Floor Screeding North Petherton Somerset (TA6): If you are restoring a property or basement, have a damaged or uneven floor or are hoping to install underfloor heating in your North Petherton home, then it's time to think about contacting a professional floor screeder. Floor screeding delivers a smooth, level finish to a basic sub-base, and enables you to lay your final layer of flooring material, (tiles, boards, carpets etc) over the top of it. If you want your floors to last then floor screeding is one of the most important factors in any building or renovation task.

FLOOR SCREEDING CONTRACTORS NORTH PETHERTON

Having all the experience and knowledge to help you achieve a perfectly finished floor in whichever shape or size of room you are working on, a reputable floor screeding firm in North Petherton is the ideal choice for your screeding project. They will assess your project and verify the appropriate kind of screed you require and the best strategy for applying it.

The screeding contractor will also tell you if a structural engineer is needed for your project, in order to identify flex strength, point loadings and load bearing that your screed floor may require to conform with current British Standards and building regulations.

The skills and training that a certified screeding contractor brings to your project will guarantee a high quality outcome and help in extending the life of your floors. Picking the correct screeding materials and the best installation technique is vital if you want to finish up with a durable and quality finish for your floor surface.

Before selecting a floor screeding contractor from those operating in the North Petherton area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their estimate, and also make sure you get two or three estimates. The estimate could be based on what's called the Surface Regularity, or SR number. SR2 and SR3 might be less expensive options, although the floor screeding finish could have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a perfect quality of finish. This means that you may need to correct any areas that could cause problems when putting down your final flooring solution.

The regulations laid down in the British Standards BS8204 must be followed by all North Petherton floor screeding companies and they should also be approved by the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc.) to confirm their safe working practices and competence. A company holding accreditations shows they have been trained and assessed in using these products and can provide a top notch service in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is good for normal domestic usage and comprises a blend of sand and cement. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. The standard flooring screed dries at a rate of one millimetre thickness each day.

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

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If there is a need to progress urgently with the work due to time constraints, these screeds dry much faster than standard flooring screeds. Drying out at a rate of three to seven millimetres, subject to the mixture, they're typically a fibre reinforced screed and are perfect for projects that have tight deadlines.

Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is necessary because of building factors, a polymer screed provides an extremely high strength solution to this situation. Manufacturer's guidelines for setting times are different across the product ranges.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is necessary this blend of latex and cement is used to produce SR1 level screeding. It is largely needed to provide a high quality floor over a damaged or poor quality substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. This liquid screed can be poured to a depth of only one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength base for a varied selection of flooring finishes.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The first choice where under floor heating is being installed in residential properties in North Petherton. The special fibres in the screed mix increase overall durability and strength whilst also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. It has a setting rate of one millimetre per day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to carefully prepare all areas before proceeding with any other work so as to ensure a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. Any oil, paint, debris and grease on the existing floor level can affect the adhesion of the screed, and must be removed.

If any cleaning products were used during this stage it is vital to make certain that no residues of detergents or soaps are left on the floor surface and it's allowed to dry out naturally. At this point cracks need to be repaired as these can easily travel up through your newly laid screed and be visible in the finished surface. During a site survey your North Petherton screeding installer will establish what preparations are required before starting to work on screeding the floor.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be installed after the preparation work has been done to prevent ground dampness affecting the flooring materials and screed. Different gauges of special polythene might be used as a damp proof membrane and also act as a buffer for the screed and any insulation material.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon gas then an additional barrier is essential to stop the gas from entering from the ground. A simple air-tight membrane might be sufficient in areas with low radon measurements, however in more extreme situations there may need to be a more sophisticated extraction system to remove any harmful radon.

Once these steps have been taken the screeders will put on a primer or sealer to the prepared floor base. These sealers and primers will ensure that the screed bonds properly to the floor base and help produce a good quality finished floor. On account of their specialist nature, only professional screeding contractors in North Petherton are capable of using them correctly, safely and using equipment that is made for this task.

If you are going to be installing underfloor heating, this is the time that it will need to be properly set out and installed. Insulation panels will be arranged and the wires and heating pipes will be firmly mounted so that there is no movement while the screed is being applied. Under floor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system will produce even level of warmth in all areas of the floor.

If you are not installing under floor heating the screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and poured. The particular requirements of the room will determine the type of screeding that is used. After the application of the screed there's at least twenty four hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you can walk over the surface, and a 72 hour minimum setting period for any floor covering installations. Manufacturer's drying instructions for standard and heavy duty screeds should be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide a stable and long lasting surface.

As soon as the screed has hardened it can be checked for quality to confirm its SR level. The basic SR test uses a two metre straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the screed surface.

• SR1 - Over the whole area, if there aren't any disparities of more than three millimetres from the straight-edge, then you have a top quality SR1 standard surface.

• SR2 - The standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of 5 millimetres across the whole floor surface.

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

If you need to check the floor for load bearing, a qualified structural engineer is necessary to perform the tests. This assessment will determine the overall strength of the screeded surface and its viability for the proposed use. This can include what is known as a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the flexibility and strength of the screed. Only experienced structural engineers respecting the British Standards BS8204 regulations are permitted to perform such testing and sign off on the structural safety of screed flooring.

Screed Reinforcement

Screed reinforcement is a technique for reinforcing concrete screeds to improve their durability and strength. To create a level surface, a base layer is coated with thin and flat layers of concrete called screeds. As flooring, they are frequently utilised in building projects, but they can also serve as a finishing layer for walls and ceilings.

The addition of reinforcement materials such as fibres, wire or steel mesh into the screed mixture during installation prevents cracking and increases strength. The reinforcement improves the surface's ability to resist abrasion, impact and thermal changes, while also ensuring that load and weight are evenly distributed.

By reducing the risk of shrinkage and cracking caused by humidity or temperature changes, reinforcement improves both the strength and durability of screeds. Variables such as thickness, load capacity and finish are taken into account when selecting screed reinforcement material for a project, which can vary depending on particular requirements. With the use of screed reinforcement, screeding professionals can make sure that their projects are built to withstand the test of time and provide a high-quality and functional surface for years to come.
