Ideally you want a self leveling screed Jimmy, they come in various colours.

Yep it would need cleaning off loose debris obviously prevents adhersion.

Generally a good brushing followed by the application of the relevant bonding agent does the job.

You could go for a sand/cement type screed though its not as clinical (still get surface break up/dust etc) and you can start running into issues with cracking and lifting/seperation easier than you will with a proper floor screed.

Not sure on price to do it yourslelf but i dont think your looking at more that say £250-300 for the materials.

As usual if you plan on doing it yourslef google should provide the direction needed.

If you want a pro company to do it let me know i should be able to source someone easy enough

Anyone done some garage smoothing? Whats it's called, screeding? I don't even know that much - but I could do with some advice on best aproach. I want it to be perfect of course but I'd rather not pay some random warrior to come do it unless I know they're ace, and cheap haha.

So yeah - what do I need, and how do I do it? The surface is good - garage is probably about 15 years old or less and lightly used. no oil or any of that madness I can see. I guess it'd need washing / sweeping out but any other prep?


help!
