Wondering about putting in underfloor heating to heat my kitchen, which is in basement. The existing floor is concrete but is very dusty and worn into hollows in places, also some damp coming through... What would be the best way to proceed?
From talking to friends - suggestions include - A.building new floor on top of existing (there is room to raise floor level by 200 mm) or B. Dig out floor with jackhammer and lay new floor to existing level.
A. sounds easier, but can see that timbers ( including the stairs ) would have to be removed below new floor level, plus door , but this needs replacing anyway.
I would like to use a lime-crete floor if possible.
Hope this is rpeating a question already covered elsewhere
Thanks

Thanks Tony,
1) I think damp is probably coming from the road outside which is at ceiling level so some damp is prob inevitable, but the road is in poor state of repair and gulleys may not be working well .
2) Ok
3) will do my best
