Uneven floor

[crunch]

Hi everyone, i am doing a quote for a kitchen floor and lookin for any advice with this. The floor has been well layed with chipboard (solid), and where it goes through an old doorway, which has been removed, the wood meets the old concrete floor which is 10mm higher. The concrete part is 1m wide and has a slope of 1" in total. Any suggestions on the best way to over come this.:huh2: Hope this makes sense!!!

how big is wood floor? i am assuming they dont want a step?is slope in concrete towards door or away?

In total its 23m, the area through the door is 5m in total. The incline is away from the door and no they dont want a step.

from what you have described i would look at raising the wooden floor above the concrete and then using some self leveller on concrete to take the slope out. thats if they want it flat all the way through.expensive but cheaper than trying to get the concrete down to wood level.
hope someone can give you a cheaper/easier alternative

Thanks, all suggestions greatly received.

You will also need to put a movement joint where the two substrates meet....as the timber floor will expand at a different rate to the concrete one and also there might be some slight deflection where they meet....

agree wth dave on the movement joint
