looking to replace the current concrete floor as it doesn't have damp proof. Then I want to install engineered wood floor. What layers would have to be installed and in what order? Looking to estimate ate how much mess and cost all that would involve.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
