Floor Screeding Baildon West Yorkshire (BD17): If you have a damaged or uneven floor, are aiming to install underfloor heating or are restoring a property or cellar, then you'll need to find a professional floor screeding contractor to assist you.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES BAILDON

It doesn't matter how big or small the area you need levelling, a genuine floor screeding specialist in Baildon will have the necessary know-how, skills and equipment to give you an excellent level of service. They will be able to assess the project and figure out the correct kind of screed you require and how best to apply it.

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

A skilled and qualified work force is imperative for a successful outcome and will extend the life of your floor by using the right kind of screed for your room's allocated purpose. The correct blend of screed and the way it is laid is also critical to guarantee the final intergrity of your floor surface.

Before deciding on a floor screeding contractor from the many based in the Baildon area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their quote, and also make sure you get two or three estimates. For domestic properties a quotation will generally be given for a Surface Regularity (SR) calculation of SR1 or SR2. SR1 is the highest quality, and while SR2 and SR3 might be more cost-effective at first glance, they do not guarantee a perfectly even or flat surface. An SR2 or SR3 level might mean there will be flat spots or ridges that might cause problems when putting down your final flooring materials.

British Standards BS8204 lays down the guidelines and regulations that all Baildon screeding installers must follow, and if using specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc), they should be approved by the manufacturers as being skilled and trained in their use. The training and testing of a screeding company by a manufacturer is underlined by the use of this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of safe working practices and reliability on any screeding project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A combination of cement and sand which is ideal for basic residential use. The standard screed is a mixture of 5 parts sand to one cement. Once laid this 5:1 ratio dries at a rate of one millimetre per day.

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is required. The drying times for these vary according to product guidelines.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - A screed that's designed for high load and heavy traffic areas where maximum strength and durability is vital.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option where under floor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Baildon. The improved strength and flex provided by the fibres within this screed mix help protect the floor from thermal cracking and shrinkage. At around 1mm per day, it has an identical setting rate to standard floor screed.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there is a need to use the area at the earliest opportunity a fast drying screed might be a good choice. The majority of the fast or advanced drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are appropriate for a wide array of projects where the speedier drying rate of 3-7mm/day is a welcome advantage.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When a high standard of finish is necessary this mix of of latex and cement is employed to achieve SR1 level floor screeding. This is mostly needed to provide a high quality floor over a damaged or poor quality substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. The liquid screed can be poured to a thickness of just 1mm, but still provides a strong surface to take a varied selection of flooring materials.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To guarantee the screeding is of a high quality finish that is hard wearing and durable, time must be spent on preparing the area prior to any screeding material being laid. It's vital that any contaminants such as loose debris, grease, oil or paint is eliminated from the floor surface before pouring any screed, because these can affect the bonding capability that a good quality screed demands.

Any cleaning chemicals which are used in this phase should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be permitted to dry out naturally. It is vital to repair any cracks or crevices in the surface to prevent them being mirrored and "travelling" upwards into your newly screeded floor. A reputable Baildon screeding installer will take note of such aspects during a site survey and ensure that all preparations are complete before moving on to the next steps in the screeding process.

To protect the flooring materials and screeding layer from moisture rising up through the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be laid. Different thicknesses of polythene sheeting might be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a barrier for the screed and any insulation materials.

Another air-tight barrier might be required if your property is in an area that's regarded as prone to radon. This could be just a simple air-tight membrane, or in more serious instances an extraction and ventilation system is installed under the screed to take away any influx of radon gas from the ground.

The final step of surface preparation is the spraying or painting of a primer or sealer. Sealers and primers assist with the bonding process and are special applications according to the kind of screed being used. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays are used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by certified screeding contractors in Baildon sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

If you are going to be installing underfloor heating, now is the time that it will need to be correctly set out and installed. Insulation panels can be put in position and the heating pipes and wires will be firmly mounted so that there is no movement while the screed is being poured. When expertly installed an under floor heating system is an efficient way to warm up a room and decent quality screed retains its heat, creating an even heat across the floor surface.

If you are not fitting underfloor heating the screed will now be prepared in situ and poured. Your screeding contractor will have given you advice on which type of screed is best for your requirements, according to your proposed use of the room. Don't forget that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you're able to walk over any screeded surface and a minimum seventy two hours before any floor coverings can be applied. Such timescales will be increased for standard and heavy duty screeds and the manufacture's instructions should be followed to the letter to produce the optimal finish and durability of the floor.

You can check the SR standard of the completed screeding as soon as it is solidified enough for walking on. Using a two metre straight-edge the floor surface is checked for any dips, deviations and ridges in the surface of the screed.

• SR1 - SR1 is the highest quality and permits just 3mm of disparity from the straight-edge.

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

• SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a perfect quality finish isn't needed. This specification can have a maximum permissible deviation depth of 10 millimetres.

If you need to check the screeded floor for load bearing, a structural engineer is needed to perform the testing. The testing will ensure your new screeding is viable for the load bearing requirements laid out in the site survey. An assessment called the drop hammer test will be performed on different areas of the screed layer and the results recorded. Any screed flooring that's got point load requirements must be okayed by a trained structural engineer observing the British Standards BS8204 regulations.
