Floor Screeding Colwyn Bay Wales (LL29): If you have an uneven or damaged floor, are aiming to install under floor heating or are restoring a property or basement in your Colwyn Bay property, then it's the perfect time to consider bringing in a professional floor screeder. Before you're able to lay a suitable floor covering, whether it's wood, carpet or tile, the floor surface needs to be as flat as is possible; which is why screeding a floor is sometimes essential. Floor screeding can provide a durable, quality finish for virtually any room.
FLOOR SCREEDING CONTRACTORS COLWYN BAY
A reliable floor screeding specialist in Colwyn Bay will have experience and know-how to help you achieve a perfectly finished floor in whichever size room you are renovating. After assessing your project they will advise you about the perfect choice of screeding and which method of applying it is most suited to your circumstances.

They'll in addition assess if a structural engineer is required to make certain any load bearing, point loadings and flex strength are met as outlined by building and construction regulations.
The skills and training that a qualified screeding specialist brings to your project should guarantee a high quality result and help in prolonging the lifetime of your flooring. There are numerous types of screeding and choosing the appropriate mix and laying approach is vital to create a quality floor which is long-lasting and fit for purpose.
Before selecting a floor screeding contractor from those based in the Colwyn Bay area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their quote, and also ensure that you get two or three price quotes. For residential homes an estimate will usually be provided for an SR (Surface Regularity) calculation of SR1 or SR2. SR2 and SR3 will be cheaper options, although the finished floor surface could have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. This means you may have to rectify any areas that might cause issues when putting down your finished flooring solution.

British Standards BS8204 sets down the regulations and guidelines that all Colwyn Bay screeding companies is obliged to follow, and if using specialist screeding solutions, (Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol etc), they ought to be certified by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. The assessment and training of a screeding contractor by such manufacturers is emphasised through this accreditation scheme, and gives assurances of safe working practices and reliability on any project which involves their materials.
Colwyn Bay commercial screeders could be involved in the screeding of floors in schools, shops, warehouses, factories, hospitals and salons.
TYPES OF SCREED
Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for normal domestic usage and comprises a blend of sand and cement. The ratios involved are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. After being laid a standard flooring screed dries out at a rate of just 1mm/day.
Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is needed due to building factors, a polymer screed provides an extremely high strength resolution to this situation. Polymer screeds are made by many screed manufacturers and on account of their different chemical compositions have specific curing times for each product.
Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex material which can produce the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. Mostly used to improve a damaged floor or poor substrate level to enable the laying of a new flooring surface, like tiles on the top of it. The liquid screed can be poured to a depth of just one millimetre, but still provides a high strength base for a varied selection of flooring materials.
Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to use the area as quickly as possible a fast drying screed can be utilised. These are normally a fibre reinforced type of screed which can dry at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are used in time dependent projects.
Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred choice by professional screeders for use with underfloor heating systems. This is due to the increased durability and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking provided by the fibres within the screed. At roughly 1mm per day, it has an identical setting rate to standard floor screed.
Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are expected to be high or heavy loading of the floor is necessary, heavy duty screeds allow for maximum durability and strength.
SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Screeding installers will need to fully prepare all areas before any other work so as to ensure a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The existing floor surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to eradicate any debris, oil, grease and paint which can adversely affect the adhesion of the screeding.

Any cleansing chemicals that are used in this stage should leave no residues, and the floor base must be permitted to dry out naturally. It's essential to repair any crevices or cracks in the floor surface to avoid them being mirrored and "travelling" up into your freshly screeded floor. A site survey will enable your Colwyn Bay screeding installer to pinpoint this preparation work and complete it before starting to pour the screeding layer.
To shield the flooring materials and screeding layer from moisture rising up from the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be laid. Different thicknesses of polythene sheeting could be used as a DPM and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.
If the area is at risk from radon gas then a further barrier is necessary to stop the gas from entering from the ground. If radon gas is present in large amounts then a full extraction and ventilation system might be needed underneath the screed which will extract any gases that could seep in from the ground.
The final phase of the surface preparation process is the painting or spraying of a sealer or primer. Primers help the bonding process and are special applications according to the type of screed that is being applied. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by experienced screeding companies in Colwyn Bay following the manufacturer's guidelines.
If you are installing under floor heating, now is the time that it will need to be laid out and installed. The heating pipes and wires are securely attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make certain they are laid in the correct position. Underfloor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a professionally installed system should provide even level of warmth in all areas of the floor.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared on site and poured onto the floor surface. The particular requirements of the room will dictate the sort of screeding used. Don't forget that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you are able to walk over any screeded surfaces and at least 3 days before any floor coverings can be laid. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for heavy duty and standard screeds must be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide a stable and long lasting floor surface.
You can test the SR level of the completed screed as soon as it is hardened enough to walk on. The test involves the use of a 2m straight edge laid on the surface and any deviations from true are measured.
- SR1 - Disparities of three millimetres or less as measured over the whole floor area shows your screeding to be of the best quality and categorised as SR1.
- SR2 - If the screeded surface has a deviation from the straight-edge of 5 millimetres or less it is classified as SR2 level and is the standard for industrial and commercial projects.
- SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a quality finish is not required. This level allows for a maximium deviation of ten millimetres.
If your screeding has been installed with specific load bearing requirements in mind then a qualified structural engineer is going to be needed to perform the tests. This assessment will determine the strength of the screeded surface and the suitability for its intended use. The screed should be subjected to a "drop hammer test" to assess flexibility and strength at different points. Only qualified structural engineers obeying the BS8204 regulations are permitted to carry out these testing and sign off on the structural safety of screed flooring.
