Dear all, We bought our house about ten years ago and the garden has a flowerbed which was build against our neighbours brick wall, so that there is no barrier between the soil and the brick wall. The flowerbed is about 5 metres long and 80 centimetres high. The neighbours want to replace the...

There is only one door, the room will be used as a classroom with some individual desks and chairs situated parallel to the groove. The lowest area is the one near the door and as you say it may be a problem if using self leveling compound

Thanks, the difference in level is too large to do that. I would say it may be 2 to 3 centimetres in some parts

Dear all, We are currently working in the room of the picture and there use to be a dividing wall where you can see the groove. The ground is higher in one side and quite uneven. The idea is to create a single ground floor as even as possible. One alternative is self leveling compound but we...

I have but I want to make sure they do it properly this time. So how should they fix it?

Yes it looks like the way forward, not a brilliant system though

I can't check for leaks unless I remove the floorboards. I will put silicone on both sides and hope for the best. I think I left chemicals for too long and somehow they have damaged the plastic
