If the condition of the floor is good, linoleum is laid, it is not necessary to tear it off. To level the floor under the laminate with your own hands, you can apply small expanded clay and the subsequent laying of drywall sheet.
If the overlap is reinforced concrete, the drops are minor, you can polish the floor.
However, the best way of how to level the floor for the laminate is a cement screed or a screed with a special mixture. The first way is more time consuming. The level difference for the "classic" screed should be more than 2 cm, otherwise the use of special mixtures is more rational, labor costs are much less. If the difference is less than 5 mm, the surface can be leveled by means of a substrate.

When working with a quick-drying self-leveling compound, the set of tools will be minimal.
- Before you level the floor before laying the laminate, you need to prepare the surface: dust the base with a vacuum cleaner.
- Next, a layer of soil-concentrate follows, distribute it with a brush or roller, carefully rubbing.
- Prepare the solution according to the proportions indicated on the package.
- Pour the solution on the floor. The spreadability of the material is very good, so it will not be difficult to distribute it over the entire area. Do this with a steel spatula. When mixing two different mixtures at a thickness of up to 1 cm, use a needle roller.
- After 3-4 hours on the floor you can already walk. Check the leveling of the surface with a level or rules.
