  1. Can you please advise any levelling compound which are fit for this purpose ?
  2. Makes sense. Definitely an option. I had someone earlier who told me that in this case, the best option will be to use the self levelling compound. I asked what depth it will add to the exisitng one. He said, after cleaning the floor, it should add roughly 5-7 mm. Please let me know your thoughts.
  3. The Floor in the shed was not upto standards and it appears loose, I mean it appears loose materials keep coming out as we walk along. For example, if we have to use the floor walking up and down 100 times at the same place, it is very likely to become loose. Have attached some images. I would like to make this floor stable and strong as iam going to use the shed heavily for storage. What is the best way to go about ? Screeding or Self levelling compound ?? I may just have less than an inch worth of depth left ? Need a strong and a stable floor. I am likely to go with engineered wooden planks or Vinyl sheets for flooring later. Please advise.
  4. Is it ok to build like that ? Will it be an issue later after few years ? That is what I am looking out for ? Are aircrete blocks with 3.6N good to use for general purpose constructions - Outdoor shed and external walls in my case ? Will it last long enough ? This is what I am looking out for. This is not a big project to detail all these things. And I dont use big construction companies either. I am not sure if the seller will list details even if I buy a new build with these details like what exact materials / type of construction materials are used. This is a small project. May be iam out of touch. Apologies. But can you answer this please ?
  5. Drawings ? There is no such thing. It is a small garden shed.
  6. We are building a shed in our garden. Need this to last for 2 generations atleast. The one my neighbour built 40 years ago himself still stands good without any issues. Work started. Nice chaps working on it. But I am a little bit worried about the quality of materials being used. 2 different types of concrete blocks are being used (as you can see from the brick block colours). The dark coloured block appeared solid. They had small stones and i can feel the sand as well in it. These both are completely different from how it looks and how it feels and how it weighs. Is it ok to use 2 different blocks of completely different types, right ? Now all the new blocks which were delivered appears different and they seem very fragile. It appears they can be broken easily ? They dont look like real blocks. Not sure if the builder is cutting costs here ? When I looked for details from the delivery crate, this is what i found. The blocks are from H+H - Celcon Block - Standard Block 3.6N 440 SRC140. In the picture below, I have placed the other type of block which was used initially and it was solid and not as fragile as the new delivered ones. Can you all please check and advise ? Thanks
