Hi all, I hope i'm asking in the right place!
I am currently doing some work in my kitchen and have ran into a bit of a dilemma.
We had some porcelain 600x600 tiles laid around 9 years ago. I've known for a while some were dot and dabbed in a certain area of the floor by the sound. Looking back I can remember the tiler asking for some extra money for self leveller, I refused as it should have been priced into the job.
Anyway, as I have removed some stud walls and kitchen units to make way for a reconfigured kitchen and I have come across some large voids under the tiles, probably why he needed self leveller.
The tiler has packed out some of the voids with other tiles (from another job!) and left a lot of big gaps underneath some.
I have lifted a few tiles and cleaned them off with ease to be reused where the stud walls were and the cupboard used to be.
Taking the floor up isn't an option as there are stud walls that are staying put and the coverage of the whole floor is large (conservatory, kitchen, dining room and hallway) and I can't risk breaking any. I have managed to get hold of the last few tiles left in the world. This problem is only covering a few square metres and I have access to quite alot of the gaps due to lifting the cut tiles to be filled with the full tiles we have salvaged/acquired.
I am going to use concrete/screed to build up the exposed slab to the level of the other floors.
Is there a product I can use to fill the gaps? Self leveller is an option, but some of the void/gaps are up to 50mm deep.
Sorry about the lengthy post, trying to get as much detail in!
Thanks in advance
