Sorry to bother again, and I won’t make a habit of it. Much.

Bathroom has been insulated and batonned! Plasterer making good everywhere.

Now, we’ve been stripping out the kitchen. Downstairs room andfloor  wise we’re now down to ceramic tiles on top of cork tiles on top of  lino. Yes, really. What bothers me is that this is a concrete floor  and I thought it was solid. But in the middle of it if I hit it with  a hammer or even stamp on it, it sounds hollow to me – especially in  comparison to the other solid concrete floor in the adjacent utility  room. Is it possible there’s a cavity underneath and should I  investigate further? The floor slopes / dips around this area…

It has also been seen by a couple of people who are hoping to lay a marmoleum floor for us and they haven’t passed comment on it. Doubt  if it’s going to collapse, but all the same, could it be hollow under  there? And should I look further….

Cheers
