Trouble shooting advice please. the hearth in our space room is sunken on at one end about 25-30mm below the finished floor level. The other end is almost flush with the floor. It's very sturdy and hasn't gone anywhere in the past 18months. Tried standing and jumping on it and it wont shift.
I'd like to fill it in to end up with it being level with the floor boards. My plan is for self levelling screed polished and painted as best as possible. Alternatively, levelling screed to build it up slightly at the deeper end then tiles over the top , though this would result in it being raised above the floor at the higher.
Before I go pour a load of self levelling screed and attempt to create a presentable finished surface does anyone have any words of warning or advice?
