I've moved into a 60s built bungalow with concrete floors. At some point it has had an extension at the back which added on around 6ft to the kitchen.
The floor in the extended area is level but in the original part it drops down and slopes . It drops by around an inch over 8 ft down to the level of the hall floor.
The kitchen has been tiled in the past and the tiles slope quite drastically but there is no sign of them cracking so I am praying that the original floor has settled many years ago and is now stable.
Is this a job that a decent tiler could sort out or would a builder have to level the concrete floor first before having the floor retiled.
Looking around the rest of the house the floors all seem to have had levelling compound poured but it would appear to be a poor job with humps and dips .
The bathroom runs parallel with the kitchen has also been tiled and is similar to the kitchen floor level with a drop of around an inch down to the hall level .
The Previous owner was old and I think the builder just did a rush job on the floor not taking the time to ensure that it was level all over.
I am hoping that this is a common problem with bungalows of this age and can be fixed by a tiler
thanks for any answers
