Hi
My bathroom floor is not particularly level running out of true approximately 3mm. As most flooring covering manufacturers stress the importance of having a level floor I think that I need to use self levelling compound to achieve this. Can someone please recommend a brand to use as there are...

Ordered a spike roller from Ctd and the pole.
Is this the best way to go,pour out and roll it out or am I better to get a large level and drag over surface.

Hi again all!
I have searched for this on the forums and my search function seems to not be working so apologies if I am repeating an already asked question.
What are all your recommendations for a decent self levelling compound.
It is for solid floor but there are some holes which are really...
Evening All,
I'm a DIYer who try to do as best a job as I can but would never claim to be anywhere near as good as you pro's!
If a job is worth doing then its worth doing well so I always try to do a proper job and not cut corners and do things properly.
I've renovated and built houses and...

Some times you will get a bag of grout that has not been mixed with the colourant very well especially grey.
Mix powder with water until you have the right consistency using the trowel to scrape the grout off the sides of the container while mixing for at least a minute.
Allow the grout to sit...
Hi guys I'm a first time house buyer, and I am trying to level a floor to tile. The hardcore underneath the bitumen is old sham and sand from a nearby by Pitt. Then on top of that concrete and a bitumen dpm of around 10-15mm.
Problem is over the years when shale or sand absorbs moisture it has...

I can be a bit of a stickler when it comes to mixing correct quantities, and I knew I'd be in for trouble when I read the instructions on the Ardex EG8 tub. Basically, it said pour the top bucket into the bottom bucket and mix together! There was absolutely no way I could use up all 4kg of epoxy...
Hi
I have a flat roof to tile with slate tiles and I'd like to make a grout to be waterproof. I've never used epoxy grout and don't want to (not sure if you can use it on slate anyway). I was thinking to mix grout with SBR - what are your thoughts?
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...

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.

I'm a plasterer and I do a bit of tiling and a rep showed me a mixing paddle that knocks up a full bag of skimming with a cordless drill, he said that it would mix tile adhesive up as well, cleaned with a quick spin in water and it can be knocked clean if it gets forgotten because its flexible...
