  • Poured five bags of self leveller on my living room floor yesterday. Initial results look good this morning: smooth, at least, but there's areas where it definitely isn't flat. Or particularly level. Is that normal? Should I try and grind any higher spots down? Or pour another thin top layer and hope that fixes it? Or leave it because I'm only going to make it worse?

  • Did you just pour it out and walk away? Self-leveller is a misnomer really, you do need to help it along with levelling with a long baton then spiked roller.

    Quite commonly it's mixed with more water than the instructions state so it's even less viscous, for better results.
    Pouring another thin (i.e. dilute) layer on top will be the least work, but be aware the height difference to adjacent rooms will only increase, and that it is a dark art that requires practice so great results on your first attempt is luck-dependent.
