Hello, we have just purchased an old building and now have many questions. For example: we have a concrete floor with a large hole in it. Below the hole, there is a cavity about 5-10cm (2-4 inches) deep, followed by debris and sand. I would like to fill this hole with mortar, but does that work on a sandy base? Can I simply apply mortar generously once it has dried through, or will I face the same issues again in spring as we do with our roads?

I look forward to your answers...

Best regards, Thomas

Pictures say more than a thousand words...

Year of construction?
How big is the hole? And where has the reinforcement gone?

Am I correct in understanding that this is not an indoor floor but an outdoor surface?
