I've posted on the tiling section about putting more ply down in the hallway but a building inspector has said he'd rather the ply come out and be replaced with a screed. The problem is that I don't think there's enough depth to screed it is there?

The area is 3.5m x 2m and a depth of 30 - 35mm (photos attached).

Is there something that can be used instead of screed in order to level off this 30 - 35mm section of my hallway and get a DPC in?

Thanks

The optimum thickness of a sand and cement bonded screed is 25–40mm, an unbonded screed should have a minimum thickness of 50mm, whilst a floating screed should have a thickness greater than 65mm for lightly loaded floors and 75mm for more heavily loaded floors.
