Hello,
I'm renovating a 1920s brick built end terrace house and am well advanced with things - cavities, solum, blown plaster, remove damp concrete floors, knock through walls, etc.
What degree of accuracy do I need to work to when putting in and levelling the new joists on the ground floor?. The living/dining area will need two lengths to stretch from front to back. The scarcement walls and sleeper walls are pretty rough on the tops with bits of old lime mortar and slate having been used originally. No wall plates have been used in the original, and what seems to have been liquid bitumen as DPC is flaked off.
Is there a modern product that could be used to fill the frogs and level off the scarcement/sleeper walls?.
Cheers,
Bulltaco.
