    We've had a builder prepare the kitchen floor ready for tiling which he will be doing

    The kitchen is empty with the skirting all removed

    The tiles will either be ceramic or porcelain tiles

    The kitchen is a part suspended timber floor with floorboards which has little to no bounce/movement and the other half of the kitchen is a concrete floor.

    He has has carried out the following work so far as per the works schedule he has provided

    - Applied BAL SBR Bond to all the faces of the plywood including sides, 2 coats

    - 5.5mm plywood with staggered joints laid down using 4 x 40mm screws at every 100 to 150mm centres

    On the concrete side he has stated no preparation is required

    He has advised he'll be using an S1 or S2 flexible floor adhesive

    For peace of mind can anyone tell me what he is doing is correct
