Self levelling screed???

[Ajax123]

Not surprised you are disapointed. We didn't look at flatness when I came. Assuming your bit of wood is straight it looks well out. Which addy did you go for in the end was it the weber? .........they also do a gypsum based leveller, as do many others nowadays .......

just out of interest should the supplier or screeders be called back to rectify the floor as its not really acceptable

I admit that my "straight edge" in the pics is just a random floor joist that I found lying around. I should have placed my spirit level on top to illustrate the point better. I demonstrated the problem to my customer with my 1800mm spirit level and it was just as bad, so much so that we had to check the window for level too. The dip was peaking at 25mm over 2.5 metres (if that makes sense) and fortunately appears to be quite localised as the rest of the 75sqm seems pretty good.

Yes, I am working with Weber on this job and will provide a review when the floor is completed. I have, also, offered to provide Weber with detailed feedback too.

In this instance, it is in no way the suppliers responsibility.
The installer would normally be expected to rectify the poor installation, however, there is a major breakdown between client and installer (builder) as this is not the only issue that my client has experienced, so they are happy to compensate me to sort the screed.

:lol::lol:, I did suggest that I just install a drain and tile with envelope cuts.

no offence taken Jay. Was just curious to know why you thought supplier would be interested. You are right though that these sort of complaint often start off with the installers blaming the material.

I thought that one of the benefits of gyvlon screeds are it's self levelling capabilities - have I mis-understood?
