A Floor Levelling Service Can Make Your Concrete Floors Completely Even

Do you have an uneven floor at home or work? If so, there is a solution! A professional Floor Levelling Service can make your concrete floors completely even and ready for new flooring to be laid.

Floor Levelling is a cementitious mixture, similar to concrete, but designed to have a much smoother consistency and flow, meaning that it can be poured and spread easily over your existing slab. It is also normally a lot easier to use than concrete and can be done by smart DIY owners, as long as all preparation is completed correctly.

Before attempting floor levelling, it is important to take the time to mark any areas of low or high spots on the surface. This will help you to identify the exact area that needs levelling. It is then crucial to sweep the whole surface to remove any dirt, dust and other debris that may be present. Once you have done this, you can then begin to prepare the floor for the self-levelling compound. This is usually achieved by cleaning the surface, applying a primer if necessary and mixing the compound according to manufacturer instructions.

Self-levelling compounds can be used over concrete floors that are slightly uneven, wood subfloors in good condition and even over ceramic tile floors, provided that the correct product is selected. The best option for your particular situation will be determined by a professional contractor who will be able to advise you on the correct product for your needs and recommend appropriate application methods.

For minor unevenness, a thin layer of floor screed ranging from 1-2 mm (feather-edge) up to 5 mm is normally sufficient. For moderate unevenness, a slightly thicker layer can be applied up to 12 mm. In both cases, it is essential that the compound is applied evenly with a gauge rake to ensure that the surface of the floor is as flat as possible.

If your floor has been damaged by water, or perhaps a vehicle has driven over it causing significant settlement and humps in the slab, we can carry out a stone slurry concrete floor lift. This process involves pumping a grout-like mixture of agricultural limestone and water under the settled slab to lift it back up to its original position and fill any voids underneath. This can be a quick and cost-effective solution for lifting sunken concrete floors, and it will also provide a stable base that will prevent future repeat settling.

To undertake this type of repair, it is often necessary to move furniture and other items out of the way, as well as to shut off any gas or electrical supplies that are located within the affected area. We can help with this pre-work, so do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss how we can assist you with your settling concrete repair.
