Our house has a solid floor. There's a section about 6" deep underneath the patio doors that seems to be raised by about 0.5" above the rest of the floor - its almost like a plinth.
You can clearly see it through the carpet and we're going to be having french doors fitted so we want to level it with the rest of the room.
Can I simply use a hammer and bolster chisel to chisel away the excess down to the sanme level as the rest of the floor and then patch up where necessary with a sand and cement mix to make it level?
OR should I chisel the floor out to slightly lower than where I want it and use self levelling concrete to get it level, and smooth it out with a metal trowel?
Any help much appreciated
