  • Anyone laid self leveling. I've got to do it next week. Floors about 10mm out. I've watched a lot of YouTube but any tips welcome. Slightly concerned but quite aware that it's not really completely self leveling.

  • You've probably seen this, but just in case... you get different types for different depths so get one that is matches your 10mm depth.

    Also if you have the option of a longer set time go for that one. I chose mine based on what was available from screwfix for my depth and had to work fast as even though it says x min work time it gets harder to work as time goes on.

    Definitely not hard, but definitely the sort of thing you want to be organised with. I was only doing a small patch, but in a hard to reach spot and Ymmv, but I found it useful to do a dry run of the physical motions of how I'd pour it, verify I'd reached the required hieght, etc.

    Don't be. It's very easy. Mix it up, spread it around, leave to settle. Just don't do what I did at an ex's flat, and lay it all over the hall floor without working out how you're going to leave the flat while it's drying.

  • Main thing to worry about is any holes. I laid our hearth with it (not real fire) and lost the first batch completely into the floor. Expanding foam and caulk were my friends after that.
