I find that the Weber Floorflex doesn't 'flow',probably because of the fibres in it. But perfectly fine for small bathroom timber floors,EUFH etc,etc.
Tilemaster Rapid Level 30 would be good on small concrete floors as it 'flows' very well. Not so good on a 25m2 concrete floor like last week where I couldn't mix the batches quick enough before the previous surrounding batches started to harden up,not impossible though.
 
I used my 2 free bags of BAL level max last week. Very nice stuff indeed. I saw a demo of the product at CTD too. It is very watery and it settles well. I bought another bag of it just in case I need to level something else.
 
Still got mine in the garage @Sean Kelly will give it a go soon 🙂
Got a 18m2 floor to raise 10mm tomorrow and will be using my normal Weber floor flex 😉
 
How do you level a floor then...? Mr blobby .....lol



(Joke) before you go off on one...surely not every floor you do is spot on...

That's ok - none taken lol.

No they are not, but they are when I've tiled them.

Yes Mr Blobby works well for me if done correctly, especially when you get floors like this one. High in the middle, then floor runs away as you go across.

It takes a while to master this technique though, not easy. But as long as you put enough addy down, whack the tile in place with the old rubber mallet and end up with full coverage underneath that's all that matters.

Some jobs, or should I say most can't be delayed waiting for self levelling to dry.

This floor has been down for 3 years now - and still all ok.

I know this, as its my neighbours kitchen floor.

Ultra's range of levellers is spot on, as is the Tilesmaster stuff. Agree with the comments on Weber, I've not used loads if it but would every confidence in using it again.

I prefer the term "cow pats"

That picture was actually taken right at the moment when my addy bucket ran out, so while I was in between, thought I'd take some pics to show the builder how bad the floor actually was - believe me, more addy went in than what's on that pic, so when the tile went down, I would say at least 90% of the tile was covered.
