    So what's the plan Mario? Abrade, prime and hit it? I take it the title is sarcasm...Were the customers telling you what it needed? I might be stating the obvious there but It's what I'm good at haha

    The job's been dropped in my lap..
    I was told over the phone of course that half the shop is these tiles, pretty much level..haha and the other half is crete. So, thought best go have a look, glad I did. The crete area is 2mm higher than tiles, the tiled area has lots of worn dips and repairs to it.
    Thoughts are.. degrease, abrade, prime, rapid repair in places, screed tiled area and scratch coat over crete, dpm and screed over the whole area. LVT's are going down.
