FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS PINCHBECK

A dependable screeding contractor in Pinchbeck will have all the experience and knowledge to help you achieve a perfect floor in whichever size room you're working on. They will be able to assess your project and verify the correct sort of screed you require and how best to apply it.

The skills and training that a screeding specialist brings to your project will guarantee a successful result and help to prolong the lifespan of your floor or floors. Choosing the correct screeding materials and the best installation technique is critical if you want to finish up with a durable and quality finish for your floor.

Before deciding upon a floor screeding specialist from those operating in the Pinchbeck area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their quote, and also ensure that you get two or three estimates. The price quote could be based on what is known as the SR, or Surface Regularity calculation. Each of the three SR levels deliver different standards of finish, with SR1 offering the best, with the smallest amount of deviation over the area of the floor. Any imperfections in the screeding (as might arise with SR2 or SR3) may cause problems in laying flooring because of ridges, indentations, flat spots in the surface.

All Pinchbeck screeding contractors must adhere to British Standards (BS8204) and ought to have some form of accreditation from the manufacturers of screeding materials and equipment, for instance Cemfloor, Gypsol, Flowcrete. This accreditation program showcases a firm's training and high quality performance in the application of a manufacturer's product.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A mixture of sand and cement which is ideal for standard domestic usage. The standard screed is a mixture of five parts sand to one of cement. After laying a standard flooring screed mix sets at a rate of just 1mm/day.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, these screeds dry quickly and allow you to use the screeded area much faster. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm, determined by the specialised mix, they're generally a fibre reinforced type of screed and are suitable for projects which have tight schedules.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - Used to produce the highest quality of finish, especially in SR1 levels of screeding, by a cement and latex solution. It is primarily used to provide a clean, smooth floor over the top of a poor quality or damaged substrate and results in a finish onto which all kinds of flooring materials can be laid. The liquid screed can be poured to a depth of just 1mm, but will still provide a strong surface for a wide range of flooring finishes.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Made for maximum durability and strength on floors where traffic is expected to be high or specific loading of the floor is needed.

Polymer Screeds - Provides an extremely high level of strength with a reduced thickness. On account of their different chemical compositions, polymer screeds have varying drying times which you can verify by viewing manufacturer's own product guidelines.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for residential use on top of underfloor heating. The special fibres in this screed mix improve overall durability and strength while also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. The screed will dry out at a rate of 1mm/day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a good quality finish that is hard wearing and durable, time must be spent on carefully preparing the area before any screeding material is laid. It's crucial that any contaminants such as paint, grease, debris or oil is eradicated from the base before laying any screed, since these can affect the adhesion capability that a quality floor screed demands.

If any cleaning products were used during this stage it is vital to ensure that no residues of detergents, soaps or other cleaning products are left on the floor surface and it's permitted to dry out naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be repaired to prevent them from "travelling" up through the screed layer and resulting in deviations on the final floor surface. A site survey will allow your Pinchbeck screeding company to highlight this preparation work and complete it before starting to apply the screed layer.

To protect the flooring materials and screed layer from moisture rising up through the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) must be installed. There could be two or three layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as barriers between the screed and the insulation layer.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon then an additional barrier is necessary to stop this harmful gas from entering from the ground. This could be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in more serious cases a ventilation and extraction system will be installed underneath the screed to draw out any inflow of radon gas from ground level.

The final stage of the surface preparation process is the spraying or painting of a sealant or primer. A primer assists in the screed bonding process to the base surface and different varieties exist according to which type of screed is being applied. These products need experienced contractors to apply them in the correct proportions by using airless sprays and other tailor-made equipment.

If you're installing underfloor heating, now is the time that it will need to be laid out and installed. The cabling and heating pipes are securely mounted on insulation panels to prevent any movement and ensure they are positioned correctly. Warmth will be spread evenly across the floor in a skillfully fitted under floor heating system, and coupled with it being an efficient method of heating, it's an ideal choice for the majority of Pinchbeck renovation projects.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared on site and poured onto the base surface. Your use of the room will help the screeding company on what form of screed is right for your needs. For quick drying screeds there'll be at least a twenty four hour delay before it is able to be walked over, and a further Three days minimum before any flooring material can be fitted. Manufacturer's drying instructions for standard and heavy duty screeds should be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide an even and stable floor surface.

You can check the SR level of the completed screeding once it is hardened enough to walk on. The test involves the use of a 2 metre long straight-edge laid on the floor surface and any fluctuations from true are measured.

• SR1 - Over the whole floor area, if there aren't any disparities greater than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, then you have a top level SR1 standard surface.

• SR2 - The standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum deviation of 5 millimetres across the entire floor.

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

If your screed floor has been installed with particular loading in mind then a structural engineer is going to be needed to carry out these soundness tests. Using specialist equipment the structural engineer will assess the screeded surface strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing setting. A drop hammer test will be carried out on different areas of the screed and the outcomes recorded. Any screed flooring that's got point load requirements must be okayed by a competent structural engineer heeding the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Floor Screed Pinchbeck

When a degree of flexibility is required in a floor's surface you might find that the employment of a latex floor screed will be an advantage. Latex floor screeds come in 2 parts - a bottle and a bag - with a bottle that contains liquid latex, and a bag that contains a cement powder. Where water is normally used in a screed mix, this is replaced with the liquid latex, which makes it quicker drying and more flexible than other standard screeds.

This latex screed is used to level-out a subfloor before the final decorative surface is installed. Appropriate for sub-floors of asphalt, sand/cement, concrete, wood and stone tiles, this gives a perfect surface for the application of adhesives that's smooth and resilient. This type of floor screed will produce a crack-free, flexible finish, even if there is movement in your subfloor.

With "floating" screeds, for example when an unbonded screed is being laid on top of a layer of either thermal or acoustic insulation, latex screeds will not be a suitable choice. Floating screeds with a depth of 50 to 65 millimetres are often used on top of underfloor heating.
