Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help, or direct me to the right direction.

I am in the final stages of building a base for a garage, now just
need to put a top screed on top of the concrete that was poured in for
the base. the base needs leveled from a range of 5mm to about 15mm at
points due to uneven concrete.

Can anyone recommend a mix to use to level it that will be strong
enough for a car to go on top of? someone said to me previously a
cement, sand and ballast mix, but I don't know at what ratios and if is
still the best mix? I don't really want to spend to much but want to
do it right of course.

Can any help? Apologies if I've posted in the wrong place, just
couldn't see anywhere else.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Shaiboy_UK

Pretty thin stuff to roll a car over. (Will crack abd break up.)
My *guess* is your a good candidate for a latex-type concrete. Better talk
with your local concrete supplier.
