So I may have done an oopsie.
We are putting self-levelling compound down over floor where I removed the vinyl tiles. Some of the tiles had a white powder which had pushed them up. This is a concrete ground floor with no basement. So my plan was to seal over the bitumen and then put self...
I’m nearly there with a bathroom tiling Project and managed to make it this far before getting stumped!
I’ve got Marmox insulation board to lay beneath Warmup DCM-Pro mat. I had planned to use the fleece backed mat with adhesive but I can’t find the mat in the uk. So I’ll have to use the self...
Hello
l’m doing up a cottage in Dorset. I’m moving the kitchen into a ‘60’s built extension. It’s got a concrete slab and tho it doesn’t seem damp I can’t see any dpm. After talking to Everbuild/Sika’s technical department I’ve used their 908 Blackjack as a dpm with Sika latex levelling compound...
Will this work?

How smooth does the floor surface need to be before laying porcelain tiles?
I have removed tiles and theres bits of adhesive stuck to the floor causing small bumps, theres a few pits too. Can I lay tiles straight over this?
Hi all,
I have a small WC about 2m2.
I realise now, that I should have taken up the Chipboard floor, levelled the joist and replaced with Ply. However, I went ahead and fitted and levelled the concealed toilet and have burned too much time to rip it all out.
I realised, that the floor was not...
Hi Does any one know of a self levelling compound, for external use that can be applied on 7 day old concrete? I know for adhesive BAL do the green screed and am looking for something to work with this.
Thanks
Hi All,
Doing an install at the moment which requires me to self level in two stages. I have put leveller over leveller in the past (priming between coats) and not thought much of it. However today I had a query and decided to call the manufacturers technical team and to my surprise they told...
Good morning tilers,
A neighbour has recently asked me to look at tiling the floor in his garden room. The screed is incredibly rough and will need levelling first - the problem is he has already gone over it with a DPM (liquid I think). This is a new problem for me and I'm not sure how/if...
Hi everyone,
Hope to get some help and advice please.
I have laid down 8mm of self levelling compound on a concrete floor after priming it so it was a good level to work off (I also included an 8mm expansion joint around the perimeter) (Conservatory is 15 years old and area of 14 m2).
I then...

Hi,
I'm tiling my 12m^2 conservatory - Concrete base, Self levelled, 20mm Jackoboards, Prowarm mat, self levelling compound, then 600mm square porcelain tiles.
So far I have self levelled the base, and stuck the jackoboards down - all really nice and flat so far.
Now I need to fit the UFH mat...
So I used some Mapei self levelling compound in my bathroom, it looks alright to the bare eye, but when checking with a straight edge (length of laminate in this case) there are still dips in the floor. Do I need more slc, or did I do something wrong?
It's hard to tell from the pics, but the...
Hi all, needed some advice. Can you fit kitchen floor tiles on a surface made level using a latex self levelling compound.
Can you tile straight onto the latex levelled surface or would you need to do something else before laying the tiles.
I hope i have been clear and if not apologies as this...
had a quote back from a supplier for electric ufh and they’ve included 30 bags/bottles of ultra level it 2 slc.
Ive used mapei renovation screed recently, what/if are the benefits of 2 bottle/bag?
Hi all,
Firstly I would like to say this forum has a lot of useful content, I’ve found it extremely helpful over the past few weeks as a diy tiler.
I’ve installed an electric ufh mat and put down a suitable self levelling compound. The compound is pretty much dry and I’ve noticed in some areas...
Hi Everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice for how I can get some floor tiles in my kitchen.
I'm in the process of refitting it with help from my father in law. The original floor was vinyl, on top of a mostly crumbled self levelling cement on top of some very unlevel quarry...
i have used this to level out a bathroom floor (link below)
Ultra Level It One Fibre Plus | Topps Tiles - https://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod45932/ultra-level-it-one-fibre-plus.html
do i need to prime this before tiling ? and if so what ratio.
So this is my first time using SLC, it's Mapei ULTRAPLAN 3240. Once I was coming to the end of the mix I notice a sludge at the bottom, I assume because I've mixed too fast *Facepalm. I mixed half a 25kg bag. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm worried the mixed might be too wet now...
Afternoon all, I will be self levelling a 20sqm floor to a depth of 20mm using a flexi levelling compound. My question is, should I fit a decoupling membrane before tiling commences? Thanks in advance, Stu.
