We're doing up our downstairs bathroom, the old floor tiles have been removed leaving a fairly uneven surface.

I've removed what I can of the old adhesive but would estimate there is still at least 5mm variance overall.

The wife would like Lino on the floor which as I understand it demands that the floor is totally flat.

Self levelling compounds seem to top out around 5mm, will I be ok with these?
Can I board it before the Lino?
Should I just use tiles or wood instead?

Thanks for reading, grateful for any advice.

A self levelling compound should be fine. There's subtle differences between a flat floor, a smooth floor and a level floor.
All you need is a reasonably smooth floor which a self levelling compound will give you.
Make sure you are totally familiar with the method of using the self-levelling compound.
