It might be necessary, based on the intended use of the room, for a structural engineering survey to conform with building regulations on point loadings, flex strength and load bearing of the screed floor.

Working with a highly trained and skilled specialist will ensure that you get the right kind of screed for the room's intended purpose and get the maximum lifespan out of the resulting floor. There are numerous kinds of screed and selecting the correct mix and installation approach is essential to create a top quality floor which is hard-wearing and fit for purpose.

There are many screeding specialists in and around Bridlington so try to get multiple estimates for your project before choosing a contractor and know to what standard of finish it's for. For domestic properties a quotation will usually be provided for an SR (Surface Regularity) level of SR1 or SR2.

An SR2 or SR3 level may mean there are flat spots or ridges that might cause problems when putting down your final floor surface.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A combination of sand and cement which is ideal for basic domestic use. Five parts sand to one part cement is the typical mixture for standard flooring screeds. The standard screed will dry at a rate of one millimetre thickness each day.

Polymer Screeds - Provides an extremely high level of strength with a reduced thickness. The curing times vary as outlined by proprietary product guidelines.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Mostly used with under floor heating systems and is the preferred option in these projects. The fibres in this screed mix improve it's strength and durability whilst also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. At about 1mm per day, it has an identical drying rate to standard floor screed.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A latex and cement material which can produce the highest standard SR1 finish. Largely used to finalise a poor substrate level or damaged floor so as to lay a new flooring surface, like vinyl planks over the top of it. Even with a thickness of 1mm, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a variety of uses.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Made for maximum strength and durability in places where traffic is high or specific loading of the floor is necessary.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries rapidly and allows you to use the screeded area much sooner. Drying at a rate of three to seven millimetres, determined by the mix, they are usually a fibre reinforced screed and are perfect for flooring projects that have tight schedules.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make sure the screeding is of a high quality finish which is durable and hard wearing, time should be devoted to carefully preparing the area prior to any screeding material being laid. Any debris, oil, grease and paint on the existing floor surface can adversely affect the adhesion of the screed, and must be eradicated.

If cleansing products have been used it's important to remove any traces of soap etc, and allow the floor surface to dry naturally. It's essential to fix any cracks or crevices in the floor surface to stop them being reflected and "travelling" up into the freshly screeded floor. A site survey will enable your Bridlington screeding contractor to pinpoint these preparation areas and finish them before commencing to pour the screeding layer.

To shield the flooring materials and screeding layer from dampness rising up through the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be laid. Different thicknesses of polythene sheets might be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.

If your property is located in a place where radon is found an extra barrier layer is needed to stop radon gas from seeping through. If radon gas occurs in large amounts then a full extraction and ventilation system may be installed beneath the screed which will remove any gases that are seeping in from the ground.

The final phase of surface preparation is the painting or spraying of a sealant or primer. A primer assists in the screed bonding process to the base surface and different varieties exist based on which screed type is being used. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays can be used to apply a primer or sealant, by professional screeding companies in Bridlington sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Before the screeding can be laid, any under floor heating (if required) will now be installed. The under floor heating system will be carefully positioned and attached firmly to insulation panels to avoid any movement in the course of the screed pouring process. Under floor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a properly installed system should deliver even warmth in all areas of the floor.

If you are not fitting under floor heating the screed can now be prepared on site and poured. Your use of the room will help the screeding contractor on which type of floor screed is perfect for your needs. After the pouring of the screed there will be a minimum 24 hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you are able to walk upon the surface, and a 72 hours minimum curing period for any floor covering installations. If you're aiming to wind up with a properly finished and durable floor surface you should follow the manufacturer's guidelines with regard to heavy duty and standard screeds where the time period will be increased.

The SR standard of your screed can be confirmed once it has solidified sufficiently to be walked upon. The test involves using a 2m straight edge laid down upon the floor surface and any variations from true are measured.

  • SR1 - SR1 is the highest level and permits just 3mm of deviation from the straight-edge.
  • SR2 - SR2 is the classification for standard floors in commercial and industrial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as 5mm.
  • SR3 - If the deviation around the whole space is 10 millimetres or less the quality of the screeding is classed as SR3 and is the standard required for garage and utility areas.

If you need to check the floor for load bearing, a structural engineer is necessary to conduct the testing. This assessment will ascertain the overall strength of the screed surface and its viability for the intended use. The screeding should be subjected to what's known as a drop hammer test to gauge flexibility and strength at distinct points. Any screed floor that's got point load requirements must be approved by a certified structural engineer obeying the BS8204 guidelines.
