FLOOR SCREEDING CONTRACTORS FULWOOD

A reliable screeding company in Fulwood will have experience and know-how to help you achieve a perfect floor in whatever size room you're working on. After a diligent evaluation of your project, they will be able to advise you on which method of laying is best suited to your circumstances, and which is the ideal sort of screed.

They'll likewise assess if a structural engineer is necessary to make sure that any point loadings, load requirements and flex strength are followed as laid down in construction and building regulations.

The skills and training that a certified screeding technician brings to your project should guarantee a high quality end result and help in prolonging the lifetime of your flooring. The correct mix of screed and the methods used for laying it are also crucial to ensure the final intergrity of your floor surface.

Make sure that you get 2 or 3 estimates for your Fulwood based floor screeding project and also ask what standard of finish each quotation is for. The SR (Surface Regularity) finish is the figure to look for when reviewing a quotation from your Fulwood screeding contractor. SR1 is the best standard, and whilst SR2 and SR3 might seem more cost-effective at first glance, they do not guarantee a perfectly even or flat floor surface. This means that you might have to rectify any patches that may cause issues when laying your finished flooring solution.

British Standards BS8204 lays down the regulations and guidelines that all Fulwood screeding installers is obliged to follow, and if using specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor etc), they must be approved by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. A contractor holding such accreditation shows they've been trained and assessed in using these screeding products and can deliver a high standard of service in all areas of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A mixture of cement and sand which is ideal for everyday domestic usage. Five parts sand to one part cement is the normal mixture for standard screed. Once it has been laid this 5:1 ratio will dry at a rate of one millimetre per day.

Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is necessary because of construction requirements, a polymer screed offers a high strength resolution to the problem. Polymer screeds are made by a number of manufacturers and on account of their different chemical compositions have specific curing times for each product.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries quickly and allows you to use the floor area much sooner. Most of the fast or advanced drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are perfect for a whole host of projects where the faster curing rate of 3-7mm/day is a considerable advantage.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - A screed designed for heavy traffic and high load areas where the maximum possible durability and strength is very important.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The professional's choice for domestic use over the top of underfloor heating. The special fibres in this screed enhance overall durability and strength while also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. It has a drying rate of 1mm per day.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A latex and cement material which can achieve the highest standard SR1 finish. The self-levelling compound provides a clean and smooth surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to enable all flooring materials to be laid. The liquid screed can be laid to a thickness of just one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength surface for a varied selection of flooring finishes.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a high quality finish that's durable and hard wearing, time must be devoted to fully preparing the area prior to any screed being poured. It is vital that all contaminants such as oil, paint, grease or loose debris is eradicated from the floor before pouring any screed, since these can affect the adhesion capability that a good quality screed demands.

If any products were used in this process it's vital to make certain that no residues of detergents or soaps are left on the floor surface and it is allowed to dry out naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor all cracks should be mended to prevent them from "travelling" through a screed layer and resulting in deviations on the finished floor surface. During a site survey your Fulwood screeding contractor will be able to see what preparations are required before any actual screeding work begins.

To shield the screeding layer and flooring materials from moisture rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be installed. The damp proof membrane is made out of thick polythene and various layers may be used to act as a moisture barrier for the screeding.

If your property is located in an area where radon is present a supplementary barrier layer is essential to stop radon gas from entering. This can be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in severe cases an extraction and ventilation system is installed under the floor screed to extract any influx of radon gas from ground level.

Once these steps have been taken the screeders will apply a primer or sealer to the prepared base surface. Sealers and primers assist with the bonding process and are specialist applications specifically designed for the kind of screed that's being used. Devices such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by qualified screeding contractors in Fulwood observing the manufacturer's guidelines.

Before any screed can be poured, any underfloor heating will now be installed. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and attached firmly to insulation panels to avoid potential movement in the course of the screed pouring process. Warmth will be evenly spread across a floor area in an expertly installed under floor heating system, and in conjunction with it being an efficient method of heating, it is an ideal choice for many Fulwood home restoration projects.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared in situ and applied to the base surface. Your screeding specialist will give you advice on which sort of screed is appropriate for your needs, in line with your proposed use of the room. For quick drying screeds there will be at least a 24 hour delay before it is able to be walked on, and a further 72 hours minimum before any flooring material can be fitted. Such periods will be longer for standard and heavy duty screeds and the manufacture's product guidelines should be followed to achieve the best finish and longevity of the floor.

As soon as the screeding has hardened it can be quality checked to verify its SR standard. Through the use of a two metre straight-edge the surface is checked for any deviations, dips and ridges in the screed surface.

• SR1 - Over the entire screed area, if there are no disparities of more than 3mm from the straight-edge, you've got a top level SR1 standard surface.

• SR2 - The normal standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of five millimetres across the entire screeded surface.

• SR3 - If the deviation is ten millimetres or less the screeding quality is categorised as SR3 and is suitable for utility and garage areas.

There may also be a requirement for a qualified structural engineer to do a soundness test. The testing will make sure that your newly laid screeding is suitable for the load point requirements laid out in the original site survey. This can include a "drop hammer test" which records specific data on the strength and flexibility of the screed. Only certified structural engineers respecting the British Standards BS8204 guidelines are allowed to perform such tests and sign off on the structural safety of the screeding.
