I have a porch floor that's been taken back to the concrete slab, which is around 70mm lower than the other floors. I'm intending to tile it, and the tiles and adhesive will be around 13mm in height. This means I'll have to raise the height of the floor around 50 to 60mm prior to tiling. From...

Wasn’t sure if bonding was better suited to thiner coats for flattening, and hardwall for large thick section, but I’m not super experienced and happy to go with bonding if someone who knows what they’re doing would use it. Would you use something like blue grit or PVA to prep the surface, or...

Recently stripped my kitchen out and ended up pulling some of the render off the wall when removing tiles etc. I’ve removed everything loose and what’s left is sound, but it is generally a very soft and powdery render. I’ve done a bit of plastering before but by no means an expert, wondering...

I'll go with that, cheers

Hmm yeah I was thinking about tiling it. There's also some other areas in the porch not shown in this picture which are quite uneven. Would it be best to level with some sort of board before tiling? And would I need to then deal with the issues of mould behind the levelling boards?

I'm not, but I did a short course and can get a decent finish. Don't really know how to handle situations other than straight forward skimming over plasterboard or regular walls though. I thought about putting some battens on and then using moisture proof plasterboard, and adding a window board...

I have a porch made of single skin brick. It previously had a thick coating on, which I’ve removed where it’s flaking. The window and door frames around the patch only extent a little bit, so I’d say any coating would have to remain under about 8mm to 10mm. I’m wondering if I can coat it with...
