I know that the floor was badly laid (not by me) - but it's done, so just looking for a solution now, hopefully avoiding tearing...

    My garage had been built directly on concrete and has developed seepage between wall and floor. I'm wanting to put a concrete fillet along the wall and I was thinking of painting with bitumen first. Could I then lay the concrete fillet on top ?

    Saving a neglected garage

    I painted my garage ( attached to house and dry) with white emulsion. It soaks up a ton first, so a bit watered down and a couple of coats. I painted my floor with garage paint so did the walls and wasn't worried about the odd drop. The first few bricks on the wall were also painted with floor...

    I have read the standard replies on floor screeds at the top of this forum but unfortunately they don't cover what I need to know. My concrete garage floor was obviously badly laid with a weak mix. Parts of it eventually became dusty. No amount of sealing with either dilute PVA or flooring...

    Garage waterproofing questions

    My garage is built on a concrete slab that extends about 300mm beyond the up and over doors. This joins to an asphalt/tarmac(not sure of the difference) drive. The asphalt has crumbled a bit leaving a 8-10mm gap. What could I use to weather seal this gap bearing in mind it has cars driven over...
