Floor Screeding Woolston

Floor Screeding Woolston Cheshire (WA1): If you are restoring a property or cellar, are hoping to install under floor heating or have an uneven or damaged floor, then you'll be needing to find a professional floor screeding company to assist you. Floor screeding gives a smooth, level finish to a coarse sub-base floor, and allows you to lay a suitable flooring material, (tiles, carpets, boards etc) over the top of it. The screeding is a crucial process to ensure a high quality and durable finish to the entire floor surface.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES WOOLSTON

It matters not how large or small the area you need to be levelled, a professional screeding contractor in Woolston will have the essential skills, equipment and knowledge to provide you with an excellent level of service. After assessing your project they'll advise you on the optimal choice of screeding and which method of applying it is most suited to your circumstances.

The screeding contractor will also notify you if a structural engineer is required for your project, in order to evaluate any point loadings, flex strength and load requirements that your flooring might require to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

Bringing in a highly trained and skilled specialist will guarantee you use the proper form of screed for the room's anticipated usage and get the optimum lifespan out of the resulting floor. Picking the right screeding materials and the method of installation is crucial if you want a quality and durable finish for your floor surface.

Ensure that you get 2 or 3 quotations for your Woolston floor screeding project and also ask what standard of finish each quote is for. For residential homes an estimate will usually be provided for a Surface Regularity (SR) standard of SR1 or SR2. SR2 and SR3 will be more affordable options, however the floor screeding finish might have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a perfect finish. An SR2 or SR3 level might mean there are flat spots or ridges that may cause problems when laying your final flooring materials.

The regulations and guidelines specified in the British Standards BS8204 have to be followed by all Woolston floor screeding companies and they should also hold accreditation with the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc.) to demonstrate their competence and safe working practices. A contractor holding accreditation proves they've been trained and assessed in the use of these screeding products and can deliver a high quality standard in all areas of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for everyday residential usage and is a mix of cement and sand. Five parts sand to one part cement is the normal mix for standard screeds. This 5:1 ratio standard flooring screed will set hard at a rate of 1mm per day after application.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Made for maximum durability and strength in places where traffic is expected to be high or specific loading of the floor is required.

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Maker's guidelines for curing times differ across the various product ranges.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A latex and cement material which can produce the highest standard SR1 finish. Typically used to finalise a poor substrate level or damaged floor to enable the laying of a brand new flooring surface, like tiling over the top of it. Even with a depth of only one millimetre, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide variety of uses.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for residential use over the top of underfloor heating. The increased strength and flexibility provided by the special fibres in this screed mix help protect the flooring from thermal shrinkage and cracking. It dries out at the same rate as a standard screed, at about 1mm per day.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you need to progress urgently with the flooring because of time limitations, this screed dries much quicker than standard screeds. The vast majority of the fast or advanced drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are suitable for a wide range of flooring projects where the quicker curing rate of three to seven millimetres is a considerable advantage.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will have to prepare the area before proceeding with any other work in order to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. Any debris, paint, grease and oil on the original floor level can adversely affect the adhesion of the screed, and must be eliminated.

If cleaning products were used it's essential to remove any residues of soap, detergent etc, and allow the surface to dry naturally. At this point any cracks need to be repaired because these can easily travel up through a newly laid screed and be visible in the completed floor surface. A trustworthy Woolston screeding contractor will take note of these problems during the site survey and make certain that all preparations are complete before pressing on with the next stages of the floor screeding process.

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

If your house is situated in an area where radon is found a supplementary barrier layer is needed to stop radon gas from entering. This can be just a simple airtight membrane, or in severe instances an extraction and ventilation system will be installed under the screed to take away any influx of air and gas from ground level.

The final stage of the surface preparation process is the painting or spraying of a primer or sealer. These sealers and primers will guarantee the screed bonds successfully to the base surface and help accomplish a quality finished floor. On account of their specialist nature, only experienced screeders in Woolston are capable of using them safely and correctly and through the use of equipment which is made for the task.

If required, this is the time that underfloor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. Insulation panels will be put in position and the wires and heating pipes will be firmly fastened to prevent any movement whilst the screed is poured. Warmth will be spread evenly across the floor in a properly installed underfloor heating system, and along with it being an effective method of heating, it's an ideal choice for many Woolston home renovation projects.

The screeding can now be prepared in situ and applied to the floor base. The specific requirements of the room will dictate the form of screeding used. After the pouring of the screed there'll be at least 24 hours (for advanced and quick drying screeds) before you can walk on the surface, and a seventy two hours minimum drying period before the laying of any flooring materials. If you are laying standard or heavy duty screeds the setting time is longer and you must observe the manufacturer's guidelines in order to get the best possible finish to your floor.

You can assess the SR standard of the completed screed as soon as it is hardened enough for walking on. The basic SR test involves the use of a two metre long straight-edge to check for any variations in the floor surface.

• SR1 - Disparities of 3mm or less as measured across the whole area shows your screed floor to be of the finest quality and classed as SR1.

• SR2 - SR2 is the classification for normal standard commercial and industrial floors and can deviate from the straight-edge by up to 5 millimetres.

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

If your screed has been laid with particular load bearing requirements in mind then a qualified structural engineer will be necessary to carry out the tests. The testing will make sure that your new screed surface is viable for the load bearing requirements set down in the site survey. A "drop hammer test" will be performed on different areas of the screed and the outcomes recorded. Only certified structural engineers following the British Standards BS8204 regulations are permitted to conduct these tests and sign off on the structural integrity of the screeding.
