Hi all
Renovating one of my properties I purchased 15 years with subsidence at the rear extension (28 years old). Property is over 120 years old.
When I first purchased it I made do by literally screwing 2x1 roofing battens at the back extension on top of the existing floorboards/cut packers/wedges form same. Screwed them down into boards and covered with 18mm 2400x600mm chipboard.
I'm now in a position to do it properly and the there has been no movement since I done above.
There is a fall of 2" / 2.5" over a span of 3.7m.
I have take all the old temp levelling I put in quickly when purchased and now want to go directly onto existing joists to level it....
What are my options?
I did consider furrings but they are a set degree/slope.
I also want to go on top of existing rafters to prevent t noise/movement and perhaps use some composite glue as well as screwed/nailed.
Cheers
