Don't know about local to Surrey - I found internet delivery the only way to get the stuff...

I got mine here:

they don't list it - might be worth phoning them

Also

*will* need some P131 (if you have certain screed to go over - check the data sheet), P121 Do not skimp on using this - it ensures adhesion and also allows the Stopgap to stay wet - putting Stopgap direct on any sort of absorbant surface will ruin it.

?m=product_detail&p=17055P131 goes on with a big brush or cheap paint roller.

Ideally for the Stopgap 300, make one of these up:

the 3 roundhead screws on the top of the Tee - this allows you to quickly push a bucketload of stopgap allover whilst gauging it to a nominal depth (I set mine to 3mm) - if you move it out fast, it will find its own level fairly reliably.

It is more reliable if you stand in it with your wellies for 10-15 minutes and work it all over with a spiked roller. Gets the air out and helps it to keep flowing alloing gravity to take care of the level completely. Expect near millpond perfection - if you have a slope to deal with it is worth putting more Stopgap down in one goe to ensure >3mm thickness over all parts of the floor. It has *some* visosity so if you put it over a hump that needs

1mm coverage, you will tend to still end up with a slight hump unles syou are in a position to "rule it off" between guides.

For a cloakroom which is presumably small(?), your single bag will probably be fine but working it with a spikey roller (even a small one) will help tremendusly to get your final surface flat.

PS - not hoping to put it over bitumenous old adhesive are you?
