small floor screed

[shogun rua]

Hi,

Some cowboy builder done a screed on a small conservatory and its like a roller coaster very bad job,
its about 3sqms by 3sqms they done it just before the bad winter last year and has alot of cracks.
My questions are will this crack anymore and would this be ok to lay slc on?

cheers

When you say screed, do you mean a sand and cement screeded floor or an overlay of SLC above a concrete floor ?

 

[shogun rua]

a concrete floor which cracked last winter, i want to lay the slc

 

[Gazzer]

Any pics ?

 

[shogun rua]

there ya go

 

[Gazzer]

You sure thats just concrete ? looks like SLC and someone hasnt primed the floor to me ?

 

[shogun rua]

will this be ok to level then?

 

[Gazzer]

When you tap it does it rattle or sound loose. Its not looking good to me, I cant understand anyone concreting up to Skirting boards ?

 

[shogun rua]

should i rip it up then level?

 

[Gazzer]

That would be my choice and then I would know its done right.

 

[shogun rua]

defo looks like slc to me, the colour, texture, ripples and the cracks!

Looks like a bad self leveling..

As above looks like slc. rip up, prime and re do it. Laying on it would be asking for trouble in the future

Well i went to rip up the dodgy slc, and guess what an inch think of want look like sand and cement came up aswell,

these nuggets who call themselves builders put this down instead on concrete

its going to cost around 280 for the slc to build it up that high any ideas on building it up

roughy about 30mm?
