How do i level original timber floor,to lay floating floor over top G'day all,
Could anyone tell me how i go about filling in the low spots on pine t&g floorboards. I have kempass multi strip floating boards that are 14.5mm thick, i layed them in the lounge room and they are starting to open up along some of the joins where the dips are really bad.Before i lay them in the rest of the house I would like to try and fill the dips or hollows with something.
Any info or comments will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah there's enough room under the house, but i might try the ardex first.
Thanks ringtail.
Hey gazza, Is there a certain brand that's best to use.
Arditex is the one you want, very expensive though, about 70 bucks a kit (powder and latex), I'd try crawling around under your floor and try taking the sting out of it first, then finish off with the arditex if still required.
I might give that ago first, thanks for the advice fella's.
you want find this stuff at bunings, floor king in alburn has stock or syteko at chastwood
Ive just finished levelling my floor prior to the sanders coming in. The majority of it was ok for a 60 year old house but I had to cut my floor joists and flooring in the hall way and lift it 13 - 18 mm to take out a huge sag and then cripple one joist to take out a huge hump. 2 days work but worth it.
