Uneven kitchen floor

Hi all.
We have a side extension that has created a bigger kitchen. This was done in 2004 and we bought the house last year. The kitchen floor slopes down from the original house floor to the extension part of the floor. It seems as though the original floor is concrete and the extension has boarding instead. The whole floor is tiled. What's the best way to level the floor? It's not causing a problem and the slope is subtle but now I've noticed it's annoying me.
Thanks

My advice is to learn to live with it and to not let it bother you. Look at it as a quirky character feature.
Raising one floor or lowering another will not be cheap and there may be complications with fitted cupboards etc.
Will spending many hundreds of pounds or more (unnecessarily?) annoy you more than a slight slope that causes no problems?A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".0 -
You could take up the tiles and get a builder to apply leveller, if you like. Shouldn't cost loads, but I wouldn't bother personally. My extension (done before I bought the house) also has an uneven floor, doesn't really bother me.

It adds quirky character and value to your property.

Thanks for all of you that replied. I think I can learn to live with it0

Spend hundreds on therapy or thousands on builders?
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
