Hi all, bit of advice sought...
Just finished levelling a floor with self-levelling compound. Worked fine, got the hang of it in a small stairwell (8m2). Now I've got a much larger room to do - one problem, the cost of the stuff!
I was buying 25kg bags for about £13 and used 7 due to the floor (poured concrete) being pretty bad (up to 40mm off). The large room is the same and will probably take 30+ bags.
What I want to do is level to an extent with "something else" like a cement/sand mix, and then use the self-level compound for the last 10mm or so.
Can't seem to find what mix I might use to make something like a self-level compound. I don't care about setting time, the house is unoccupied I can leave it for a few days.....
Any suggestions what mix I might use?
