Hi all
Hoping for abit of advice. Im in the process if removing my kitchen and noticed the concrete floor has sunk and cracked near a externall wall. Noticed that there is a 20mm gap underneath the skirting board where the dip is. It seems someone has filled where tye floor has cracked in the past and has re cracked in places. I assume the floor sunk around 30years ago as the kitcken and flooring is from around the 80s. Also the floor seems to smell musty. Abit damp which i understand is normal comsidering the house is 1930s .
Could anyone reccommend anything, i was going to re concrete the damaged parts of floor then re screed with self level compound. But obviously if the floor is damp maybe it may need a dpm installed?
Thanks
