FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS FORDINGBRIDGE

It matters not how small or large the room is that you require to be levelled, a competent floor screeding company in Fordingbridge will have the appropriate skills, equipment and knowledge to provide you with a superb standard of service. They'll assess your project and determine the correct kind of screed you require and the best technique for applying it.

They'll in addition assess if a structural engineer is necessary to ensure any load bearing, point loadings and flex strength are satisfied as set out in building and construction regulations.

A qualified and skilled work force is essential to a successful outcome and will extend the lifespan of your floor by using the right sort of screed for the intended purpose of your room. Choosing the correct screeding materials and the method of installation is vital if you want a durable and quality finish for your floor.

Before selecting a floor screeding specialist from the many operating in the Fordingbridge area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their quotation, and also ensure you get multiple estimates. The quotation may be based on what is called the SR, or Surface Regularity figure. SR2 and SR3 may be less costly options, although the finished floor surface may have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a perfect quality of finish. This could mean that you might have to fix any areas that could cause issues when putting down your finished flooring solution.

Every Fordingbridge screeding company has to comply with British Standards (BS8204) and ought to have some form of accreditation from the manufacturers of specialised screeding materials and equipment, for instance Flowcrete, Cemfloor, Gypsol. A contractor holding such accreditation proves they've been trained and assessed in using these products and can deliver a high quality service in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A combination of sand and cement which is okay for standard residential usage. Five parts sand to one part cement is the normal mix for standard screed. This 5 to 1 ratio standard screed will set hard at a rate of one millimetre per day after application.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, these screeds dry rapidly and allow you to use the floor area much sooner. The vast majority of the fast or advanced drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are ideal for a wide range of projects where the speedier curing rate of 3-7mm/day is a considerable advantage.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option where underfloor heating is being installed in residential homes in Fordingbridge. This is due to the improved durability and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking provided by the fibres within the screed. The screed will set hard at a rate of 1mm/day.

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

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex mixture which can produce the highest standard SR1 finish. It's largely needed to produce a clean, smooth floor over the top of a poor quality or damaged substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. The liquid screed can be laid to a depth of just 1mm, but still provides a high strength surface to take a selection of flooring finishes.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Good preparation is vital for a high quality screed surface that will be durable and hard wearing. The existing floor surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris, grease, paint and oil that might adversely affect the bond of the screed.

Any cleaning products that are used during this process should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be permitted to dry by itself naturally. It is essential to fix any cracks or crevices in the surface to avoid them being visible and "travelling" upwards into your freshly screeded floor. During a site survey the screeding company will notice what preparations are needed before any actual screeding work commences.

Before any screeding can be laid a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be put down to shield the final flooring and screed from moisture damage. There might be 2 or 3 layers of different thicknesses of polythene to act as a barrier between the screed and the insulation layer.

If your home is located in an area where radon gas is present an additional barrier layer is necessary to prevent radon gas from seeping through. An air-tight membrane could be suitable in locations with relatively low emissions of radon, however in more serious situations there might need to be a more complicated extraction and ventilation system to block any harmful radon.

Once these stages have been completed the screeding company will put on a primer or sealant to the prepared base surface. These primers and sealers will make certain that the screed bonds properly to the floor base and help to create a quality finished floor. Because of their specialist nature, only qualified screeding contractors in Fordingbridge are capable of using them safely and correctly and using bespoke equipment for the task.

Underfloor heating can now be laid out, installed and checked before the screed is poured. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and mounted firmly on insulation panels to prevent any movement in the course of the screed pouring. Warmth is spread evenly across the floor in a skillfully installed under floor heating system, and along with it being an effective choice of heating, it is an ideal choice for many Fordingbridge home restoration projects.

Obviously, if you're not putting in under floor heating, you simply ignore this step and get on with applying the floor screed. Your screeding company will give you advice on which type of screed is suitable for your requirements, in line with your proposed use of the room. For quick drying and advanced screeds there'll be at least a 24 hour delay before it can be walked over, and a further Three days minimum before any flooring material can be fitted. Manufacturer's drying instructions for standard and heavy duty screeds should be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide a stable and even surface.

The SR standard of your screeding can be checked once it has solidified enough to be stepped onto. The basic SR test involves the use of a two metre long straight-edge to check for any fluctuations in the screeded surface.

• SR1 - Over the entire screed area, if there aren't any disparities of more than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, you've got a top quality SR1 standard surface.

• SR2 - The normal standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum deviation of five millimetres across the entire floor.

• SR3 - For a utility area or room where the finish is fairly inconsequential SR3 is the specification and should have a deviation measurement of 10 millimetres or less.

If you require load bearing checks, a structural engineer is necessary to carry out the tests. This assessment will establish the overall strength of the screeding and the viability for its intended use. The screeding could be subjected to what is known as a drop hammer test to gauge strength and flexibility in different areas. Any screed flooring that has load bearing requirements must be approved by a qualified structural engineer following the British Standards BS8204 regulations.

Latex Floor Screed Fordingbridge

When the make-up of your floor's surface means that a degree of flexibility is necessary, it may be an advantage to use a latex self-levelling screeding, rather than one with a rigid finish. Latex floor screed comes in 2 parts, a bottle and a bag, with the bag containing a cement powder, and a bottle that contains a liquid latex additive. The water that is normally used in a screed mix is replaced by the liquid latex, meaning that it's quicker drying and more flexible than other standard screeds.

Used in the levelling of subfloors, this latex compound creates a surface for the laying of the final floor finishes. This screeding is appropriate for sub-floors made from wood, asphalt, sand/cement, stone tiles or concrete, is ideal for the application of flooring adhesives and gives a durable, smooth surface. Even where there's movement in your sub-floor, this type of screed will give you a crack-free, flexible finish.

With a "floating" screed, for instance when a screed is being laid on top of a layer of thermal or acoustic insulation, latex screeds will not be suitable. Floating screeds with a thickness of 50 to 75 millimetres are frequently used on top of underfloor heating.
