levelling a kitchen floor ?? advice please

[renton]

hi all ive just ripped up the floor tiles that were down in my kitchen/diner and im left with the stufft the tiles were put down on.

it looks like concrete substance thats been put down with a serrated edge trowel .

do i need to get this lot up or will leveliing compound do the trick ??

i want to get it level enough to put lino or laminate down.

i can take pictures if you want

any advice would be welcome!!

cheers

a concrete like substance laid with a serated trowel

it sounds like floor tile adhesive used for quarry / ceramic tiles

this material is either "relativly" soft and can be removed with a heavy duty floor scraper, youd buy one at a builders merchants or a tile place like topps tiles

dont buy the one from screwfix it probably isnt heavy duty enough

if the floor tile adhesive is an epoxy a heavy duty floor scraper probably wont touch it.

self leveling compound isnt as easy to lay as it might sound, ive done it twice and wouldnt have laid lino on it. floor layers use special rollers to level it

wickes sell self levelling compound
