Have you had any of this laid in recent times? Was it laid over floorboards? Or was it over-laid on what was there already?

Expected to have the tiles taken up, but looks like that is not the case. Don't want to look for problems - but in a weird way nice to know that the floorboards were still in good nick!!

    Had this laid in two rooms of late & both on wooden floors, these were covered with a decent ply first to give a flat surface.

    Putting it straight onto proper, especially old gappy, floorboards is asking for problems, it really needs to be on top of a fairly smooth surface.

    Yes, I can understand the potential problems - but wouldn't an underlay solve that?
