Hello,
I am just in the process of rewiring my flat and after measuring all of the new locations for the plug sockets at 480mm above floor level I checked them with a laser and noticed that they aren't level.
As it turns out one side of the concrete floor is 40mm lower than the other (the room is approx 4m wide).
Now, i'm unsure wether to try and level out the floor and cut out all the holes for the plug sockets relative to each other/a flat floor, or keep the floor as it is and cut out the holes for the plug sockets relative to the current sloping floor.
Looking online some screed can be used up to a depth of 40mm, but how do I apply this? Do I just need to fill the entire room with screed in one go or do I need to do it in layers?
FYI, I was also hoping to install engineered wood floorboards on top of the concrete floor. Will the slope be an issue if I decide not to level with screed? the floor is flat, just sloping.
