leveling and damp proofing concrete floor

Anonymous user 9 March 2024 - 2.47 PM

Hi. I have just taken up some uneven tiles on my kitchen floor ( 4 tiles 600 x 600 }. The floor under each tile i have removed has been visibly wet, but has dried in a few hours of the tile being lifted. There has been a screed / self leveler been put down before the tiles have been laid. This seams to come up pretty easily The workmanship on the floor is of a shocking standard. My plan is to remove the kitchen, take up all the tiles and take up the old screed and redo it. I've never done this before and i'd like to know how i go about it. What is best to damp proof the floor? how thick should the leveling compound be? I was thinking of using a liquid dpm then self leveler then a sealer on top of that. I will be tiling the floor again. any help will be much appreciated. Please point me in the right direction Cheers
