Hi all - hoping someone can help as worrying that we've made a mistake here and shot ourselves in the foot.
We've had an extension built that joins on to our kitchen. The floor of the extension has been brought up to the same level as the existing kitchen floor using asphalt (at the builder's recommendation) - the floor in the kitchen (now we have taken up the vinyl flooring) seems to be tiles of some kind.
There's a few 'divots' for want of a better word in the kitchen flooring and we've discovered there's a bit of a slope in the asphalt floor - about 5mm or so off to one side about two thirds of the way across.
We're having a kitchen fitted next week, and then looking to have a vinyl floor fitted, probably sheet vinyl. We probably can't get this done until the new year. Now I'm worrying that the floor will need screeding by the flooring company, after the kitchen has gone in, and that will mean the floor under the units is lower and it'll be hard to get things like the undercounter washing machine out from under the unit.
I wondered if screeding/levelling a floor before putting down flooring can ever be done in sections/patches - if the floor as a whole is quite level other than those parts I mentioned above, can a levelling compound be applied to just those sections rather than the whole thing having to be done?
I hope that makes sense - apologies if not, just starting to worry things have been done the wrong way!
