Default Floor not level

F wrote:
I've just spent the last couple of days laying a laminate floor.

I assumed the concrete floor onto which it was laid was level but now
the laminate is down and I can stand back it's clear it's not. The
last 600mm drops by 10 - 20mm.

I've got someone coming in on Wednesday to mitre and fit the worktops.
Ideally I would like to level the floor but I'm concerned that any
damp screed will damage the laminate which has to go down (admittedly
onto a dampproof underlay) before the cabinets and then the worktops
can be installed.

Anyone able to offer a view on how to proceed? I could simply ignore
the slope and just raise the back legs of the units. But Management
is aware of the situation...


Slope sounds too big to ignore, especially if management has spotted it.

Self levelling screed dries pretty quickly, something like 24hrs - would
that help?

Secondly, I wonder if a hardener added to a powdered self levelling screed
or even a mortar mix would help - or maybe not.
