How to redo the patio surface?

Jnguyen

Hi Team,

I bought an old house with front patio full of rough cement or concrete glue. The previous owner just took tiles out and left everything like in pictures below

I am planning to use the self leveling cement to smoothen the surface but my friends try to stop me from doing that

Could you guys give an some ides how to diy this problem. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jnguyen,

Thank you for your question about resurfacing your patio.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a self-levelling product that is suitable for application over tile adhesive in an external application.

There may be a product that can be used for this application, but you'll have to allow me to contact our suppliers when they reopen tomorrow.

It may be worth the effort to remove the tile adhesive using a Floor Stripper as this will take your patio back to the bare concrete which can then be finished however you please.

If you choose to go down this route, I'd suggest calling your local store to enquire about hiring the floor stripper as it is offered in conjunction with Coates Hire and will require some organisation prior to pick up.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will get back to you tomorrow with our suppliers' advice.

Jacob
