It might be a requirement, contingent on the intended use of the space, for a survey by a structural engineer to conform to building regulations on flex strength, load bearing and point loadings of the screed floor.

A skilled and qualified work force is necessary for a successful result and will extend your floor's lifespan through the use of the right sort of screed for your room's intended purpose. The correct mix of screed and the way it is laid is also critical to ensure the final intergrity of your floor.

Before deciding on a floor screeding specialist from those based in the Addlestone area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their quotation, and also make sure that you get multiple quotes from different companies. The Surface Regularity (SR) finish is the number to watch out for when reviewing a quote from Addlestone screeding companies. SR2 and SR3 will be less costly options, however the floor screeding finish might have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect quality of finish. This means you might have to rectify any patches that could cause problems when putting down your final flooring solution.

British Standards BS8204 sets down the regulations and guidelines that all Addlestone screeding installers must follow, and if applying specialist screeding solutions, (Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol etc), they must be certified by the manufacturers as being skilled and trained in their use. The training and testing of a floor screeding contractor by such manufacturers is underlined through this accreditation scheme, and guarantees safe working practices and reliability on any project which involves their materials.

Addlestone commercial screeders might be involved in the screeding of floors in hotels, shops, schools, hospitals, factories and warehouses.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Widely used in residential flooring projects where the mixture of cement and sand is good for normal floor traffic use. The ratios involved are five parts sand to one part cement. This 5:1 ratio standard flooring screed will set hard at a rate of just 1mm per day after applying.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there is a need to use the area in question ASAP a fast drying screed can be employed. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm/day, subject to the mix, they are typically a fibre reinforced type of screed and are perfect for projects which have tight schedules.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are high or heavy loading of the floor is needed, heavy duty screeds allow for maximum durability and strength.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favourite choice of professional screeders for use with underfloor heating systems. The fibres in this screed mix increase overall strength and durability while also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. The screed will set hard at a rate of 1mm/day.

Polymer Screeds - Provides an extremely high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Maker's guidelines for drying times vary across the product ranges.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A cement and latex formula which can produce the highest standard SR1 finish. This is mostly needed to produce a clean, smooth floor over a damaged or poor quality substrate and results in a finish onto which all forms of flooring materials can be laid. The liquid screed can be poured to a thickness of just 1mm, but will still provide a high strength base to take a selection of flooring materials.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a good quality finish which is hard wearing and durable, time should be devoted to fully preparing the area before any screed is poured. It is vital that any contaminants such as oil, grease, loose debris or paint is removed from the floor surface before pouring any screed, as these can affect the adhesion process that a quality screed requires.

Any cleaning products that are used during this stage should leave no residues, and the floor base must be allowed to dry out naturally. It is essential to mend any crevices or cracks in the base to prevent them being mirrored and "travelling" upwards into your freshly screeded floor. During an on-site survey your Addlestone screeding contractor will establish what preparation work is necessary before starting to work on the screeding.

Before the screeding can be laid a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be installed to shield the screed and final flooring from moisture damage. The DPM is made of thick polythene and different layers might be used to act as a moisture barrier for the screed.

If the area is at risk from radon gas then a further barrier is needed to prevent this harmful gas from entering from the ground. This could be just a simple air-tight membrane, or in severe cases a ventilation and extraction system will need to be installed under the screeding to draw out any influx of radon gas from the ground.

The final stage of the surface preparation process is the painting or spraying of a primer or sealer. These sealers and primers will ensure that the screed bonds successfully to the base surface and help to achieve a top quality finished floor. Devices such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a primer or sealant, which should be done by certified screeding contractors in Addlestone observing the manufacturer's guidelines.

If you are going to be installing under floor heating, this is the time that it will need to be correctly set out and installed. Insulation panels can be put in place and the heating pipes and cabling will be securely mounted so there's no movement while the screed is being poured. Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system will provide even level of warmth all over the floor.

The screeding can now be prepared in situ and poured onto the floor base. The particular requirements of the room will determine the kind of screeding that is used. After the pouring of the screed there'll be at least twenty four hours (for advanced and quick drying screeds) before you can walk upon the surface, and a seventy two hour minimum curing time for any floor covering installations. If you're hoping to wind up with a nicely finished and durable floor surface you should stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to standard and heavy duty screeds where the waiting period will be increased.

The SR level of your screeding can be checked once it has set enough to be stepped onto. The standard SR test uses a 2m long straight-edge to check for any fluctuations in the floor surface.

  • SR1 - SR1 is the highest level and allows just 3 millimetres of deviation from the straight-edge.
  • SR2 - The standard flooring in industrial and commercial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of 5 millimetres across the entire screeded surface.
  • SR3 - If the deviation around the room is 10mm or less the screeding quality is classified as SR3 and is suitable for garage and utility areas.

If you require load bearing checks, a qualified structural engineer is needed to perform the testing. The testing will make sure that your newly laid screeding is viable for the load bearing requirements set down in the original site survey. This should include a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. Any screed floor that's got load bearing requirements must be okayed by a certified structural engineer obeying the British Standards BS8204 regulations.
