Hi All

Got a screeded floor in my garage, we park our car inside the garage. There is a small down sloping ramp from the garage that then meets the driveway as shown.

The garage floor level is at DPC level (2 course bricks). If you look in the 2nd picture, you'll see engineering bricks where some of the screed has come away. It seems that where the screed was laid over the bricks, its perhaps too thin and has started cracking away. The rest of the garage floor inside is fine.

I was wandering what i could do to fix this? I could probably remove all the loose screed where its all cracked along the whole width of the garage but wasn't sure how best to then patch up. Maybe repair mortar, SBR then self levelling, something else?

Any tips appreciated, thank you

Why is there a row of bricks, laid there?

I think your way forward, is to dig those bricks out, then fill in with concrete and level.

Just remove the top layer of bricks. Then the infilled concrete will be 100mm deep, or so, instead of the current 25mm.

Thats the damp proof course. Heres another angle

After digging those bricks out, lay some dpc, then the concrete on top. You could neaten up the edges, using a stone disk and a grinder. The original 25mm was bound to break up.
