Levelling a stone flagged floor

Question

I have an original stone flagged floor how do I level it and damp proof it before laying LVT

Bradley · Accepted Answer

Black jack the floor ,let it dry maybe give it a couple of coats to be safe , then use Feb floor,which is a self leveling compound

Damien · Answer

Tank the stone with a few coats of tanking and then use latex self levelling which kind depends on the thickness needed just make sure to prime the floor before using self levelling

Peter · Answer

I would advise to nstall DPC membrane before you pour you levelling compound whether that be concrete or self levelling.
Also a layer of tanking slurry would be beneficial

Paul · Answer

Personally I wouldn’t. But if you must, take them up and sell them, they are worth a lot of money!
Then install damp course membrane, insulate , then screed level.

Darren · Answer

Self levelling compound with a membrane before tiling. However the flagstones will not be able to be recovered if you change your mind.

Depending on which type of LVT you use is the difference to which why around you prep before laying . if you are using glued down i would go with the black jack method below or if its just click then just floor level with a decent floor leveling compound (make sure its well primed before) . Then a thin DMP under would work just fine .

Paul · Answer

Self levelling compound / latex will help level - damp proofing is a seperate issue and would reqquire further info / investigation in order to answer properly.
