Floor Screeding Tutshill

Floor Screeding Tutshill Gloucestershire (NP16): If you are renovating a property or basement, have a damaged or uneven floor or are hoping to install under floor heating, then getting in touch with a specialist floor screeding service in Tutshill is the best solution. Floor screeding provides a smooth finish to a basic sub-base floor, and enables you to lay a suitable flooring material, (tiles, carpets, boards etc) over it. A floor screed is a key aspect of many restoration and building projects in Tutshill.

FLOOR SCREEDING CONTRACTORS TUTSHILL

A reliable floor screeding company in Tutshill will have know-how and experience to help you achieve a perfect floor in whatever shape or size of room you're renovating. To determine the appropriate type of screed you need, and the most effective way to apply and install it, they'll do a painstaking evaluation of your project.

They will also assess if a structural engineer is necessary to make sure any point loadings, load bearing and flex strength are met in accordance with building and construction regulations.

The skills and training that a qualified screeding specialist brings to your project will guarantee a high quality outcome and help to extend the lifetime of your floor. There are numerous types of floor screed and selecting the correct mix and installation process is critical to achieve a high quality floor which is long-lasting and fit for purpose.

Make certain you get more than one estimate for your Tutshill based floor screeding project and also ask to what standard you are getting a quote. For residential properties a quotation will generally be given for a Surface Regularity (SR) calculation of SR1 or SR2. SR1 is the best level, and while SR2 and SR3 may be less costly at first glance, they do not guarantee a totally flat or even surface. Any errors in the final screeding may cause issues with laying flooring due to flat spots, ridges, indentations in the surface.

The rules and regulations laid down in the British Standards BS8204 must be observed by all Tutshill floor screeding contractors and they must also hold accreditation with the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor etc.) to prove their safe working practices and competence. The assessment and training of a floor screeding company by a manufacturer is highlighted by the use of this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in residential flooring projects where the mixture of sand and cement is good for normal footfall use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. This 5:1 ratio standard screed will dry out at a rate of one millimetre per day after applying.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Designed for maximum durability and strength in places where traffic is expected to be high or heavy loading on the floor base is necessary.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex material which can produce the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. This self-levelling compound provides a smooth and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to allow all sorts of flooring materials to be laid. These can be as little as one millimetre in depth, and because of the latex polymers, will still provide high strength.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Used mostly with under floor heating and is the advised choice in such projects. The special fibres in the screed increase overall durability and strength while also protecting against thermal shrinkage and cracking. The screed will set hard at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

Polymer Screeds - When a lower thickness of floor is required due to construction factors, a polymer screed offers a high strength resolution to this situation. Due to their different chemical compositions, these screeds have varying setting times which can be verified by checking manufacturer's own product guidelines.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to move forward urgently with the work owing to time limitations, this screed dries much faster than standard flooring screeds. They are generally a fibre reinforced screed that dries out at a rate of between 3-7mm per day and are employed in time dependent projects.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

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

If cleansing products have been used it's essential to remove any residues of soap or detergent, and allow the surface to dry naturally. It's essential to mend any cracks in the floor surface to stop them being visible and "travelling" up into your newly screeded floor. During a site survey the screeding installer will notice what preparation work is needed before starting to work on screeding the floor.

To protect the flooring materials and screeding layer from moisture rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be installed. The damp proof membrane is made out of thick polythene sheeting and different layers might be used to act as a moisture barrier for the screed.

If the area is at risk from radon then an additional barrier is necessary to prevent the gas from entering from the ground. This can be as simple as an air-tight membrane, or in more serious instances an extraction and ventilation system is installed underneath the screed to draw out any influx of radon gas from the ground.

As soon as these stages have been completed the screeders will put on a primer or sealant to the prepared base. Primers and sealers help with the bonding process and are special applications according to the type of screed being used. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a primer or sealant, which should be done by professional screeding companies in Tutshill following the manufacturer's guidelines.

If you are going to be installing under floor heating, this is the time that it will need to be set out and installed. The underfloor heating system will be carefully positioned and secured firmly to insulation panels to prevent potential movement in the course of the screed application. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system will deliver even warmth all over the floor.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and applied to the base. Your screeding specialist will have given you advice and guidance on which screed type is appropriate for your needs, according to your proposed use of the room. After the pouring of the screed there'll be a minimum twenty four hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you're able to walk on the surface, and a 72 hour minimum drying time before any floor material installation. If you are hoping to end up with a well finished and hard-wearing floor surface you should stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to standard and heavy duty screeds where the time period will be increased.

You can evaluate the SR standard of the finished screed as soon as it's solidified enough to walk on. Through the use of a 2 mtr straight-edge the floor surface is examined for any deviations, dips and ridges in the surface of the screed.

• SR1 - Disparities of three millimetres or less as measured across the entire floor area shows your screed to be of the best quality and categorised as SR1.

• SR2 - If the floor has a deviation from the straight-edge of 5 millimetres or less it is considered SR2 level and is the normal standard for industrial and commercial projects.

• SR3 - For utility floors where the quality of finish is comparatively inconsequential SR3 is the standard and should have a deviation measurement of 10mm or less.

It might also be necessary for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. This assessment will establish the overall strength of the screeding and the suitability for its intended use. A "drop hammer test" is carried out at several areas on the screed layer and the results recorded. The precise measurement and testing tools required mean this can only be undertaken by a trained structural engineer respecting the BS8204 guidelines.
