self levelling compound

Hi, I laid Mapei self levelling compound in my kitchen and hall Wednesday morning but it still seems like areas are still damp/ not fully dry. They are hard to touch and feel the same as the other areas but are of a darker colour. They also don’t seem to be improving with a fan/heat. Reckon...

I have a situation where 100mm insulation has been put on top of an unlevel concrete slab Insulatiin boards are 400mm wide. 19mm T&G and 12mm laminate flooring to go on top. Part of the floor will be too high, and I need to reduce the height. Prefer not to have to grind concrete down. How...

I have removed my old finish floor board and came across some type of asphalt/cement mix slab 90mm thick. Black colour As this is a little bit uneven and would like to have a finish level all around the ground floor I have started to get someone to quote me for a screeding. I never thought...

Hi, I've got a concrete subfloor that is still unlevel in some spots despite previously having 2 lots of self levelling screed applied. The floor has had an epoxy liquid dpm applied since the levelling. What sort of self levelling screed can I use to patch over the uneven areas on top of the...

Hello, A quick bit of advice needed please: We are setting up a meadery in South Wales and have taken the space over from a brewery - their floor was terrible and had low spots and water pooling, which was bad from a food hygiene perspective. The paint was also flaking up so we decided to...

I have a metal gutter connecting the house roof tiles to a large veranda and indoor pool area. Rain falls into a zinc gutter in the valley between the two structures. Unfortunately, once in the gutter, the water does not exit properly into the downpipes. There a down pipe at each side of the...

Hello, My kitchen floor needs levelling, however it slopes from one end to the other, the difference is ~25mm. Can I pour self levelling compound (suitable for that depth) or is it more of a serious issue? Can I lay in stages to take up say 15mm of the difference then finish the rest of the...

Hi Guys, looking to tile my new kitchen floor, however, have come across a hickup, There is a very large hole in the concrete floor from wall to wall which has collapsed slightly. I don't know why this has happened though my suspicion is that the builder who did my extension years ago knew...

Hi, I have some quarry tiles which are very firmly cement bonded, good condition and dont seem damp. I want to law some glue down solid oak Parquet over them. My plan is to level the floor using Sika self levelling compound (floor is level but to give me as perfect a surface as possible) and...

hi all I have just laid a self levelling compound onto my old kitchen floor. Some of the old low levels were as low as 25mm from the highest point so I bought 16 bags of 25mm (up to) latex self levelling compound. The area to cover is 16 square meters. I think I haven't put enough down as the...

Hello this is my first post. I'm currently renovating a house and its the first time I have taken on many of the tasks. I'm supposed I've not posted sooner. BACKGROUND I have knocked through two walls to create a large kitchen diner which has all gone well. However 2/3 of the room are on a...

Hi. Going to be tiling the downstairs of the house. Have a screeded concrete floor that looks pretty level (haven't checked it yet, but no majour bumps or dips). I was going to put down some self levelling before tiling, only because I thought it might make for an easier job and a better finish...

I'm in the process of prep'ing a concrete sub floor. I just want to make sure I've done everything correctly before the self levelling. The concrete has quite a few cracks in it, which are also high points. So I've been grinding these down which has opened them up a bit and they will now need...
