What’s the best & easiest way to level a kitchen floor?
Are these self levelling solutions actually self levelling?
Cheers all

it depends on how much its out, they'll level a small amount but if you apply thick coats, it won't go off for weeks and its not cheap, best way level it using wooden battens set to level and fill with granite and sand mix, or put a wooden floor in,

I've done it only once but recently. A lot of the "per square metre" consumption figures assume a 3mm floor thickness. My kitchen floor didn't seem that much out but when I spread out just 3mm thick of compound it really didn't make much difference to level. It certainly made it smooth though.
Maybe if I'd made it 9mm thick it would have made more difference I'm not sure - I never measured accurately how much it was out and maybe I should have done. But if it was 9mm or 12mm out that would be 3 or 4 times as much compound which would have been quite expensive.
