Self levelling floor product help please

JuzaMum

Hi
I want to put some flooring down in my porch and the floor is not level. It's concrete and a little bit of old tiling under the carpet (put down as a temporary measure and couple of years back!). There are built in cupboards. Can anyone recommend a good product, ideally available in small quantities (area is 90cm x 160cm) and suggest the best way to do it as it may seep into the bottom of the cupboards. Tia

What kind of tape would be best? Thanks

Do the plinths come off?
If so, usually easier to lay a floor going under the units and inch or so, and then trim the plinths (along their tops) to fit - neater and easier.

No, they don't

What type of flooring are you going to put down.

I am going to lay a penny floor, pennies glued down, grouted then covered with resin

They can look really good. Put some photos up when it's finished.

Self-levelling compound would be your best bet, but since it might seep under the cupboards, you’ll need to seal any gaps with masking tape or a bit of silicone first. For a small area, look for a ready-mix option like Mapei or Ardex in 5kg bags from Screwfix or B&Q. Just prime the surface first for best results!
