Alternatives to carpet
I'd like to replace the carpet in the living room (16 m2) of my ground floor flat (circa 1900) with a new flooring type; something that I can easily wipe clean. Unfortunately, the room clearly slopes down on one side. I am aware that I can have the floorboards raised and the joists packed and levelled but worry about the cost of that process. Other than carpet, do I have any other options? Would linoleum or cork be suitable?

Cracked screed on floor. How to prepare for carpet
We are renovating a downstairs room that has a lino floor. When we took the skirting boards off and lifted the edge of the lino we found that the concrete didn’t go all the way to the walls ( 1 inch gap all the way round) and the gaps appear to be filled with loose material. When our radiator was fitted the concrete on the floor broke and we found it was only about 1cm thick. Do we need to get the whole floor re-done before replacing skirting and getting carpets fitted or is this a quick fix for any cracks or holes we find?
Vinyl flooring onto stone tile
Do I need to have levelling compound laid prior to the vinyl floor being fitted as the grouting gaps are very shallow?
