It does need self levelling and there are in some areas dips of up to 11mm.
My plan was to using Bal multibase put a first level down of 5mm then when dry a second one and feather in to the top of the humps.

The Spiked Roller......awesome. Have just self levelled about 75 m2 prior to tiling. The floor was in a right mess where the builder had used a combination of grinder and kango to get the old bitumen off. Anyway I invested in a Spiked Roller to try out on the job and I was well impressed with...
Hi there. I'd like to tile my basement corridor which is slightly uneven brick and prone to damp spots. I wondered if there's a self-levelling compound that does the damp proofing stuff too? If not would I have to apply a damp proof membrane then self-level (please don't tell me I'd have to add...

I bought some non latex based SLC from B&Q and it says on the packet to use pva as a primer before applying the SLC.
I'm a bit concerned that I'm only applying SLC to patches and there will be overspill of pva on other areas wher ther will be tiling and I've read here that tiling and pva...

Looking at a floor on Monday that kitchen fitter reckons is "a bit rough" after tiles have been removed (by someone else).
My questions are regarding self levelling compound. Never used the stuff before, but think I need to learn sharpish.
Is it OK to use if units are in, but kickboards are...

I've just knocked my toilet and bathroom into one room and discovered the 2 floors are slightly different heights.
I want to use a self levelling compound to bring the (old) toilet side up to the same level as the bathroom.
There has been some form of thin layer applied to the floor to stick...

Can you use self levelling cement on a floor once you've ripped out a previous floor tiling job to make it right for the new job?
This has to be quicker than chipping away at uneven cement right?
If so presumably you have to swish it about to make sure it gets inall the gaps.

How do you create a perimeter for the self levelling compound? What do you use? Also if the floor is higher what kinda edge do you use?:stupid:
