After digging an exploratory hole in the dining room floor (it's a concrete floor) and having discovered that the Victorian pammets (bricks) don't cover more than half the floor, I need to fill the hole.
It's 1m Square and at its deepest is 70mm deep. I need to fill it so that I can tile over the top.
Would Wickes Deep Base Levelling compound do the trick? It says 5-50mm
- if I use it should I do two pours?

Bitstreams wibbled:
Is there a DPM in the floor? It's quite possible there isn't - in which case many compounds won't like it.

No there isn't - the Wickes one says it will cover brick and stone, but I guess that's not the point.

In the absence of specific knowledge about the Wickes one, I *do* know that F Ball Stopgap 900 will cope with damp substrates as I'm about to use it.
AFAICS, the data sheet says it is cement + aluminates (so similar to most other levelling compounds) PLUS an acrylic guaging liquid.
It's really designed to flatten the floor prior to sticking their epoxy 2 pack DPM down, but it's possible you could just treat it as a leveller. - don't see why not...
Cheers
