Protilers - latex screeding a floor

[Protilers]

Evening all....just got back from screeding a 45m2 floor......
it was a really rough floor coated with a Silka DPM.........
All the materials used were from Weber...........as per spec......
first off we used Weber PR360 primer..........

here is how it went:

here is how it looked after it has dried.....

its a really good floor and I am not going to get to tile it...........(gutted!)
this job was completed for a major wood flooring contractor in London..........

It did have a damp problem DPF.........and there has been a plastic membrane installed and then a floor screed (S&C).....then they have applied a liqud membrane with aggrigatte.....and I have gone over that.....

but I have to be honest..........I have no idea what "pitch" is?

all the best buddy

Pitch (resin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it was used all the time years ago when i used to screed houses , usually roofing contractors used to boil-it -up and then they applied it to the oversight concrete with an old mop-head , it looked just like your floor as they sometimes used to dash sand into it to give it key ,then a day or two later we would screed onto it ,that was the DPM !.....

Looks like they are going to carry on having a damp problem, looks to me they have plastered down to floor !

Depends how it is tanked and where the walls DPM is in relation to the floor. Looks like new plaster where skirtings have been removed

Yes i was wondering myself as i'am a qualified dam-proofing operative, did it years ago, and we were always taught to remove the plasterwork at a hight of 1M all around the room and that just guessing the scale against things in the rooms is to low, also there appears to be salts comming -out on the walls where its not been taken off properly ( trouble there already ) the reason you remove 1m high is because rising damp can never go any higher that 1m ,so you always assume that its infected to that hight !!!...........
