Yep.Ballast
What you mean suspended? Block and beam? 2-3" hardcore, blind with sand DPM and 4" concrete at least, then celotex and screed jobs a goodenIt's in a kitchen 3/4 room is suspended floor and the end concrete slab (around 6m2) but it's knackered, can literally crumble it in your hands. Not very thick either around 1-2 inches directly on soil. My plan was to dig a bit deeper, 4 inches, damp proof membrane then concrete?

Bit of a pigs job as you say, but if that's what they want. Just go with the flow, lino will cover it anywayIf I were to go down the route of hardcore, insulation, screed etc I would have to dig down deep! None of the other floors in the house are insulated. This is simply an area of concrete butting onto a block and beam floor. I just need to re do the slab, latex it and get vinyl down.
the existing slab has been there for 40years, I appreciate what I'm doing is not to building regs, but can anyone see any issues with laying a 100mm concrete slab directly onto membrane on soil?

Maybe bit late but if your going to skip the insulation layer some type 1 hardcore on base and whack it, thin layer of sand, dpm, 4" concrete 6:1 all in to cement and screed finish.
Cement burns are a b*****d I've had a few,
