Bringing in a highly trained and qualified flooring specialist will ensure you get the right sort of screed for the room's allocated purpose and get the optimum lifespan out of the resulting floor. There are numerous kinds of floor screed and picking the right mix and laying method is crucial to create a top quality floor that is durable and fit for purpose.

Before selecting a screeding contractor from those operating in the Beverley area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their quote, and also make sure you get multiple quotations. The quotation might be based on what is called the Surface Regularity, or SR calculation. SR2 and SR3 could be less expensive options, although the finished floor surface may have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a perfect finish. Any errors or imperfections in the screeding (as might arise with SR2 or SR3) may cause problems in laying flooring because of flat spots, indentations, ridges in the floor surface.

All Beverley screeding contractors must stick to British Standards (BS8204) and ought to have accreditation from screeding material and equipment manufacturers, e.g. Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor. The testing and training of a screeding company by such manufacturers is emphasised through the accreditation scheme, and guarantees reliability and safe working practices on any flooring project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A blend of cement and sand which is perfect for regular residential usage. This mix uses a 5 to 1 ratio of sand to cement. Once laid this 5:1 ratio will dry at a rate of one millimetre per day.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is essential. The drying times for these vary as outlined by proprietary product guidelines.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - A screed that is designed for heavy traffic and high load areas where maximum durability and strength is crucial.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If you need to move forward urgently with the work owing to time constraints, this screed dries more speedily than standard flooring screeds. Most of the fast or advanced drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are perfect for a wide variety of flooring projects where the quicker curing rate of 3-7mm/day is a welcome advantage.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When a high standard of finish is necessary this mix of of cement and latex is used to achieve SR1 level screeding. The self-levelling compound provides a smooth and clean surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to enable all forms of flooring materials to be laid. These can be as little as 1mm thick, and thanks to the latex polymers, will still provide high strength.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured option where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Beverley. The greater flex and strength offered by the special fibres within the screed mix help protect the floor from thermal cracking and shrinkage. It dries out at an identical rate to a standard screed of 1mm per day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a high quality finish that's hard wearing and durable, time must be devoted to preparing the area before any screeding material is poured. It is vital that any contaminants such as oil, paint, loose debris or grease is eliminated from the base before pouring any screed, as these can affect the adhesion process that a quality screed demands.

If cleaning products were used it is crucial to remove any remnants of soap or detergent, and leave the surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor then all cracks should be repaired to stop them from "travelling" through your screed layer and producing deviations on the finished floor surface. During an on-site survey your Beverley screeding specialist will ascertain what preparation work is necessary before starting to work on the screeding.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be installed after the preparation work has been done to stop ground moisture affecting the flooring materials and screed. The damp proof membrane is made out of thick polythene sheeting and different layers could be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screed.

If your home is located in a place where radon gas is present an additional barrier layer is necessary to prevent radon gas from getting through. A simple airtight membrane may be sufficient in locations with relatively low radon measurements, however in more extreme cases there may need to be a more sophisticated extraction and ventilation system to take away any ground penetrating radon gases.

Once these steps have been taken the screeders will put on a primer or sealant to the prepared floor base. A primer assists in the screed to bond successfully to the base and membranes and different types exist based upon which kind of screed is being applied. Owing to their specialist nature, only professional screeding contractors in Beverley are capable of using them safely and correctly and through the use of equipment which is made for this task.

Before the screeding can be laid, any under floor heating (if required) will now be laid out. The cables and heating pipes are securely mounted on insulation panels to stop any movement and make certain they're held in the correct position. Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a properly installed system will deliver even level of warmth in all areas of the floor.

If you aren't installing underfloor heating the screed will now be prepared on site and laid. The requirements of the room will determine the form of screeding that is used. Be aware that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you're able to walk on any laid surfaces and at least 72 hours before any floor coverings can be applied. Such periods will be increased for heavy duty and standard screeds and the manufacture's guidelines should be followed to achieve the optimum finish and longevity of the floor.

The SR standard of your screed can be confirmed once it's set enough to be stepped onto. The basic SR test uses a 2 metre long straight-edge to check for any variations in the screeded surface.

• SR1 - Disparities of 3mm or less as measured over the entire floor area shows your screed to be of the highest quality and is classed as SR1.

• SR2 - The normal standard flooring in industrial and commercial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of 5 millimetres across the entire floor surface.

• SR3 - If the deviation is 10 millimetres or less the quality of the screeding is classed as SR3 and is fine for garage and utility areas.

If your screed has been installed with specific loading in mind then a structural engineer will be needed to perform the assessment. Using specialised equipment the engineer will evaluate the screeding strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. This can include what's known as a drop hammer test which records specific data on the strength and flexibility of the screed. Only experienced structural engineers respecting the British Standards BS8204 guidelines are allowed to carry out such testing and sign off on the structural integrity of screed flooring.
