    Leave it to a pro...it's one of those jobs they make look easy that's terribly easy to get wrong when you try yourself.

    If the existing floor is messy and untidy (rough) say where old tiles have been removed.

    Then applying a latex screed will smooth it out and make fitting the new flooring surface more simple and better.

    Basically, what you would pay out in screeding will be saved by reduced messing about with laying the new floor covering.....and you should get a neater job.
