Floor screeding will provide a high quality and durable finish for any room.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES FLEET

It doesn't matter how small or large the area is that you require to be levelled, a genuine screeding contractor in Fleet will have the appropriate skills, knowledge and equipment to provide you with an excellent standard of service. After assessing your project they'll advise you about the perfect choice of screed and which technique for applying it is most appropriate for your situation.

They will also assess if a structural engineer is required to make certain that any point loadings, flex strength and load requirements are met as outlined by the building regulations.

Skilled and qualified tradesmen are necessary for a successful outcome and will extend your floor's lifespan by using the correct sort of screed for your room's allocated purpose. A correct mix of screed and the methods used in laying it are also crucial to ensure the ultimate intergrity of your floor.

There are a number of screeding contractors in and around Fleet so try to get multiple quotations for your floor screeding project before picking a company and know to what standard of finish is it for. For domestic properties a quotation will generally be provided for an SR (Surface Regularity) calculation of SR1 or SR2. Each of the three SR levels provide different qualities of finish, with SR1 offering the highest quality, with the smallest amount of deviation over the area. An SR2 or SR3 standard might mean there are flat spots or ridges that could cause problems when laying your final floor surface.

All Fleet screeding installers must adhere to British Standards (BS8204) and should have accreditation from the manufacturers of screeding materials and equipment, for instance Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol. This accreditation program highlights a firm's high quality performance and training in the use of a manufacturer's products.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is ideal for basic domestic usage and is a blend of cement and sand. The ratios involved are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. This five to one ratio standard screed will dry out at a rate of just 1mm per day after application.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The professional's choice for residential use over the top of underfloor heating. The fibres in this screed mix increase it's strength and durability whilst also protecting against thermal shrinkage and cracking. It has a drying rate of one millimetre per day.

Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is necessary due to construction requirements, a polymer screed provides an extremely high strength resolution to the problem. Manufacturer's guidelines for curing times differ across the various product ranges.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries rapidly and allows you to use the floor area much sooner. Drying at a rate of three to seven millimetres, depending on the specialised mix, they are normally a fibre reinforced kind of screed and are great for projects which have tight deadlines.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is necessary this mixture of latex and cement is employed to produce SR1 quality screed flooring. This self-levelling compound provides a smooth and clean surface over a damaged floor or rough substrate to enable all flooring materials to be laid. The liquid screed can be laid to a depth of just one millimetre, but will still provide a strong surface for a wide variety of flooring materials.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Good preparation is vital for a quality finished screed surface that will be hard wearing and durable. Any debris, grease, paint and oil on the existing floor level can adversely affect the adhesion of the screed, and must be eliminated.

If any cleaning products were used in this process it is vital to ensure that no residues of detergents, soaps or other cleaning products are left on the floor surface and it's allowed to dry out naturally. It's vital to mend any cracks or crevices in the floor surface to avoid them being mirrored and "travelling" upwards into the newly screeded floor. A professional Fleet screeding contractor will pick up on these problems during the site survey and ensure all preparations are completed before applying the next stages of the screeding process.

To shield the screeding layer and flooring materials from dampness rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be installed. There may be two or three layers of different thickness polythene to act as barriers between the screed and the insulation layer.

If your house is situated in a place where radon gas is found an additional barrier layer is necessary to prevent radon gas from seeping through. This could be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in more serious cases an extraction and ventilation system is installed underneath the screeding to draw out any inflow of radon gas from ground level.

As soon as the base has been prepared and any membranes installed, a sealer or primer is then applied. Sealers and primers assist with the bonding process and are specialist applications according to the kind of screed that's being used. These substances require certified contractors to apply them in the right proportions by using airless sprays and other tailor-made equipment.

If you are installing under floor heating, this is the time that it will need to be properly set out and installed. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and secured firmly to insulation panels to avoid any movement in the course of the screed pouring. Warmth will be evenly spread across the floor in a professionally installed underfloor heating system, and with it being an efficient choice of heating, it is an excellent choice for most Fleet home restoration projects.

Naturally, if you're not installing underfloor heating, you can skip this stage and get on with applying the screed. Your screeding contractor will give you advice on which kind of screed is best for your requirements, in line with your intended use of the room. Don't forget that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you are able to walk on any screeded surface and at least seventy two hours before any flooring can be laid. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for heavy duty and standard screeds should be observed in order to achieve a quality finish and end up with an even and stable surface.

The SR level of your screed can be ascertained once it has solidified sufficiently to be walked on. Using a 2m straight-edge the surface is checked for any ridges, dips and deviations in the surface of the screed.

• SR1 - SR1 is the highest standard and permits only 3mm of disparity from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - If the screed has a deviation from the straight-edge of 5mm or less it is classified as SR2 quality and is the standard for industrial and commercial projects.

• SR3 - For other floors where the finish is relatively inconsequential SR3 is the standard and has a maximum deviation measurement of 10 millimetres or less.

It may also be necessary for a qualified structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. This test will establish the overall strength of the screeding and the viability for its proposed use. An assessment called the drop hammer test will be conducted at various areas on the screed and the outcomes recorded. The specialist testing and measurement tools mean that this can only be carried out by a competent structural engineer heeding the guidelines of the British Standards BS8204.

Latex Screeding Fleet

It may be an advantage to use a latex self-levelling screed when a level of flexibility is needed in a floor's surface. Latex floor screeds typically comprise two parts - a cement-based powder, and a liquid latex additive. The latex liquid additive replaces the water which is used in other types of screed, meaning it is more flexible and quicker drying.

Prior to the laying of your chosen decorative surface, this latex compound is used for levelling-out sub-floors. This screeding is suitable for use on substrate of concrete, sand/cement, wood, asphalt and quarry tiles, to give a smooth, resilient surface which is perfect for the application of adhesives. If your sub-floor has any movement in it, this type of screed will produce a crack-free, flexible finish, on which your chosen floor coverings can be laid.

Latex floor screeds are not a suitable choice where "floating" screeds are needed, for example when an unbonded screed is being laid on top of a layer of either acoustic or thermal insulation, such as could be the case when you're screeding on top of underfloor heating, and screed depths of 50 to 65 millimetres may be needed.
