screeding is a term that can confuse as people could mean a screed up to 100mm or they could be talking about screeding with self levelling compound which which is normally up to about 12mm, although some companies make self levelling compound that does up to 50mm.

if its self levelling compound use a trowel to spread it out then a straight edge then spiked roller over it. spiked rollers dont come cheap( £25-£50).

slc approx 1.5kg/m2/mm
bals a good make of slc.

if your getting it tiled the tiler will probably slc it before tiling, so might be worth getting a few quotes first.

hope it goes well.

Before you think about laying a screed or a self leveling compound, have you checked what your floor is made of? as I don't recall seeing it being mentioned. If its concrete then a screed or compound should be okay, but if it isn't then other solutions will have to be looked at.

Your replying to a topic with a last post of over 3 weeks ago so she has probably sorted it out by now. That or got her kitchen door wedged so tight she cannot get out of the kitchen.........no sexist female jokes about she being stuck in the best place for a woman.

I hope she didn't attempt lifting a 25kg bag of slc on her own or she could be in hospital.

I had my uneven concrete kitchen floor screeded in August this year. The work was carried out by a contractor recomended by the shop supplying my floor covering.

A self leveling compound was used, but first the original floor was sealed with a specialist compound to ensure the quality and durability of the finish. The fitter had a whole series of implements to prepare and lay the compound. We were told not to walk on the floor for 24 hours to allow it to dry.

The result was excellent and well worth the £120 charged for 15sq Metres in my opinion.
