The original wooden boards in the sitting room of our 1930's Corporation house were not level enough to be covered over with the new solid wooden floor we bought so the fitter advised us to pull them up, which we did.
The concrete underneath is humpy and bumpy but is also covered over with spreads of horrible smelly dirty bitumen so the floor surface in our sitting room is now a complete mess.
What do we do now to level the sitting room floor? We could use leveling compound but will this work OK over the bitumen and how difficult is it to cover a whole room this way? Would another option be to put down pieces of plywood for under the new floor?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
