Afternoon all.

i've moved into a house that has a rather uneven concrete garage floor. It has the a finish that is quite lumpy in lines (I think from when it was initially laid), and there are a few areas that have worn a little. I would guess the worst case lumps and dents are about 5-10mm deep.

I'm not planning on putting anything heavy in there other than it being a workshop for doing small stuff, like building RC planes, working on my bike etc. I was hoping to level the floor, and then fit a nice thick rubber or vinyl floor on top.

I have had a quick look in wickes and found this stuff: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Special-Mortars/Latex-Floor-Levelling-Compound/invt/224669 Is that the sort of stuff I need to use to go over the existing concrete to get it nice and flat/Level?

The only other thing, is what to do where the garage door shuts. It only clears the existing floor by a few mm, so adding anything there is going to cause problems with the door not being able to shut.... I guess I can't avoid having a step there if I am going to install a fairly thick rubber floor mat though.....

Finish the floor with a small lip just inside the doors.

I used this stuff smaller bags but price per kilo is a lot less if your using a few bags http://search.diy.com/search#?p=Q&lbc=diy&uid=896575188&ts=ajax&w=levelling%20compound&af=br:unibond%20type:products%20%20&iso rt=score&method=and&view=grid
Best using a drill mounted paddle for mixing.
Cheers,
Bob
