Floor Screeding Irchester

Floor Screeding Irchester Northamptonshire (NN29): If you are restoring a property or basement, are aiming to install underfloor heating or have a damaged or uneven floor, then you'll be needing to find a specialist floor screeding service to help you. Floor screeding delivers a smooth finish to a rough sub-base, and will allow you to lay your final layer of flooring material, (carpets, boards, tiles etc) over it. To ensure a durable and quality finish to the entire floor surface, screed is a key component.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES IRCHESTER

Whatever size room you're renovating, a decent floor screeding company in Irchester will supply the expertise and proper working methods to establish a perfect base for your floor. They will assess your project and ascertain the correct kind of screed you require and how best to apply it.

They will likewise assess if a structural engineer is necessary to ensure any load bearing, point loadings and flex strength are followed as set out in the building regulations.

Bringing in a skilled and highly trained contractor will guarantee that you get the correct type of screed for the room's proposed purpose and get the maximum lifespan out of the resulting flooring. The correct mix of screed and the methods used for laying it are also critical to guarantee the ultimate quality of your floor surface.

There are many screeding contractors in and around Irchester so make sure you get multiple quotations for your floor screeding project before picking out a contractor and know to what standard of finish is it for. The Surface Regularity (SR) finish is the figure to keep your eye on when studying a quotation from Irchester screeding contractors. SR2 and SR3 could be less expensive options, however the finished floor surface might have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. An SR2 or SR3 level might mean there are flat spots or ridges that could cause problems when putting down your final flooring surface (carpet, tile, wood etc).

British Standards BS8204 lays down the regulations and guidelines that all Irchester screeding contractors must follow, and if working with specialist screeding solutions, (Cemfloor, Gypsol, Flowcrete etc), they ought to be accredited by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. A company holding accreditation proves that they have been trained and assessed in using these products and can deliver a high quality standard in all areas of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Frequently used in domestic projects where the blend of cement and sand is perfectly acceptable for normal footfall use. Five parts sand to one part cement is the normal mixture for standard screed. The standard screed dries at a rate of one millimetre thickness each day.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength solution where a reduced screed thickness is necessary. The setting times vary as outlined by proprietary product guidelines.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option where underfloor heating is being installed in residential properties in Irchester. The improved strength and flexibility provided by the fibres in the screed mix help protect the flooring from thermal shrinkage and cracking. At around 1mm per day, it has the same curing rate to standard screed.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - Used to produce a high quality finish, especially in SR1 levels of screeding, by a latex and cement solution. Mainly used to improve a damaged floor or poor substrate level to enable the laying of a new flooring surface, like tiling on top of it. The liquid screed can be laid to a thickness of only one millimetre, but still provides a high strength base to take a selection of flooring materials.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you need to progress urgently with the work on account of time constraints, this screed dries much faster than standard screeds. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm/day, determined by the mixture, they are generally a fibre reinforced type of screed and are perfect for flooring projects which have tight schedules.

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

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will have to fully prepare the area prior to any other work so as to ensure a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The original floor surfaces should be cleaned to eliminate any grease, paint, debris and oil that might adversely affect the bond of the screed.

Any cleansing products that are used during this phase should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be permitted to dry by itself naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor then all cracks should be repaired to prevent them from "travelling" up through a screed layer and producing imperfections on the final floor surface. During a site survey your Irchester screeding contractor will notice what preparations are required before starting to work on screeding the floor.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be put down once the preparation work has been done to stop ground dampness affecting the screed and floor materials. The DPM is made out of thick polythene sheet and various layers might be used to act as a moisture barrier for the screed.

If the area is susceptible to radon gas then another barrier is needed to prevent this harmful gas from entering from the ground. This could be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in more serious instances a ventilation and extraction system will need to be installed beneath the screed to draw out any influx of radon gas from ground level.

Once these steps have been taken the screeders will put on a primer or sealant to the prepared base. These primers and sealers will ensure that the screed bonds successfully to the base and help create a good quality finished floor. These products need skilled technicians to apply them in the appropriate ratios by using bespoke equipment, such as airless sprays.

Before the screeding can be poured, any under floor heating will now set out and installed. Insulation panels will be positioned and the wires and heating pipes will be firmly mounted so that there is no movement while the screed is being applied. Warmth will be spread evenly across the floor in a professionally installed under floor heating system, and along with it being an efficient choice of heating, it is a great choice for many Irchester renovation projects.

The screeding can now be prepared on site and spread onto the base. The specific requirements of the room will dictate the form of screeding that's used. After the pouring of the screed there's a minimum twenty four hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you can walk on the surface, and a 72 hour minimum drying time before any floor material installations. If you are laying standard or heavy duty screeds the curing time is increased and you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines in order to get the best possible finish to your floor.

Once the screed has set it can be quality checked to verify the SR level. Through the use of a two metre straight-edge the surface is examined for any ridges, deviations and dips in the surface of the screed.

• SR1 - Deviations of 3 millimetres or less being measured across the whole area shows your screed floor to be of the finest quality and is categorised as SR1.

• SR2 - SR2 is for normal standard floors in industrial and commercial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as five millimetres.

• SR3 - If the deviation is 10mm or less the quality of the screeding is categorised as SR3 and is highly suitable for garage and utility areas.

If your screeding has been installed with specific load bearing requirements in mind then a qualified structural engineer will be required to carry out the tests. This assessment will determine the overall strength of the screed surface and the viability for its proposed use. This can include what's known as a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the flexibility and strength of the screed. Any screed flooring that has load bearing requirements must be approved by a competent structural engineer respecting the BS8204 regulations.
