FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS WINGERWORTH

A dependable floor screeding specialist in Wingerworth will have knowledge and experience to help you achieve a perfectly finished floor in whatever size room you are renovating. They'll assess your project and verify the correct type of screed you require and how best to apply it.

It might be necessary, depending on the proposed use of the area in question, for a survey by a structural engineer to conform to building regulations on point loadings, load bearing and flex strength of the screed floor.

The skills and training that a certified screeding specialist brings to your project will guarantee a high quality result and help in extending the life of your floor. There are many kinds of floor screed and picking the right mix and laying approach is crucial if you are to create a quality floor that is fit for purpose and hard-wearing.

Before selecting a floor screeding contractor from the many based in the Wingerworth area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their price quote, and also ensure you get two or three quotations. For domestic homes a quotation will normally be provided for an SR (Surface Regularity) calculation of SR1 or SR2. Each of the 3 SR levels provide different standards of finish, with SR1 being the highest quality, with the least amount of deviation over the area. An SR2 or SR3 standard might mean there will be ridges or flat spots that may cause problems when putting down your final flooring materials.

Every Wingerworth screeding company has to stick to British Standards (BS8204) and ought to have some form of accreditation from the manufacturers of specialised screeding equipment and materials, e.g. Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol. This accreditation program showcases a company's high quality performance and training in the application of a manufacturer's screeding products.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in domestic projects where the mixture of cement and sand is acceptable for normal footfall use. This mix uses a five to one ratio of sand to cement. After laying a standard flooring screed sets at a rate of just 1mm/day.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is necessary this blend of cement and latex is used to create SR1 level screeding. Typically used to finalise a damaged floor or poor substrate level so as to lay a new flooring surface, like tiles on the top of it. Even with a depth of only 1mm, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide range of uses.

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Manufacturer's guidelines for setting times are different across the product ranges.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries rapidly and allows you to use the floor area much sooner. They are typically a fibre reinforced screed that dries out at a rate of between three and seven millimetres per day and are employed in time-sensitive flooring projects.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option for professional installers where under floor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Wingerworth. This is because of the increased durability and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking provided by the special fibres within the screed. At roughly 1mm per day, it has an identical drying rate to standard floor screed.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Developed for maximum strength and durability in areas where traffic is expected to be high or heavy loading on the floor is required.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Good preparation is vital for a top quality screed surface that will be hard wearing and durable. It is vital that all contaminants such as paint, oil, debris or grease is eradicated from the base before laying any screed, since these can affect the bonding capability that a good quality floor screed needs.

If cleaning products were used it's essential to remove any residues of soap or detergent, and leave the floor surface to dry naturally. At this stage any cracks should be mended since these can travel up through a newly laid screed and be visible in the finished surface. An experienced Wingerworth screeding contractor will address such aspects during a on-site survey and ensure all preparations are finished before moving on to the next steps in the screeding process.

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

If your house is located in an area where radon gas is found an extra barrier layer is needed to prevent radon gas from entering. A simple air-tight membrane could be enough in places with relatively low emissions of radon, but in more severe cases there might have to be a more complex extraction and ventilation system to remove any ground penetrating radon gases.

As soon as the floor base has been prepared and any membranes installed, a primer or sealer is then applied. Primers assist with the bonding process and are special applications matched to the sort of screed being applied. These products need experienced tradesmen to apply them in the appropriate ratios by using custom-made equipment, such as airless sprays.

If you are going to be installing under floor heating, this is the time that it will need to be properly laid out and installed. Insulation panels can be positioned and the wires and heating pipes will be securely mounted to prevent any movement whilst the screed is being poured. Under floor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and an expertly installed system will produce even warmth in all areas of the floor.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and spread onto the floor base. The specific requirements of the room will determine the sort of screeding that's used. Don't forget that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you can walk on any screeded surfaces and a minimum three days before any flooring materials can be laid. If you are hoping to wind up with a well finished and durable floor surface you must stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regard to standard and heavy duty screeds where this time period will be longer.

The SR standard of your screed can be verified once it's solidified sufficiently to be walked on. The test involves the use of a 2m straight edge laid on the surface and any deviations from true are measured.

• SR1 - Over the whole area, if there are no deviations greater than 3mm from the straight-edge, then you've got a top quality SR1 level surface.

• SR2 - If the floor surface deviates from the straight edge by 5 millimetres or less it is SR2 quality and is the standard for industrial and commercial floors.

• SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a perfect quality finish is not required. This specification allows for a maximium deviation depth of 10 millimetres.

There may also be a requirement for a qualified structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. This assessment will establish the strength of the screed and its suitability for the proposed use. A "drop hammer test" will be carried out on different areas of the screed and the outcomes documented. Any screed floor that has load bearing requirements must be sanctioned by a competent structural engineer applying the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.
