This may seem like a very straight forward question, but I’m at a loss at the best way to recast a concrete floor ensuring it is level.
The floor in my kitchen has “dropped & cracked” by approx 35-40mm on one side of the room, leaving a slope.
I want to break this whole floor out (about 5.5m x 2.8m) & relay/recast it as there is also a plinth from the Aga (now removed!).
Can anyone help with the correct method.
What thickness of base / slab etc, DPM requirements, screeds etc.
How can I ensure the floor is level? Will I be ok mixing & pouring myself (with some help of course) for this sort of area??
Sorry for all the questions but I’ve never had to do anything like this, but happy to do it with the correct information. I have searched back for an identical post, but with 114 pages, I ran out of time!
Any help on this will be gratefully received.
