help with sub floor needed

[bishbosh77]

Hi Guys
With things being quiet i whent back to were i used to work on a temp contract as place is shuting in September, when i pulled up in my van they asked if i would do saturdays repairing floor tiles in the despatch area (heavy trafic).I have ben working the last 3 weeks and now we have run out of something called rapidcrete,i have cut the damaged tiles out and gone down till i have a good solid base (about 100mm) then filled the hole with rapidcrete leaving enough room for the tile and addesive this works realy well and no tiles have cracked so far. The problem is the rapidcrete is £127+vat a bag and every five tiles i replace needs 2 bags, i dident know how much it cost till it was all used up the big question is can anybody recommend some thing i can use that costs a resenable amount, sets fast so it can be tiled and will withstand forktrucks.

Any help apreciated

Cheers

Ardex EB 2 is probably what I would use. It's rapid hardening and tileable after just three hours.

Over here, Ardex market it as suitable for industrial applications, so I'd imagine it's very suitable where there is heavy forklift traffic.

Don't know how much you have to pay for it over in the UK, but I'd imagine it's about half of what you pay for that other stuff.
