Doh - Just got the instructions online and I reckon the installer didn't set the hardness .... I will check tonight - thanks guys

Thanks guys - will check bypass but pretty sure its closed I plugged it in and hit the 'regenerate now' button - it seemed to make some grinding noises - didn't see any other options (don't have instructions) Do B&Q sell the hardness kits ?

Hi Guys, Does anyone have any suggestions re. which electric plane to buy ? For occasional DIY use but not cheapy cheap Ta

Hmmm thanks guys - it went OK but I have ended up with a rounded edge as suggested above :( - might buy an electric plane (should have done that in the first place :( )

Thanks :)

Thanks Richard Would it be an idea to leave a bit more - and then put a layer of SLC on top of the concrete to get up to the correct level ? Point noted re. the expansion joint - I think the 2 slabs will join across the middle of a tile so not ideal from that viewpoint :(
