Firstly, thanks for all the responses - most useful! I've looked into the price side of things and it turns out screeding is what the customer would rather go for. Having only done it once or twice before, can anyone tell me roughly how much sand & cement I'd need? the floor area is approx 10m/sq & I'd like to get a 20mm thickness

Probably would be best getting bags of sand working on 25kg bags about 20 sharp sand and again about 5 dust it's quite a thin screed. What i would do is get some sbr 50/50 with water mixed with cement and a small amount of sand to give you a slurry coat on the floor to start but do the slurry as you screed sticks better that way. Use the sbr at 50/50 with water for the screed just to strenghen it a bit and it makes it a polymer screed, Thats makes very strong and keep your tools clean sbr sticks like no other IMO

Deano, to save you taking a picture of your monitor with a camera. Just press the 'print screen' button on your keyboard (nothing will happen) then open your photo editor or Word etc then right click and paste. Hey presto your screen shot is now a picture you can edit/crop/upload etc :grin:
