The garage is effectively sealed at ground level. On one end there’s a utility room which is already tiled, at the other there’s a large strip of wood acting as a ledge. It is quite possible that before the garage was built (it’s not part of the original build), the entire drive sloped towards the road so that’s a fair point, thanks Mike.
No need for cars and things inside the garage, the plan at the moment is to use it for a dog grooming business so there will be cages and a low sink and grooming tables in there. But the floor needs to be level, waterproof and easy to clean.
(i’m not sure that dry screed is for me)
So from what I can gather I need to do the following:
1. Remove all the paint, clean concrete.
2. Batten out the entire floor so I have a level guide that is perfectly horizontal.
3. Get that screed on the floor, run a piece of timber over it to make it level, smooth it off with a plasterers trowel.
4. Let it go off
5. Not sure if I need to use leveller at that point but lets assume not.
6. Tile.
Sound good?
