Your screeding company will also tell you if a structural engineer is required for your project, to evaluate any point loadings, load bearing and flex strength that your flooring might need to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

Bringing in a highly trained and skilled specialist will ensure that you get the right type of screed for the room's allocated purpose and get the maximum lifespan out of your floor. The correct mixture of screed and the techniques used in laying it are also vital to guarantee the final intergrity of your floor surface.

There are numerous screeding companies in and around Claygate so see if you can get multiple quotes for your project before picking a contractor and know to what standard of finish it's for. For domestic homes an estimate will generally be provided for a Surface Regularity (SR) level of SR1 or SR2. Each of the three SR levels offer different levels of finish, with SR1 offering the highest quality, with the least amount of deviation over the surface area. An SR2 or SR3 level may mean there will be ridges or flat spots that might cause issues when putting down your final floor surface.

The guidelines and regulations set out in in the British Standards BS8204 have to be observed by any Claygate floor screeding contractor and they must also hold accreditation with the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc.) to substantiate their competence and safe working practices. This accreditation scheme demonstrates a contractor's performance and training in the usage of a manufacturer's products.

Claygate commercial screeders will be involved in the screeding of floors in shops, schools, warehouses, hospitals, salons and factories.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A blend of sand and cement which is good for everyday domestic use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. The standard flooring screed will dry at a rate of 1mm thickness per day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A cement and latex mixture which can produce the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. It's primarily used to provide a clean, smooth floor over a poor quality or damaged substrate and results in a surface finish onto which all types of flooring materials can be laid. They can be as little as 1mm thick, and because of the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

Polymer Screeds - These provide an extremely high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Polymer screeds are made by a number of manufacturers and because of their varying chemical compositions have specific drying times for each individual product.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there is a need to progress urgently with the flooring on account of time constraints, this screed dries much faster than standard flooring screeds. They're generally a fibre reinforced kind of screed that dries out at a rate of between three and seven millimetres per day and are used in time-sensitive projects.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for domestic use on top of under floor heating. This is due to the improved durability and protection against thermal cracking and shrinkage offered by the fibres within the screed mix. It has a drying rate of 1mm per day.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Designed for maximum durability and strength on floors where traffic is high or specific loading of the floor is needed.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Good preparation is crucial for a top quality screed surface that will be hard wearing and durable. The existing floor surface should be thoroughly cleaned to eradicate any debris, paint, grease and oil which might affect the adhesion of the screeding.

Any cleaning chemicals which are used in this process shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry out naturally. It is essential to fix any crevices or cracks in the base to avoid them being reflected and "travelling" upwards into the freshly screeded floor. An experienced Claygate screeding company will take note of such issues during a on-site survey and make sure that all preparations are completed before pressing on with the next stages of the floor screeding process.

To shield the screed layer and flooring materials from dampness rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be laid. The damp proof membrane is made out of thick polythene and different layers could be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screeding.

A further air-tight barrier might be required if your house is in a location that is regarded as susceptible to radon gas. A simple airtight membrane could be enough in areas with relatively low radon emissions, however in more extreme cases there might need to be a more sophisticated ventilation and extraction system to take away any harmful radon.

Once the base has been prepared and all membranes installed, a primer or sealer is then put on. These primers and sealers will ensure that the screed bonds successfully to the base and help to accomplish a top quality finished floor. These materials need experienced tradesmen to apply them in the correct ratios by using bespoke equipment, such as airless sprays.

If you're installing under floor heating, now is the time that it will need to be set out and installed. Insulation panels can be arranged and the heating pipes and cables will be securely fastened so that there is no movement while the screed is poured. Warmth is evenly spread across the floor in a properly fitted under floor heating system, and with it being an efficient choice of heating, it is a good choice for most Claygate home restoration projects.

The screeding can now be prepared on site and spread onto the floor base. Your proposed use of the room will assist the screeding contractor on what type of floor screed is appropriate for your requirements. For quick drying screeds there will be at least twenty four hours delay before it can be walked on, and a further Three days minimum before you are able to lay any flooring materials. If you're laying heavy duty or standard screeds the setting time is longer and you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines so as to get the best finish for your floor.

The SR level of your screeding can be checked once it has solidified enough to be walked on. The basic SR test involves the use of a two metre straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the floor surface.

  • SR1 - SR1 is the highest specification and permits just 3 millimetres of deviation from the straight-edge.
  • SR2 - If the screeded floor deviates from the straight edge by five millimetres or less it is classified as SR2 quality and is the standard for commercial and industrial floors.
  • SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a perfect finish is not required. This level allows for a maximium deviation of 10 millimetres.

There may also be a requirement for a qualified structural engineer to do a soundness test. Using specialised equipment the structural engineer will assess the screed surface strength and suitability of use in a load bearing environment. This will include a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. Only qualified structural engineers heeding the British Standards BS8204 regulations are allowed to conduct such tests and sign off on the structural safety of a screed floor.
