New to the forum, so hopefully somebody will be able to help me....
I'm in the midst of building an extension & the builders have kind of let me down. As a consequence, I'm doing most of teh work myself now...
The walls are up and the roof is on & I hired a company to plaster teh walls and screed the floors.
plastering is great, but the screeding is woeful.
They painted the block & beam floor with a bitumen type compound and then I put the celotex down and fitting my wet under floor heating pipes. I put them under pressure and then the 'pros' screeded with sharp sand and cement. Problem is, the 'finished' screed is far from level & has undulations in it that I'm not sure I can disguse/cover when I tile.
I've been told to try using a levelling compound to bring this up to level and also to tie into the existing floor which is ~2mm above the screed edge.
Can anybody advise what to use, how to use and where to get the materials that are going to leave me with a level finish to tile on?
Thanks a million.
