Floor Screeding North Baddesley

Floor Screeding North Baddesley Hampshire (SO52): If you have a damaged or uneven floor, are planning to install underfloor heating or are restoring a property or basement, then you'll be needing to find a professional floor screeding contractor to assist you. Before you are able to lay a suitable floor covering, whether it's tile, wood or carpet, the surface of the floor should be as flat as is possible; which is why floor screeding is needed. To ensure a high quality and durable finish to the whole floor surface, screed is a key element.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES NORTH BADDESLEY

Providing an excellent standard of service, a trustworthy floor screeding company in North Baddesley will have the essential equipment, know-how and expertise, regardless how large or small the area you require to be levelled. They will be ready to advise you about the correct sort of screed that your project requires, and the best methods for applying and installing it.

It may be necessary, depending on the proposed use of the room, for a structural engineering survey to conform to building regulations on point loadings, flex strength and load requirements of the screed floor.

Qualified and skilled trades-people are imperative for a successful result and will extend the life of your floor through the use of the right kind of screed for your room's allocated purpose. A correct mixture of screed and the techniques used in laying it are also critical to ensure the ultimate durability of your floor.

Ensure that you get more than one quotation for your North Baddesley floor screeding project and also ask to what standard you're getting a quote. For domestic homes a quotation will usually be given for a Surface Regularity (SR) calculation of SR1 or SR2. SR1 is the best level, and whilst SR2 and SR3 may seem more cost-effective at first glance, they don't guarantee a totally flat or even surface. This could mean that you might have to correct any patches that might cause issues when laying your final flooring solution.

The rules and regulations set out in in the British Standards BS8204 have to be observed by any North Baddesley floor screeding contractor and they must also be certified by the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol etc.) to confirm their competence and safe working practices. This accreditation program highlights a firm's ability and training in the usage of a manufacturer's product.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Frequently used in residential projects where the mix of cement and sand is good for regular footfall use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. After laying a standard screed dries out at a rate of 1mm/day.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If you have to progress urgently with the flooring due to time limitations, these screeds dry more speedily than standard flooring screeds. They are typically a fibre reinforced kind of screed which can dry at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are used in time dependent projects.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A latex and cement solution which can achieve the highest standard SR1 finish. Largely used to finish off a damaged floor or poor substrate level to enable the laying of a new flooring surface, such as vinyl planks on top of it. These can be as little as 1mm thick, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Used with underfloor heating and is the advised option in these projects. The special fibres in the screed improve overall strength and durability while also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. It dries at the same rate as a standard screed, at about one millimetre per day.

Polymer Screeds - These provide an extremely high level of strength with a lower thickness. Polymer screeds are made by many screed manufacturers and on account of their diverse chemical compositions have specific drying times for each product.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Preparation is crucial for a quality finished screed surface that will be durable and hard wearing. The existing floor surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any grease, debris, paint and oil which might affect the adhesion of the screed.

If cleaning products have been used it is important to remove any traces of soap, detergent etc, and leave the surface to dry naturally. At this point cracks need to be repaired as these can travel up through your newly laid screed and be visible in the finished floor surface. During an on-site survey your North Baddesley screeding specialist will establish what preparations are necessary before any actual screeding commences.

Before any screeding can be laid a damp proof membrane (DPM) must be installed to protect the final flooring and screed from dampness. The damp proof membrane is made out of thick polythene and various layers may be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screed.

If the area is susceptible to radon then a further barrier is needed to stop this harmful gas from entering via the ground. This could be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in severe situations an extraction and ventilation system will be installed underneath the floor screed to take away any influx of air and gas from the ground.

As soon as these steps have been taken the screeding company will put on a primer or sealer to the prepared base surface. These sealers and primers will ensure that the screed bonds properly to the base surface and help to accomplish a top quality finished floor. Because of their specialist nature, only certified screeders in North Baddesley are capable of using them correctly, safely and using bespoke equipment for the task.

Underfloor heating can now be laid out, installed and checked before screeding is applied. The heating pipes and wires are firmly mounted on insulation panels to stop any movement and make sure they are laid in the correct position. Warmth is spread evenly across a floor area in a skillfully fitted under floor heating system, and coupled with it being an effective method of heating, it's a good choice for many North Baddesley renovation projects.

If you are not fitting underfloor heating the screed can now be prepared on site and laid. Your screeding contractor will give you advice on which type of screed is appropriate for your requirements, according to your proposed use of the room area. After the pouring of the screed there is a minimum twenty four hours (for quick drying screeds) before you're able to walk over the surface, and a 72 hours minimum drying time before the laying of any floor coverings. Such time periods will be longer for heavy duty and standard screeds and the manufacture's instructions should be followed to the letter to create the optimal finish and durability of the floor.

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

• SR1 - Disparities of three millimetres or less as measured across the whole floor area shows your screeding to be of the highest quality and is classed as SR1.

• SR2 - The standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of five millimetres across the whole screeded floor.

• SR3 - If the deviation is 10mm or less the screeding quality is classified as SR3 and is the standard required for utility and garage areas.

If you require load bearing checks, a structural engineer is necessary to carry out the tests. The assessment will make sure that your newly laid screeded surface is suitable for the load point requirements laid out in the site survey. The screeding should be subjected to a drop hammer test to measure strength and flexibility at various points. Any screed floor that has load bearing requirements must be approved by a competent structural engineer heeding the BS8204 guidelines.
