You're probably all going to laugh at this but I use palace thick bed leveller for dry areas and ultra level it 2 for wet rooms and karndean type flooring . Wish I could get more of the karndean jobs it's easy money compared to proper tiling .

What you laughing at the palace leveller

Probably shouldn't have posted that

Natural light will always expose bad preparation

I'd be embarrassed if that was my work

Stick to tiling

Funny thing is that's the second floor I've done in that house . The first floor was where the householder asked if I could help him out as the floor he had just had put down by a floor layer was failing

I replace alot of failed and badly fitted karndean/Amtico floors by so called floorlayers who tend to be either contractors who thinking there poor standards are acceptable to domestic customers Carpet fitters seeing £ signs or buinders or other trades trying there luck.
It's a specialist craft to do it correctly and to the highest standards.
In the last 3 years I've been though about 25 floorlayer who just aren't up to standard I can't find anyone who's good enough and to busy to train anyone up.
These same 25 I believe all work for shops now fitting Karndean and Amtico ?

I keep getting offered karndean and vinyl work. I know what I am doing tiling, but vinyl is a whole different ballgame. I refuse the work.

Mind you, with my inexperienced eye jcrtilings work looked good, if a little grubby (or dirty lens lol).
