And not really DIY but had the urge to share- I suspect the previous occupant paid someone money for this particular lashup.

Hall floor- concrete, very rough surface, very uneven.

And sounded a bit hollow in places...

Yes, the bodger in chief couldn't be bothered to pull all the old floorboards and joists out so just hurled the mix in around and over.

I think it is the same bodger who built up the path and bays at the front of the house so ground level was about 150 above internal floor level (Concrete grade looks the same). He did leave gaps for the airbricks- or drains into them would be more accurate. Damp? Just a bit. But at least I know why- lets see if it dries out naturally before I waste a week drilling and injecting.

On the contrary, I doubt that it was very level at all.
