A professional screeding contractor will also tell you if a structural engineer is necessary for your project, in order to check on any flex strength, point loadings and load requirements that your flooring may need to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

Working with a qualified and highly trained flooring specialist will ensure you get the proper sort of screed for the room's intended purpose to extend the life of your flooring. A correct mix of screed and the techniques used in laying it are also vital to ensure the final quality of your floor surface.

Ensure that you get more than one estimate for your Warminster based screeding project and also ask what standard of finish each quotation is for. The price quote may be based on what is called the Surface Regularity, or SR figure. SR1 is the highest level, and whilst SR2 and SR3 might seem cheaper initially, they don't guarantee a totally even or flat surface. This could mean that you may have to fix any areas that could cause issues when putting down your finished flooring solution.

The rules and regulations specified in the British Standards BS8204 have to be followed by any Warminster floor screeding contractor and they should also hold accreditation with the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Flowcrete, Cemfloor, Gypsol etc.) to confirm their competence and safe working practices. The assessment and training of a floor screeding company by such manufacturers is emphasised by the use of the accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any flooring project involving their materials.

Commercial screeders in Warminster will probably tackle larger screeding projects in hospitals, factories, shopping centres, schools, salons and warehouses.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for normal residential usage and is a mix of sand and cement. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. This 5 to 1 ratio standard flooring screed will set hard at a rate of just one millimetre per day after laying.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is needed this solution of latex and cement is used to produce SR1 level screed flooring. Typically used to finalise a damaged floor or poor substrate level to enable the laying of a brand new flooring surface, like vinyl planks over it. This liquid screed can be poured to a depth of only one millimetre, but still provides a high strength surface for a wide range of flooring materials.

Polymer Screeds - When a lower thickness of floor is necessary due to construction requirements, a polymer screed provides a high strength solution to the problem. Manufacturer's guidelines for curing times vary across the product ranges.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favourite choice of professional contractors for use with under floor heating systems. The greater strength and flexibility provided by the fibres within this screed help protect the floor from thermal cracking and shrinkage. At around 1mm per day, it has an identical drying rate to standard floor screed.

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

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, these screeds dry rapidly and allow you to use the floor area much faster. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm/day, depending on the mixture, they're usually a fibre reinforced kind of screed and are great for projects that have tight schedules.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain the screeding is of a high quality finish that is durable and hard wearing, time should be spent on fully preparing the area before any screed is laid. It's crucial that all contaminants such as grease, debris, paint or oil is eradicated from the base before pouring any screed, as these can affect the bonding process that a quality screed requires.

Any cleaning products which are used in this phase shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor base must be permitted to dry out naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be mended to stop them from "travelling" through your screed layer and producing deviations on the finished surface. A site survey will allow the screeding specialist to highlight this preparation work and complete it before starting to lay the screeding.

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

If your house is situated in an area where radon gas is present a supplementary barrier layer is essential to prevent radon gas from entering. This can be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in severe situations a ventilation and extraction system will need to be installed underneath the screeding to draw out any inflow of air and gas from ground level.

As soon as these steps have been taken the screeding company will put on a primer or sealant to the prepared floor base. Sealers and primers help the bonding process and are specialist applications according to the sort of screed that is being used. Owing to their specialist nature, only trained screeding specialists in Warminster should be entrusted with using them correctly, safely and using bespoke equipment for the task.

Before the screeding is poured, any underfloor heating will now be laid out. Insulation panels will be put in position and the cabling and heating pipes will be securely attached so there's no movement whilst the screed is poured. Warmth is spread evenly across the floor in a professionally installed under floor heating system, and along with it being an effective method of heating, it's an ideal choice for many Warminster home restoration projects.

The screed can now be prepared on site and spread onto the floor surface. Your intended use of the room will help the screeding company on which type of screed is ideal for your requirements. Don't forget that even advanced and quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you're able to walk on any laid surface and at least seventy two hours before any floor coverings can be applied. If you're aiming to end up with a well finished and long-lasting floor surface you should stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regard to standard and heavy duty screeds where the timescale will be longer.

Once the screeding has solidified it can be quality checked to determine the SR level. Using a 2 metre straight-edge the surface is examined for any dips, deviations and ridges in the surface of the screed.

  • SR1 - Over the whole screed area, if there aren't any deviations greater than three millimetres from the straight-edge, then you have a top quality SR1 level surface.
  • SR2 - If the screeded floor deviates from the straight edge by five millimetres or less it is SR2 quality and is the normal standard for commercial and industrial floors.
  • SR3 - For a utility area or room where the quality of finish is comparatively inconsequential SR3 is the specification and has a maximum deviation measurement of 10 millimetres or less.

If you require load bearing checks, a structural engineer is needed to conduct the tests. The assessment will make certain that your new screed surface is suitable for the load point requirements specified in the original site survey. The screeding should be subjected to a drop hammer test to determine strength and flexibility at various points. The specialist testing and measurement tools mean that this can only be undertaken by a competent structural engineer applying the guidelines of BS8204.
