Floor Screeding Tiptree Essex (CO5): If you have a damaged or uneven floor, are renovating a property or basement or are hoping to install under floor heating in your Tiptree property, then it is a good time to think about contacting a professional floor screeder. Before it's possible to lay a final floor covering, whether it is carpet, wood or tile, the floor surface needs to be as flat as is possible; this is why floor screeding is needed. The screeding is a crucial procedure to guarantee a high quality and durable finish to the entire floor structure.

Your screeding specialist will also notify you if a structural engineer is required for your project, to check on point loadings, flex strength and load requirements that your screed floor might need to conform with British Standards and building regulations.

Bringing in a qualified and highly trained flooring specialist will guarantee you get the proper sort of screed for the room's anticipated usage to extend the lifetime of your flooring. The correct blend of screed and the way it is laid is also critical to ensure the ultimate quality of your floor.

There are several screeding specialists in the Tiptree area so try to get multiple quotes for your project before picking a company and know to what standard of finish it's for. For domestic homes an estimate will generally be given for a Surface Regularity (SR) standard of SR1 or SR2. SR1 is the best level, and while SR2 and SR3 may be less expensive at first glance, they do not guarantee a perfectly flat or even floor surface. An SR2 or SR3 standard could mean there are ridges or flat spots that could cause issues when putting down your final flooring materials.

The rules and regulations laid down in the British Standards BS8204 have to be observed by any Tiptree floor screeding contractor and they must also hold accreditation with the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor etc.) to substantiate their competence and safe working practices. A company holding such accreditation shows that they've been assessed and trained in using these screeding products and can deliver a high quality standard in all aspects of their installation.

For larger screeding projects in shopping centres, pubs, hospitals, factories, warehouses and schools, skilled Tiptree commercial screeders will be needed.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Widely used in domestic projects where the blend of sand and cement is okay for basic footfall use. This mix comprises a 5:1 ratio of sand to cement. Once it has been laid this 5:1 ratio dries at a rate of 1mm each day.

Polymer Screeds - These provide an extremely high level of strength with a reduced thickness. On account of their different chemical compositions, these screeds have varying drying times which you can verify by reading manufacturer's guidelines.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for domestic use on top of underfloor heating. The increased flexibility and strength offered by the special fibres in the screed help protect the flooring from thermal shrinkage and cracking. At roughly 1mm per day, it has a similar drying rate to standard screed.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When a high standard of finish is necessary this formula of latex and cement is used to create SR1 quality floor screeding. It's mainly needed to produce a clean, smooth floor over the top of a damaged or poor quality substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. These can be as little as 1mm thick, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide high strength.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If there is a need to move forward urgently with the flooring on account of time limitations, these screeds dry much faster than standard screeds. Most of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are ideal for a wide array of flooring projects where the quicker curing rate of three to seven millimetres is a big advantage.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will need to carefully prepare all areas prior to any other work in order to ensure a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. Any grease, paint, debris and oil on the original floor level can affect the adhesion of the screed, and must be eliminated.

If any cleaning products are used in this process it is important to ensure that no residues of soaps, detergents or other cleaning products are left on the surface and it is allowed to dry out naturally. At this stage any cracks should be repaired since these can easily travel up through the laid screed and be visible in the finished floor surface. A reliable Tiptree screeding company will address such problems during the site survey and make certain that all preparations are finished before moving on to the next stages of the screeding process.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be applied after the preparation work has been concluded to stop ground dampness affecting the screed and floor materials. The DPM is made of thick polythene sheeting and different layers could be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screed.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon gas then another barrier is needed to stop the gas from entering via the ground. If radon gas is present in large amounts then a complete ventilation system may be installed beneath the screed which will remove any gases that might seep in from ground level.

Once these steps have been taken the screeding company will put on a sealant or primer to the prepared base. A primer helps with the screed to bond successfully to the base and different types exist based on which type of screed is being applied. These substances need trained tradesmen to apply them in the correct ratios by using airless sprays and other tailor-made equipment.

If you are installing underfloor heating, this is the time that it will need to be set out and installed. The heating pipes and wires are firmly attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make sure they're positioned correctly. Warmth will be spread evenly across the floor in a properly fitted under floor heating system, and with it being an efficient choice of heating, it's an excellent choice for most Tiptree home renovation projects.

Obviously, if you're not putting in underfloor heating, you simply bypass this stage and get on with applying the screeding. Your proposed use of the room will help your screeding contractor on which form of floor screed is appropriate for your requirements. For advanced and quick drying screeds there'll be at least 24 hours delay before it is able to be walked on, and a further 3 days minimum before you can install any flooring materials. If you're hoping to wind up with a properly finished and hard-wearing floor surface you should stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regard to standard and heavy duty screeds where this timescale will be increased.

The SR standard of your screeding can be ascertained once it's hardened enough to be walked on. The standard SR test uses a 2 mtr long straight-edge to check for any deviations in the screeded surface.

  • SR1 - Over the entire screed area, if there are no deviations greater than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, then you have a top quality SR1 level surface.
  • SR2 - If the screeded surface deviates from the straight edge by 5mm or less it is considered SR2 level and is the standard for commercial and industrial floors.
  • SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a perfect quality finish isn't needed. This specification allows for a maximium deviation of 10mm.

If your screed has been laid with specific loading in mind then a structural engineer is going to be needed to carry out the tests. The assessment will make sure that your new screeded surface is suitable for the load point requirements set down in the site survey. The screed layer should be given a "drop hammer test" to measure strength and flexibility at different points. The precise testing and measurement tools involved mean that this can only be conducted by a trained structural engineer applying the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Screeding Tiptree

It is best to use a latex self-levelling screeding when a bit of flexibility is necessary in the surface of a floor. Latex floor screeds come in two parts - a bag and a bottle - with the bottle containing liquid latex and the bag containing a cement powder. The latex liquid solution replaces the water that would normally be used in a screed mix, and is quicker drying and much more flexible than standard screeds.

Before the laying of your chosen decorative surface, this latex product is used for levelling-out sub-floors. Providing a smooth and resilient surface which is ideal for the application of adhesives, this is is suitable for use on substrate of stone tiles, concrete, asphalt, sand/cement and wood. If your subfloor has any movement in it, this latex screed will provide a flexible, crack-free finish, on which your final floor coverings can be laid.

With "floating" screeds, for example when a screed is being laid on the top of a layer of either acoustic or thermal insulation, latex flooring screeds won't be appropriate. Floating screeds with a thickness of 50-65mm are often used over underfloor heating.
