Self levelling stuff
After digging an exploratory hole in the dining room floor (it's a
concrete floor) and having discovered that the Victorian pammets (bricks) don't cover more than half the floor, I need to fill the hole. It's 1m Square and at its deepest is 70mm deep. I need to fill it so that I can tile over the top. Would Wickes Deep Base Levelling compound do the trick? It says 5-50mm - if I use it should I do two pours? regards Simon |

Cheers Tim No there isn't - the Wickes one says it will cover brick and stone, but I guess that's not the point. Simon |

Simon In the absence of specific knowledge about the Wickes one, I *do* know that F Ball Stopgap 900 will cope with damp substrates as I'm about to use it. AFAICS, the data sheet says it is cement + aluminates (so similar to most other levelling compounds) PLUS an acrylic guaging liquid. It's really designed to flatten the floor prior to sticking their epoxy 2 pack DPM down, but it's possible you could just treat it as a leveller. - don't see why not... Cheers Tim |
