Concrete Floor!!
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.16 PM
Our current kitchen has a concrete floor, as opposed to wooden flooring / boards throughout every other room in the house. Is it a big job to remove the concrete floor and reinstate floor boards? As we would like to have a tiled floor in the end but unsure what is the best way to go about it. Any help appreciated!! Thanks! Edit: I should have also said the area that we wish to tile will run from the flexible floorboards over into the concrete area so we are looking for a solution that suits both sub floors!

It’s not necessary a big job at all. If you prepare the current floor for tiles then you may not have to remove it at all! Sometimes it’s best to remove it first for heating purposes etc. However a lot of the time I see clients don’t realise how easy a job can be. Just because it may not look great as it stands most of the difficult/expensive Work already been done. As long as you can have a good inspection of the area you can make a call based on what you see but the majority of the time you can reuse the concrete as your base for the tiles.

If you want to have a tiled floor in your kitchen and the concrete is uneven, it's not a big job. You have to put floor levelling compound first on top of the concrete and then you can lay tiles on top. This is also possible if you want electric underfloor heating but not with pipework.
If you want wooden floorboards in your kitchen, the concrete has to be removed and floor joisting has to be installed, followed by the floorboards.

I'm at a loss as to why you would want to remove a solid base and replace it with a flexible base if your intention is to tile it?
It seems like an unnecessary upheaval and cost for something that really would be best left as is if you plan to tile.
