Uneven Floor

yes, smaller packers made from wood, glued and screwed.

Thank you charlie1. Assuming I used a circular saw, what would you suggest I did with the lip left around the edges with regard to laying the Hardiebacker and tiling ?

Lip on what mate?

Got you, only option is to create a step (about 50mm) using the porcelain or timber, i don't think there is any metal ones out there for that drop

Sorry, I meant the lip left around the edge of the room after cutting the boards with a circular saw !

Your raising the whole floor?

Ah.... Got you...

Get it as tight as possible to the walls, do the depending which way the joists are running, you may need to add more noggins to support the new height.

The floor drops about 25mm from the door to the window (opposite the door) and the joists run from the door to the window.The distance from the door to the window is 1.98m so I guess the whole floor will need to be pulled up to level it properly. I was intending to use a circular saw as I don't have a reciprocating saw, but this would then leave an edge of board around the wall the same width as the guard on the circular saw.

if the floor joists are spaced at greater than 300mm c/c then new noggins should be spaced at 300mm c/c before relaying the floor.

As I've stated in one of my posts, you could put boxing around where the floor has the left over P4/P5. If not, you could use your circular saw first & cut the remaining board off with a normal handsaw. Just drill 4 or 5 18mm holes with a speed bit starting from the corner & use your handsaw to do the rest. It's a bit more work but would eliminate the need for boxing.

Could you not just make up the lip with offcuts of Hardibacker if you cant cut tight enough
