Hi
I am doing a renovation project where a galley kitchen and dining room are being combined. The dining room has an original (not tongue and groove, but just laid end to end of that makes sense) pine floor and I would like this to be across the 2 combined rooms.
The problem is the kitchen has a tiled floor which is laid on what I think is a concrete subfloor sat on the joists, but i can’t be sure what is under it. Pulling up a floorboard near the kitchen floor I can see a ‘brick wall’ under the floor starting at the edge of the tiled area with a joist saton top. This may or may not continue across the whole kitchen floor.
How difficult will it be for a builder to dig this out to a level where they can lay reclaimed pine boards? I am very worried they are going to say it can’t be done or end up spending £££
This is the only option other than laying a fake wooden floor or tiling the whole thing as the new kitchen will be in the current dining room, so obviously can’t have a quarter of the new combined room tiled at the current kitchen end.
Thanks!
