My house has a 750-1m[x25m] wide poured concrete path between a retaining wall and direct against the house....
it's in good condition BUT at best it's level and worst it flows towards the house.....
with good clear running drains at each end...
I want to pour a new screed.....say about 100mm thick next to the house wall and down to about 30mm........
plan to use a 4-1mix...the stone/gravel size is washed Granite 8-14mm...
Will I need to use a water proofing addative.....? how does it change the screed to work..?
I only want to do this once.....
I ask cos I never work with concrete this thin....
also, I'd be quite happy to paint this new path with 2-pack outside garage floor paint I necc.....
The back of the house faces NNWest and due to geopgraphy this sub tropical rain gets power washed against the house...in a light storm u can 1/2 fill an English wheel barrow in a few hours.....
I have just fitted new H/D guttering....
these houses do not have a DPM....
I have at least four dry days next week and would like to get this done...
