A company holding accreditations shows they have been assessed and trained in using these screeding products and can offer a high standard of service in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is ideal for basic residential usage and comprises a combination of cement and sand. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. The standard flooring screed will dry at a rate of one millimetre thickness each day.

Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is needed due to construction factors, a polymer screed provides an extremely high strength solution to this situation. Manufacturer's guidelines for curing times differ across the various product ranges.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to use the area in question at the earliest opportunity a fast drying screed may be used. These are normally a fibre reinforced kind of screed that dries out at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are employed in time dependent projects.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are expected to be high or heavy loading on the floor is necessary, heavy duty screeds allow for maximum strength and durability.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for residential use on top of under floor heating. The fibres in this screed mix enhance overall strength and durability whilst also protecting against thermal shrinkage and cracking. At around one millimetre per day, it has an identical curing rate to standard screed.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - Used to produce a high quality finish, especially where SR1 levels are necessary, by a cement and latex solution. It's largely used to produce a clean, smooth floor over the top of a poor quality or damaged substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. These can be as little as one millimetre thick, and thanks to the latex polymers, will still provide high strength.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain that the screeding is of a high quality finish that's hard wearing and durable, time must be spent on preparing the area prior to any screeding material being poured. Any grease, oil, paint and debris on the existing floor surface can affect the bonding 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 floor surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor all cracks should be repaired to stop them from "travelling" through your screed layer and causing deviations on the finished floor surface. A site survey will enable the screeding company to highlight this preparation work and complete it before commencing to pour the screeding.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be put down once the preparation work has been done to stop ground dampness affecting the screeding and floor materials. The DPM is made of thick polythene sheet and various layers may be used to act as a moisture barrier for the screeding.

A further airtight barrier might be necessary if your house is in an area which is regarded as prone to radon. If radon gas occurs in large amounts then a complete ventilation and extraction system may be installed under the layer of screed which will remove any gases that could seep in from ground level.

Once the base has been properly prepared and any DPMs installed, a primer or sealer is then put on. Primers help with the bonding process and are special applications matched to the kind of screed that is being applied. Devices such as airless sprays are used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by qualified screeding contractors in Bletchley following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Before the screeding can be laid, any under floor heating (if required) will now set out and installed. Insulation panels can be laid out and the cables and heating pipes will be securely attached to prevent any movement whilst the screed is being applied. Warmth is spread evenly across the floor in a skillfully installed underfloor heating system, and along with it being an effective choice of heating, it's a great choice for the majority of Bletchley renovation projects.

If you are not putting in under floor heating the screed will now be mixed and prepared in situ and laid. The particular requirements of the room will dictate the kind of screeding that is used. Don't forget that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you can walk over any screeded surface and a minimum seventy two hours before any flooring can be fitted. If you are using heavy duty or standard screeds the setting time is increased and the manufacturer's guidelines must be followed so as to get the best possible finish for your floor.

Once the screed has solidified it can be quality checked to establish the SR level. The basic SR test uses a 2 mtr straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the screed surface.

• SR1 - SR1 is the highest specification and allows only 3mm of deviation from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - If the screed deviates from the straight edge by five millimetres or less it is SR2 level and is the normal standard for commercial and industrial floors.

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

If your screed floor has been laid with specific loading in mind then a qualified structural engineer will be required to perform the tests. The testing will make sure that your newly laid screed surface is suitable for the load bearing requirements specified in the site survey. A "drop hammer test" will be performed on various areas of the screed and the outcomes documented. Only fully qualified structural engineers observing the British Standards BS8204 guidelines are allowed to perform such tests and sign off on the structural safety of a screed floor.
