It might be a requirement, according to the intended use of the room, for a structural engineering survey to conform to building regulations on flex strength, point loadings and load bearing of the screed floor.

The skills and training that a qualified screeding contractor brings to your project will guarantee a high quality result and help in extending the lifespan of your flooring. There are numerous kinds of floor screed and choosing the right mix and installation approach is critical to achieve a high quality floor that is both fit for purpose and long-lasting.

Before selecting a floor screeding specialist from those operating in the Woodley area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their quote, and also make certain that you get multiple estimates. The Surface Regularity (SR) finish is the figure to look for when getting an estimate from your Woodley screeding contractor. SR1 is the best level, and while SR2 and SR3 may be less costly initially, they don't guarantee a perfectly even or flat floor surface. This could mean that you may need to correct any patches that could cause issues when putting down your finished flooring material.

The rules and regulations specified in the British Standards BS8204 have to be observed by all Woodley floor screeding contractors and they must also be approved by the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor etc.) to demonstrate their competence and safe working practices. The testing and training of a floor screeding company by a manufacturer is highlighted through this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any screeding project which involves their materials.

For the screeding of floors in warehouses, hospitals, schools, factories, shops and salons, skilled commercial screeders in Woodley will be needed.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in domestic projects where the combination of cement and sand is perfectly acceptable for normal floor traffic usage. This mixture comprises a five to one ratio of sand to cement. After being laid a standard screed dries out at a rate of 1mm/day.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries quickly and allows you to use the floor area much sooner. Drying out at a rate of three to seven millimetres, subject to the mixture, they're normally a fibre reinforced screed and are suitable for projects which have tight schedules.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - Used to provide the highest quality of finish, especially in SR1 levels of screeding, by a latex and cement solution. Primarily used to finalise a poor substrate level or damaged floor to enable the laying of a brand new flooring surface, like tiling on the top of it. This liquid screed can be poured to a depth of just 1mm, but still provides a strong surface to take a wide range of flooring finishes.

Polymer Screeds - Provides a high level of strength with a minimal thickness. The drying times vary as outlined by product guidelines.

Screeding Quotes Woodley Berkshire

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Mostly used with under floor heating and is the recommended choice in such projects. The greater flexibility and strength provided by the special fibres in this screed mix help protect the floor from thermal shrinkage and cracking. The screed will set hard at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will have to prepare all areas before any other work in order to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The original floor surface should be thoroughly cleaned to eradicate any paint, oil, debris and grease which might adversely affect the adhesion of the screeding.

Any cleaning chemicals used in this stage shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor base must be permitted to dry by itself naturally. It is essential to fix any cracks in the base to prevent them being visible and "travelling" up into the freshly screeded floor. A site survey will enable the screeding installer to take note of these preparation areas and complete them before commencing to pour the screeding layer.

To protect the screeding layer and flooring materials from dampness rising up from the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) must be installed. Different thicknesses of specialised polythene might be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.

If the area where you live is at risk from radon then a further barrier is necessary to prevent this harmful gas from entering from the ground. If radon occurs in severe doses then a complete ventilation system may be installed under the screed which will remove any gases that could seep in from ground level.

As soon as these stages have been completed the screeders will apply a sealant or primer to the prepared base surface. These sealers and primers will guarantee the screed bonds successfully to the floor base and help to accomplish a top quality finished floor. Because of their special nature, only experienced screeders in Woodley are capable of using them safely and correctly and through the use of bespoke equipment for the task.

If required, this is the time that underfloor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. The under floor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and secured firmly to insulation panels to prevent potential movement in the course of the screed pouring. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a properly installed system should give an even warmth in all areas of the floor.

Naturally, if you are not putting in underfloor heating, you can bypass this stage and get on with applying the screeding. Your proposed use of the room will help the screeding company on what kind of floor screed is ideal for your needs. After application of the screed there'll be at least twenty four hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you can walk upon the surface, and a seventy two hours minimum setting period for the laying of any flooring materials. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for heavy duty and standard screeds must be followed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide an even and stable surface.

As soon as the screed has solidified it can be checked for quality to ascertain the SR standard. The standard SR test uses a 2m long straight-edge to check for any variations in the screeded surface.

  • SR1 - SR1 is the best standard and allows only 3 millimetres of deviation from the straight-edge.
  • SR2 - SR2 is for normal standard floors in commercial and industrial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by up to five millimetres.
  • SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a perfect finish isn't required. This classification allows for a maximium deviation depth of 10 millimetres.

If your screed floor has been installed with specific loading in mind then a qualified structural engineer will be necessary to carry out the tests. The assessment will make certain that your new screeding is viable for the load bearing requirements set down in the original site survey. An assessment called the "drop hammer test" is performed on several areas of the screed and the results noted. The precise testing and measurement tools mean this can only be conducted by a qualified structural engineer heeding the guidelines of the British Standards BS8204.

Woodley Skip Hire

Skip Hire Woodley

With most home improvements or property makeovers in Woodley, quite a bit of waste will be created, and you'll need to make provision for this in the planning stage. For your floor screeding, varying amounts of waste will be created, depending on your particular circumstances, and the scope of your project. If the removal of waste isn't included in the quote, you will need to make your own arrangements, since a lot of screeding contractors don't have the facility to do this.

Regardless of whether the tradesman is sorting this out or you are doing it yourself, hiring a skip will often be the best option for waste removal. You will need to pick the appropriate size skip, as there are many different sizes available. Mini-skips hold roughly 2-3 yards of waste, midi-skips hold roughly 4-5 yards of waste, builders skips hold roughly 6-8 yards of waste and roll-on-roll-off skips hold roughly 20-25 yards of waste. Skip bags usually hold approximately 1-1.5 yards of waste.
