We have a 80m2 concrete slab which although fairly level, does have low and high spots varying between 1 and 30mm. What's going to be the most cost effective method of levelling the entire slab? I presume a form of SLC, but what brand and type? We'll need ALOT of 20kg bags which will get...
Hi
I'm new on here and just had my floor tiled with 80x80 porcelin tiles.
I knew it was a hard job and would not get it perfect. After the job had been done I have now heard about the tile levelling spacer system and am now gutted that this could have been used as there's some uneven tiles...

I took on my own large bathroom upstairs in my new build. Its 2,5x3.5m room and have tiled all walls and floor and ready to tile my wet room tray but I'm out in 1 corner about 12mm. If this was anywhere else in the room I could fill out with tile adhesive and it would never be seen but this wet...

Good evening. Quick question. Can you latex over already laid ditra Matt to get a few bumps and hollows out. I know this is normally done first but unfortunately it's already been laid.
Many thanks.
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can either reassure me or provide some guidance on tiling outdoors.
So we're in the middle of a building project and using porcelain tiles to run through the kitchen, through bi fold doors and on to a patio to create a continuous surface.
The builder has put...
Evening all,
I have a shower to do in an old farm house, the builder has screwed hardie backer to the studs. But, the studs aren't plumb or straight. The customer has chosen 60x120 tiles so I need to render the wall flat before fixing. I don't have the skills, tools or time to fix furrings to...
Ive got to lay victorian geometric tiles onto a newly laid (just over a week) concrete surface that isn't flat. The job is external. Would it be best to use a self levelling compound and if so, is there a Self level product suitable for green concrete?
If not, would it be possible to lay the...

Hi
I'm retiling my kitchen floor. I took up the old vinyl tiles and am in the (very slow!) process of removing the vinyl glue.
Under some of the vinyl glue, in some places, though, are dark patches of what I guess old self-levelling compound. It's not across the whole floor but is just in...
Hi all,
I've been reading all your helpful advice to everyone, so after tearing my hair out for most of the day thought I would sign up. Please could someone clarify if I should've used Cementone SBR on top of a self levelling latex floor compound. I originally stripped the old kitchen floor...

Okay so slightly nervous as I have a floor to level next week. It runs out by 10-12m.... I self levelled a floor a few weeks ago but got it wrong so my confidence is not good right now.
What is the best SL to buy. It's going on concrete. Do you any of you use the fast setting stuff...

Here for advice on this one. People who think I am a pro because of a little argument in which I responded to JT then take it with a pinch of salt and don't use it going forward on every post to have a go at me. It's old news now :) I am here for advice mainly as I have been out the tiling game...

Hello
I'll be laying some ceramic floor tiles on top of self levelling compound, I've got some Mapei Primer G but I'm not sure if I should dilute it.
Instructions say:
Before tiling on gypsum it says to apply neat, ( does this apply on top of self levelling?)
Also says do NOT apply in such...

Hi all. I know there are a few bits of advice on the forums but my question is fairly specific. We are self levelling a 23sq m. concrete floor across 3 rooms in a domestic property. I reckon we will need an average fill of 6mm across the floor or there abouts. To my mind that is 1.38m3 of...

Hi All
I have an issue which I would like to hear your thoughts on.
I have had a floor fail on me, and need to get to the bottom of what has happened.
The floor is timber, screwed to joists and checked for deflection.
Then overlaid with 10mm backer board, screwed to floor. No primer.
