Chriswills Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I have this between the kitchen area and lounge of a refurb we are doing. The kitchen is new extension and final floor will be self levelled. What the best to put here to pack it out before self levelling the floors ?

Mr Punter Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 If that is earth you need to remove it first. There should be foundation underneath. You will need DPM under the concrete, linked to the dpm on the existing floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was where the existing wall was before the extension went in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 How about a bit of walk on glazing to look down onto the old footings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could claim his house is built over a roman villa and charge an entrance fee to look through your walk-on glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceverge Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Dig it out. Find an offcut of insulation somewhere and bung it in. Mix a bucket of concrete and pour it level with the exiting floor. Vinyl will cover any cracking if it's a floating floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
