Hi we just had some work done by a builder in our old victorian two up two down. This has a small room on the back with a concrete floor, the old scullery I'd guess, it's about 3m by 2m. We are fitting a small galley kitchen in there. They have replastered, fitted new windows, added electrics and pipework, and they also installed a subfloor of chip board over 25mm of celotex/battens. But it's not very level. It has a small fall from one end to the other, which is ok, but at the one end it dips down about 20mm across the width of 2000mm which is very noticeable.
The builder says it's fine as the kitchen units on either side can cope with the unevenness using leg adjustments, which they can, but down the centre of the galley kitchen you can really tell that the floor tilts at one end.
He will not make it good, so we have decided we need to do something about it.
As far I can see, we have two options.
Rip the floor out, lay down some screed over the floor in that corner, and put down the timber battens/celotex/chipboard again. Very time consuming !
Screed over the chipboard to level it out.
Option two is quicker and easier but is it even possible ?
Does anyone have any alternative suggestions ?
Thanks
