Hi,
I would appreciate some direction if you can, as there is so much information online that I am not sure where to start.
I have a small cloakroom under the stairs. Externally, the wall is the part of the house which gets the most rainfall.
Until recently, the floor was covered with carpet. When I removed it, because I am considering tiling it, I realised that the floor is not in a great state (uneven surface and crumbling in parts). Furthermore, it smelled of damp and the top eft corner of the room felt wet (it is where most of the rainfall hits on the other side).
Should I start by applying a concrete sealer? Or a concrete hardener / sealer? Do you have a product to recommend?
Should I also use a self levelling compound after that, to fill the holes and make the surface more level? Or something else? Again, if you could recommend a product that would be amazing.
Or do you think that the problem may warrant more significant work? Should I not worry too much about it or should I be more concerned?
Thank you very much.
