The purpose of screeding is to create a seamless and level surface over a concrete sub-base, which can then be used as a solid foundation for your preferred flooring material.

By seeking the assistance of a floor screeding expert, you can be certain of achieving a faultless and durable floor surface that caters precisely to your particular requirements.

FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS KINGSCLERE

A reputable floor screeding company in Kingsclere will have experience and knowledge to help you achieve a perfect floor in whichever shape or size of room you're renovating. When your project has been carefully evaluated, they'll be able to advise you on the appropriate sort of screed your project needs, and how best to apply it.

The screeding contractor will also inform you if a structural engineer is necessary for your undertaking, to check on any load requirements, flex strength and point loadings that your flooring may need to conform with British Standards and building regulations.

The training and skills that a screeding specialist brings to your project will guarantee a high quality outcome and help in prolonging the life of your floor or floors. There are many kinds of screed and selecting the correct mix and laying approach is essential if you are to create a quality floor that's long-lasting and fit for purpose.

Make sure you get more than one quotation for your Kingsclere based floor screeding project and also ask to what standard you are getting a quote. For residential properties an estimate will generally be provided for a Surface Regularity (SR) level of SR1 or SR2. SR2 and SR3 could be less expensive options, although the finished floor surface could have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. An SR2 or SR3 standard might mean there will be ridges or flat spots that might cause issues when putting down your final flooring surface (wood, carpet, tile etc).

The rules and regulations specified in the British Standards BS8204 have to be observed by any Kingsclere floor screeding company and they should also be accredited by the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Cemfloor, Gypsol, Flowcrete etc.) to confirm their safe working practices and competence. This accreditation scheme demonstrates a company's ability and training in the usage of a manufacturer's merchandise.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Frequently used in residential flooring projects where the mixture of cement and sand is good for basic floor traffic use. The standard screed is a mix of five parts sand to one of cement. The standard screed will dry at a rate of one millimetre thickness per day.

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

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a minimal thickness. Polymer screeds are available from a number of screed manufacturers and on account of their diverse chemical compositions have specific curing times for each individual product.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there is a need to move forward urgently with the work on account of time limitations, this screed dries much quicker than standard screeds. Most of the fast or advanced drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are suitable for a whole host of projects where the swifter curing rate of three to seven millimetres is a considerable advantage.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for domestic use over the top of under floor heating. The fibres in the screed mix enhance it's strength and durability whilst also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. The screed will set hard at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A latex and cement material which can achieve the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. The self-levelling compound provides a smooth and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to enable all forms of flooring materials to be laid. These can be as little as 1mm in depth, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

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

Any cleaning products which are used in this stage shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry out naturally. At this stage cracks need to be repaired because these can travel up through your newly laid screed and be reflected in the completed surface. A competent Kingsclere screeding installer will take note of these problems during a on-site survey and make certain all preparations are complete before applying the next stages of the screeding process.

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

If the area where you live is at risk from radon gas then an additional barrier is required to prevent this harmful gas from entering from the ground. This could be just a simple airtight membrane, or in severe instances a ventilation and extraction system is installed under the floor screed to draw out any influx of radon gas from the ground.

As soon as the base has been prepared and any membranes installed, a sealant or primer is then put on. A primer helps with the screed bonding correctly to the base surface and different types exist based upon which kind of screed is being used. These substances need experienced contractors to apply them in the correct proportions by using tailor-made equipment, such as airless sprays.

If you are installing under floor heating, now is the time that it will need to be laid out and installed. Insulation panels will be put in place and the heating pipes and cables will be firmly attached to prevent any movement whilst the screed is poured. Warmth is spread evenly across a floor area in a professionally installed under floor heating system, and with it being an efficient method of heating, it's a good choice for the majority of Kingsclere renovation projects.

If you're not installing underfloor heating the screed will now be prepared on site and poured. Your use of the room will help the screeding contractor on what form of screed is ideal for your requirements. For advanced and quick drying screeds there will be at least a twenty four hour delay before it can be walked over, and a further 3 days minimum before you can lay any flooring materials. If you're hoping to end up with a well finished and hard-wearing floor surface you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to heavy duty and standard screeds where this timescale will be increased.

The SR level of your screeding can be confirmed once it has solidified sufficiently to be stepped onto. The standard SR test uses a 2 metre straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the floor surface.

• SR1 - SR1 is the highest level and allows just 3 millimetres of deviation from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - SR2 is the classification for standard industrial and commercial floors and can deviate from the straight-edge by up to 5 millimetres.

• SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a quality finish isn't needed. This specification allows for a maximium deviation of ten millimetres.

If you need to check the floor for load bearing, a qualified structural engineer is required to conduct the testing. This test will establish the strength of the screed surface and its suitability for the proposed use. A drop hammer test will be conducted at several areas on the screed layer and the results documented. The specialist testing and measurement tools mean this can only be performed by a trained structural engineer following the guidelines of the British Standards BS8204.

Granolithic Screeding

Granolithic screeding refers to a type of flooring that consists of a mixture of sand, aggregate and cement. It is applied in a relatively thin layer and then smoothed to provide a seamless, hard-wearing and durable surface. It is frequently used in commercial, industrial and public buildings where there is heavy foot or machinery traffic.

Granolithic screeding is commonly used in industrial and commercial buildings as well as in high-traffic areas in residential buildings. It is also commonly used in areas where abrasion and chemical resistance are necessary. The resulting surface is hard and smooth, which makes it easy to maintain and clean, and provides an ideal base for other flooring products.

The granolithic screeding process involves several steps, including preparing the concrete sub-base, blending of the screed mixture, laying of the mixture, and curing of the screed. Correct mixing, application and curing techniques are vital to guarantee the strength and durability of the finished surface. Furthermore, the screed should be allowed to fully cure before any flooring materials are laid on top of it.
