Levelling a small section of an otherwise level concrete floor

intypo · 03-11-2016 07:51PM #1

I am going about installing laminate flooring, but after taking the carpet up I notice that I have roughly 1 foot wide strip parallel to the wall that has some slight dips in parts.

The area in question is the result of having gas heating installed last year. The installers dug a channel in the floor to lay the pipe and resurfaced it afterwards.

The remainder of the room is perfectly level, so using a floor leveling compound throughout the room seems overkill? Any suggestions on the simplest way to smooth over this section?

Some thin-set tile cement should be able to level out the low parts. Very handy stuff often use it for little jobs...

This stuff dries like cement, but is easy enough to work with:-

I use it for filling in holes in cement/brick all the time, like when you knock out an extractor fan.

That looks perfect, thanks!
