FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES LLANDUDNO

It doesn't matter how big or small the room is that you need to be levelled, a competent screeding contractor in Llandudno will have the necessary expertise, equipment and knowledge to give you an excellent level of service. They'll be ready to advise you on the correct kind of screed your project requires, and the best methods for applying and installing it.

The screeding company will also inform you if a structural engineer is required for your undertaking, to identify flex strength, load bearing and point loadings that your screed floor might need to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

The skills and training that a qualified screeding technician brings to your project will guarantee a successful outcome and help to extend the lifespan of your floor. There are numerous types of screed and choosing the appropriate mix and laying approach is critical to achieve a high quality floor which is hard-wearing and fit for purpose.

Before deciding on a screeding specialist from those based in the Llandudno area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their quotation, and also ensure that you get two or three estimates. For residential properties a quotation will usually be provided for a Surface Regularity (SR) level of SR1 or SR2. Each of the three SR levels provide different levels 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 might cause problems when laying your final flooring surface (tile, carpet, wood etc).

Every Llandudno screeding company has to follow British Standards (BS8204) and ought to have some form of accreditation from screeding material and equipment manufacturers, e.g. Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol. A company holding accreditation shows they've been trained and assessed in the use of these screeding products and can offer a high standard of service in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is ideal for basic residential use and comprises a blend of sand and cement. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. Once its been laid this 5:1 ratio dries at a rate of 1mm per day.

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a lower thickness. Maker's guidelines for setting times differ across the product ranges.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option where underfloor heating is being installed in residential homes in Llandudno. The improved strength and flexibility provided by the special fibres within the screed mix help protect the floor from shrinkage and cracking due to heat. The screed will set hard at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - Used to provide the highest quality of finish, especially where SR1 levels are essential, by a cement and latex compound. The self-levelling compound provides a smooth and clean surface over a damaged floor or rough substrate to allow all forms of flooring materials to be laid. Even with a thickness of just one millimetre, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide range of uses.

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

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If there's a need to use the floor as quickly as possible a fast drying screed can be employed. Most of the fast or advanced drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are perfect for a wide variety of projects where the speedier curing rate of 3-7mm is a welcome advantage.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will have to fully prepare all areas prior to any other work in order to ensure a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The existing floor surface should be cleaned to remove any paint, grease, oil and debris which might affect the adhesion of the screed.

Any cleaning products used during this process should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry by itself naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be repaired to stop them from "travelling" through a screed layer and resulting in imperfections on the final floor surface. During an on-site survey the screeding installer will ascertain what preparation work is required before any actual screeding begins.

To shield the screed layer and flooring materials from moisture rising up through the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be laid. Different gauges of polythene sheets could be used as a DPM and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.

Another airtight barrier might be required if your house is in a location that's regarded as prone to radon gas. This could be as simple as an air-tight membrane, or in more serious situations an extraction and ventilation system is installed under the screeding to take away any inflow of air and gas from the ground.

The final phase of the surface preparation process is the spraying or painting of a sealer or primer. These primers and sealers will make certain that the screed bonds properly to the base surface and help to produce a high quality finished floor. These products need certified contractors to apply them in the appropriate ratios by using custom-made equipment, such as airless sprays.

Now is the time that under floor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. The wires and heating pipes are securely attached to insulation panels to stop any movement and ensure they are laid in the correct position. Warmth will be evenly spread across a floor area in a skillfully installed under floor heating system, and coupled with it being an efficient choice of heating, it is an excellent choice for most Llandudno home restoration projects.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared on site and poured onto the floor base. Your screeding contractor will give you advice on which type of screed is appropriate for your needs, according to your intended use of the room area. After the pouring of the screed there is a minimum 24 hours (for quick drying screeds) before you can walk on the surface, and a seventy two hour minimum setting period before the laying of any floor coverings. If you're aiming to end up with a properly finished and durable floor surface you must stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to heavy duty and standard screeds where this waiting period will be longer.

You can assess the SR standard of the finished screed as soon as it's solidified enough for walking on. The test involves the use of a 2 metre long straight-edge laid down upon the surface and any deviations from true are calculated.

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

• SR2 - SR2 is for normal standard industrial and commercial floors and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as 5 millimetres.

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

If you need to check the screeded floor for load bearing, a structural engineer is necessary to perform the tests. This assessment will determine the overall strength of the screed surface and the viability for its proposed use. This should include a drop hammer test which records specific data on the flexibility and strength of the screed. The specialist measurement and testing tools mean that this can only be undertaken by a qualified structural engineer heeding the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.
