Uneven floor out by 60mm - TilersForums.com

Board in 6mm cement boards , board the back area gradually up in from the centre to the back , build the rest out in slc to the front end .
Easiest job in the world

You could lift the existing floor and add some firrings to the joists, I think this is what I would do.
60mm is a fair drop even over 4m.

Thanks for all replies!

think this is the option we’re going for, keep costs down.

the house was built in 1840, so it’s abit wonky 😄

It’s just as good as the other options ,and a lot easier and cheaper than lifting everything and re laying joints and floor boards .
I have done it loads in many houses

my effort on my wonky old house from the days pre spirit levels!! Well, strictly speaking not fully my effort. i had to lift the floor due to the old shower leaking and added the noggins, rescrewed/bolted the exisitng, replace the furthest joist, add in the second furthest since it was missing etc etc.

labour of love these old gaff's !!

I would be tempted to use backer boards, less weight and easier to build up with the
different thickness's
