FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES LONG SUTTON

Whatever size room or area you are renovating, a local screeding firm in Long Sutton can provide you with the expertise and proper working methods to establish the perfect base for your floors. After a diligent evaluation of your flooring project, they'll be able to inform you about which method of laying is best suited to your circumstances, and what is the best screed.

The screeding specialist will also notify you if a structural engineer is necessary for your undertaking, in order to check on any load bearing, flex strength and point loadings that your flooring might require to conform with building regulations and British Standards.

A qualified and skilled work force is imperative for a successful outcome and will extend the life of your floor through the use of the right sort of screed for the intended purpose of your room. Selecting the right screeding materials and the best installation technique is critical if you want to finish up with a quality and durable finish for your floor surface.

There are a number of screeding specialists in the Long Sutton area so try to get multiple quotations for your screeding project before choosing a company and know to what standard of finish it's for. The quotation should be based on what is called the Surface Regularity, or SR figure. SR2 and SR3 may be less expensive options, however the finished floor surface might have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. Any imperfections in the screeding (as might occur with SR2 or SR3) can cause issues with laying flooring because of ridges, flat spots, indentations in the surface.

British Standards BS8204 lays down the guidelines and regulations that all Long Sutton screeding contractors must follow, and if applying specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc), they ought to be accredited by the manufacturers as being skilled and trained in their use. The testing and training of a screeding company by such manufacturers is underlined by the use of this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of safe working practices and reliability on any project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Frequently used in domestic flooring projects where the combination of sand and cement is ideal for regular floor traffic use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. This 5:1 ratio standard flooring screed will set hard at a rate of one millimetre per day after applying.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are high or heavy loading on the floor is necessary, heavy duty screeds allow for maximum strength and durability.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured option where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Long Sutton. This is due to the increased durability and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking provided by the fibres within the screed mix. It dries at the same rate as a standard screed of 1mm per day.

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a minimal thickness. Polymer screeds are available from many manufacturers and owing to their different chemical compositions have specific setting times for each product.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you have to move forward urgently with the work on account of time limitations, these screeds dry more speedily than standard flooring screeds. The vast majority of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are suitable for a wide array of projects where the speedier curing rate of 3-7mm is advantageous.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex material which can produce the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. It's largely needed to provide a smooth, clean floor over the top of a damaged or poor quality substrate and results in a finish onto which all types of flooring materials can be laid. Even with a depth of only 1mm, the latex polymers within the mixture provide a high strength screed for a wide variety of uses.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Preparation is essential for a quality finished screed surface that will be hard wearing and durable. Any grease, paint, debris and oil on the existing floor surface can affect the adhesion of the screed, and must be eradicated.

If cleansing products have been used it's essential to remove any residues of soap etc, and allow the floor surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor then all cracks should be mended to stop them from "travelling" through your screed layer and producing deviations on the finished floor surface. A genuine Long Sutton screeding contractor will take note of such aspects during the on-site survey and ensure that all preparations are finished before pressing on with the next stages of the screeding process.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be installed after the preparation work has been completed to prevent ground moisture affecting the screeding and floor materials. The damp proof membrane is made from thick polythene and various layers might be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screeding.

Another air-tight barrier might be needed if your building is in an area that is known to be susceptible to radon gas. An airtight membrane may be sufficient in locations with relatively low radon emissions, however in more severe cases there might need to be a more complex extraction system to remove any ground penetrating radon gas.

As soon as these steps have been taken the screeding company will put on a primer or sealant to the prepared base. Sealers and primers help the bonding process and are specialist applications matched to the sort of screed being used. Because of their special nature, only experienced screeders in Long Sutton should be entrusted with using them safely and correctly and using equipment that's made for the task.

This is the time that under floor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. The under floor 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. Under floor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a properly installed system will provide even level of warmth all over the floor.

If you are not fitting under floor heating the screed will now be prepared in situ and laid. The requirements of the room will determine the type of screeding used. After application of the screed there'll be a minimum 24 hours (for quick drying screeds) before you're able to walk upon the surface, and a 72 hrs minimum drying period for any floor covering installations. If you are laying heavy duty or standard screeds the setting time is longer and you should observe the manufacturer's guidelines so as to get the best finish to your floor.

The SR level of your screed can be verified once it has hardened enough to be stepped onto. The test involves using a 2 metre straight edge laid on the floor surface and any variations from true are calculated.

• SR1 - Disparities of three millimetres or less being measured over the whole area shows your screed floor to be of the highest quality and 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 5 millimetres.

• SR3 - If the deviation around the whole space is ten millimetres or less the screed quality is specified as SR3 and is suitable for utility and garage areas.

There might also be a requirement for a qualified structural engineer to perform a soundness test. Using specialist equipment the structural engineer will establish the screed surface strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. This will include what is known as a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. Any screed floor that has load bearing requirements must be sanctioned by a fully qualified structural engineer following the British Standards BS8204 regulations.
