Fisherman Mike Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Latex SBL any good Tiling supplier will supply it Pour it on and it will self level. For thicker beds you will need the trowelled screed version. If its not to bad you can always make it up with a thicker mortar bed adhesive.

yickdaz Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 any self leveling compound will do, b&q do a good one and one bag is easily enough for 2sqm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsportshooter Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 If your going mainstream - Wickes (25Kg self leveling) is much cheaper than B&Q. You'll probably have to hit in in two goes but shouldt be a problem - Sets like rock and will level out a treat. I used some recently a little extra water, if you've got the time for it to go off and it gives a lovely smooth finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorianbuilders Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 If you need it thicker than 4-5mm in one hit you need to mix it with grit sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper3 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Hi Mikky depends on how good the subfloor is, (any damp problems ? ) if not Screedmaster 2 is a good all rounder.. personaly I wouldn't touch the stuff from B&Q .... if you have any doubts about the floor look at the Ardex range the only thing that is self leveling is water ;D getting the prep right can save you loads of grief...... Jasp..floorlayer not sure if you can hire them ...but a spiky roller makes a hell of a difference Edited August 14, 2012 by jasper3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE AD Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't forget to unibond pva the floor first or it may crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Setcrete, its awesome goes off real quick and will seriously do 60mm in one go. you must use the primer first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDFrain Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 dont bother with the unibond its water based so pretty pointless as it will all dry out in the end (my opinion), if you use a latex based one this be ready to just mix up and lay.

THE AD Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Do bother with unibond.If the floor is bone dry and we have hot weather when laying it will crack.Speaking from experience.DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND YOU WONT HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD OFF THE OLD BUILDER :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper3 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would not use unibond... if you are going to use a latex ie ardex..use a ardex primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ardex,setcrete or just a good screed. Do the job properly!! B and q stuff is ****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1 Man Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Ultra Level it 2 2 Part latex based compound...that's what I use...not cheap but afaiac the best there is. trowel into the corners and then go over it with a spiked roller for at least 5 mins to ensure an even flat coat.

TattooedClayBreaker Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Weber pr301 primer, diluted as per instructions on packaging for your chosen substrate, then weber floor flex SLC, can go up to 25mm. This is what I use on all floors, this stuff is the business. As Mk1 Man says use a a spiked roller, gets all the air pockets out for a smooth level finish. I would not recommend any products from B&Q or any of the DIY sheds, just my opinion though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
