Leveller for small part of chipboard floor

JBuk · 9 Dec 2019 at 17:06

I have a bit of chipboard floor about 400mm x 400mm that sits 4mm below the rest of the floor, there’s a hard 4mm step around the the perimeter so will be noticeable when I carpet it soon

any recommendations on which product to use, I’m struggling to find any specific for chipboard

Also a few floor boards have bits missing, any easy was to fix this or would it be easier chopping them out and replacing?

Could you insert a piece of 4mm plywood?

Agree - lift the board and raise it from underneath wherever it's resting on supports. Then your actual floor surface is proper, rather than having an odd patch.

I can’t lift the board , it’s too big of a job as part of it forms the subfloor of a luxury vinyl floor , I have looked at putting plywood down to fill the step but it would still require some leveller on it

Would latex screed do the job?

Either infill it with 4mm ply or fill it with latex floor levelling compound.
