I have a small (2x2.5m) outhouse which I am converting to a utility room - it is single brick with a concrete floor the surface of which is only a couple of inches below the top of the damp proof course. I would like to ensure that there is no water penetration through the floor before tiling - I thought I would first put down a DPM on the floor and using a flashbanding to tape it a couple of bricks up I would then screed (san and cement mix) the floor about 1 inch to level the floor. I had a couple of questions if someone would be kind enough to help.
How does the dpm adhere to the concrete floor?
Is it OK to screed on top of the DPM, will it adhere?- is there any prep before screeding - perhaps PVA?
Sorry if this all sounds a bit basic!!!!
Thank you
