Floor Screeding Wellesbourne Warwickshire (CV35): If you are hoping to install under floor heating, are restoring a property or cellar or have an uneven or damaged floor in your Wellesbourne property, then it's a good time to think about bringing in a floor screeding professional. Floor screeding gives a smooth, level finish to a rough sub-base, and will allow you to lay a suitable flooring material, (boards, carpets, tiles etc) over it. Floor screeding can provide a high quality and durable floor surface for virtually any room.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES WELLESBOURNE

It matters not how small or large the room you require to be levelled, a decent screeding specialist in Wellesbourne will have the necessary skills, know-how and equipment to give you a superb standard of service. They will be ready to advise you on the correct sort of screed your project requires, and the best methods for applying and installing it.

A professional screeding specialist will also tell you if a structural engineer is necessary for your undertaking, to check on point loadings, load bearing and flex strength that your screed floor may require to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

A qualified and skilled work force is necessary for a successful result and will extend your floor's lifespan through the use of the correct sort of screed for the proposed purpose of your room. Choosing the right screeding materials and the best installation technique is crucial if you want to finish up with a quality and durable finish for your floor.

There are a number of screeding specialists in the Wellesbourne area so make sure you get multiple price quotes for your project before selecting a contractor and know to what standard of finish it's for. The price quote should be based on what's called the SR, or Surface Regularity figure. SR2 and SR3 could be more affordable options, but the floor screeding finish might have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect quality of finish. An SR2 or SR3 level might mean there will be flat spots or ridges that may cause issues when laying your final floor surface.

British Standards BS8204 lays down the regulations and guidelines that all Wellesbourne screeding installers must follow, and if applying specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc), they should be approved by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. A contractor holding accreditation demonstrates that they have been trained and assessed in the use of these products and can deliver a top notch service in all areas of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in residential projects where the mixture of sand and cement is good for standard floor traffic usage. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. Once it has been laid this 5:1 ratio will dry at a rate of 1mm per day.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option for professionals where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Wellesbourne. This is because of the improved durability and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking offered by the special fibres within the screed mix. It sets at an identical rate to a standard screed of one millimetre per day.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If you have to press ahead urgently with the work because of time constraints, this screed dries more speedily than standard screeds. They're generally a fibre reinforced type of screed which can dry out at a rate of between 3-7mm per day and are employed in time-sensitive projects.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - Used to produce the highest quality of finish, especially where SR1 levels are required, by a cement and latex compound. This self-levelling compound provides a clean and smooth surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to allow all flooring materials to be laid. Even with a depth of only 1mm, the latex polymers within the mixture provide a high strength screed for a wide variety of uses.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength solution where a reduced screed thickness is essential. Polymer screeds are available from many screed manufacturers and on account of their diverse chemical compositions have specific curing times for each individual product.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are high or heavy loading of the floor is required, heavy duty screeds offer maximum strength and durability.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain the screeding is of a high quality finish that's hard wearing and durable, time must be devoted to carefully preparing the area prior to any screed being poured. Any grease, paint, oil and debris on the existing floor level can adversely affect the bonding of the screed, and should be eradicated.

If any products are used during this stage it is crucial to make sure that no residues of soaps, detergents or other cleaning products are left on the floor surface and it's permitted to dry out naturally. At this stage any cracks should be mended because these can travel up through the laid screed and be reflected in the finished floor surface. A site survey will enable the screeding company to identify these preparation areas and finish them before starting to pour the screeding layer.

Before any screeding can be poured a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be installed to protect the screed and final flooring from moisture damage. There could be 2 or 3 layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as barriers between the insulation layer and screed.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon gas then one additional barrier is needed to prevent this harmful gas from entering from the ground. This could be just a simple air-tight membrane, or in severe instances a ventilation system is installed underneath the floor screed to draw out any inflow of air and gas from ground level.

Once the floor base has been properly prepared and any DPMs installed, a primer or sealant is then applied. A primer assists in the screed to bond to the base and different varieties exist depending on which screed type is being used. These products need qualified technicians to apply them in the appropriate ratios by using tailor-made equipment, such as airless sprays.

Before the screeding is poured, any under floor heating will now be installed. The cabling and heating pipes are securely attached to insulation panels to stop any movement and make sure that they are laid in the correct position. When expertly installed an under floor heating system is an efficient way to warm up a room and decent quality screeding retains its heat, creating an even level of warmth right across the floor surface.

Needless to say, if you aren't putting in underfloor heating, you can ignore this stage and apply the floor screed. The specific requirements of the room will dictate the form of screeding that's used. For quick drying screeds there'll be at least twenty four hours delay before it can be walked on, and a further 3 days minimum before any flooring material can be laid over it. Manufacturer's drying instructions for heavy duty and standard screeds must be observed in order to achieve a quality finish and end up with an even and stable surface.

The SR standard of your screeding can be checked once it's hardened sufficiently to be walked upon. The test involves the use of a two metre straight edge laid on the surface and any deviations from true are calculated.

• SR1 - SR1 is the best quality and allows only three millimetres of deviation from the straight-edge.

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

• SR3 - For utility floors where the finish is relatively immaterial the SR3 is the classification and should have a maximum deviation measurement of 10 millimetres or less.

If you need to check the screed floor for load bearing, a qualified structural engineer is required to conduct the testing. This test will ascertain the strength of the screed and the viability for its proposed use. This will include what's known as a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the flexibility and strength of the screed. Only qualified structural engineers heeding the British Standards BS8204 regulations are permitted to conduct such testing and sign off on the structural integrity of screed flooring.

Latex Floor Screeds Wellesbourne

It is advantageous to use a latex screeding when a degree of flexibility is required in the surface of a floor. Latex floor screeds typically comprise two parts - a cementitious powder and a liquid latex additive. The liquid latex additive replaces the water that is used in other types of screed, making it more flexible and quicker drying.

Before the installation of the final decorative covering, this latex compound is used for levelling subfloors. Providing a durable and smooth surface which is perfect for the application of adhesives, this screed is is suitable for use on substrate of concrete, wood, quarry tiles, sand/cement and asphalt. If your sub-floor has a bit of movement in it, this type of latex screed will still give you a flexible, crack-free finish, on which your chosen floor coverings can be laid.

When using a "floating" screed, i.e. when screeding is being laid over the top of underfloor heating, thicknesses of 50mm-65mm may be needed, and latex flooring screeds are not suitable for this purpose.
