Floor screeding will provide a high quality and durable floor surface for any room.

FLOOR SCREEDING CONTRACTORS HARTLEY WINTNEY

It does not matter how big or small the area you require to be levelled, an established screeding contractor in Hartley Wintney will have the appropriate knowledge, expertise and equipment to give you an excellent standard of service. They will be able to assess the project and verify the appropriate kind of screed you require and how best to apply it.

It may be a requirement, depending on the proposed use of the room, for a survey by a structural engineer to conform with building regulations on point loadings, flex strength and load bearing of the screed floor.

The skills and training that a certified screeding technician brings to your project will guarantee a successful result and help to lengthen the lifetime of your flooring. The correct mixture of screed and the way it is laid is also crucial to guarantee the final intergrity of your floor surface.

Make sure you get two or three estimates for your Hartley Wintney screeding project and also ask what standard of finish each estimate is for. For residential homes a quotation will generally be given for an SR (Surface Regularity) calculation of SR1 or SR2. Each of the 3 SR levels provide different standards of finish, with SR1 offering the best, with the smallest amount of deviation over the area. This could mean that you may have to rectify any patches that could cause issues when laying your final flooring material.

The regulations and guidelines specified in the British Standards BS8204 must be followed by any Hartley Wintney floor screeding contractor and they should also be accredited by the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Cemfloor, Gypsol, Flowcrete etc.) to confirm their safe working practices and competence. The assessment and training of a floor screeding company by such manufacturers is underlined through the accreditation scheme, and gives assurances of safe working practices and reliability on any project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A combination of sand and cement which is acceptable for basic domestic use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. After laying a standard screed mixture dries out at a rate of just 1mm/day.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, this screed dries at a quicker rate and allows you to use the screeded area much sooner. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm, subject to the mix, they're generally a fibre reinforced kind of screed and are perfect for flooring projects that have tight schedules.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Developed for maximum durability and strength in places where traffic is high or heavy loading on the floor is necessary.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - Used to provide a high quality finish, especially in SR1 levels of screeding, by a latex and cement formula. This self-levelling compound provides a clean and smooth surface over a damaged floor or rough substrate to allow all kinds of flooring materials to be laid. The liquid screed can be poured to a thickness of only one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength base for a wide range of flooring finishes.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Hartley Wintney. The fibres in the screed improve it's durability and strength whilst also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. The screed will dry out at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced screed thickness is necessary. Polymer screeds are available from a number of screed manufacturers and owing to their varying chemical compositions have distinct setting times for each individual product.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to carefully prepare all areas before any other work so as to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. Any grease, paint, debris and oil on the original floor surface can affect the adhesion of the screed, and should be eradicated.

If cleansing products were used it is vital to remove any remnants of soap or detergent, and allow the surface to dry naturally. It is essential to mend any crevices or cracks in the surface to stop them being reflected and "travelling" up into your freshly screeded floor. A reliable Hartley Wintney screeding specialist will take note of such problems during a site survey and make sure all preparations are finished before pressing on with the next steps in the floor screeding process.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be applied once the preparation work has been concluded to prevent ground moisture getting into the screeding and floor materials. The DPM is made out of thick polythene sheet and various layers could be used to serve as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screed.

An additional airtight barrier could be required if your home is in a location that is regarded as susceptible to radon gas. This could be just a simple air-tight membrane, or in more serious instances a ventilation and extraction system will be installed under the screed to extract any influx of air and gas from ground level.

As soon as the base has been prepared and any membranes installed, a primer or sealant is then put on. These sealers and primers will ensure the screed bonds properly to the base surface and help to accomplish a high quality finished floor. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by experienced screeding installers in Hartley Wintney following the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

If you're installing under floor heating, now is the time that it will need to be laid out and installed. The heating pipes and wires are securely attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and ensure they're laid in the correct position. Warmth will be spread evenly across a floor area in a skillfully fitted under floor heating system, and coupled with it being an efficient choice of heating, it is a great choice for many Hartley Wintney home renovation projects.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and spread onto the floor base. The requirements of the room will dictate the kind of screeding that is used. Don't forget that even advanced and quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you can walk on any laid surface and at least seventy two hours before any flooring materials can be applied. Such timescales will be increased for heavy duty and standard screeds and the manufacture's guidelines must be followed to the letter to create the optimal finish and durability of the floor.

You can assess the SR level of the completed screeding once it's hard enough to walk on. The basic SR test uses a two metre straight edge to check for any deviations in the screeded surface.

• SR1 - Over the whole area, if there aren't any disparities greater than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, then you've got a top quality SR1 level surface.

• SR2 - If the screed has a deviation from the straight-edge of 5 millimetres or less it is SR2 quality and is the normal standard for commercial and industrial projects.

• SR3 - If the deviation around the room is 10 millimetres or less the screeding quality is specified as SR3 and is the standard required for garage and utility areas.

If you need load bearing checks, a structural engineer is necessary to perform the testing. This assessment will determine the strength of the screeded surface and its suitability for the proposed use. A drop hammer test will be conducted at various areas on the screed layer and the outcomes documented. Only experienced structural engineers observing the British Standards BS8204 guidelines are permitted to carry out these tests and sign off on the structural safety of a screed floor.

Granolithic Screeding Hartley Wintney

Granolithic screeding is a process of creating an even and smooth surface for floor coverings like tiles or carpets. It involves mixing cement, aggregate and sand to form a mixture, which is then applied to a concrete base. The mixture is levelled with a straight edge to give it a smooth surface.

Granolithic screeding is normally used in industrial and commercial buildings as well as in high-traffic areas in residential buildings. It is also commonly used in areas where abrasion and chemical resistance are necessary. The resulting surface is smooth and hard, which makes it easy to clean and maintain, and provides a perfect base for other flooring products.

The granolithic screeding process involves preparation of the concrete base, mixing the screed mixture, laying the mixture, and allowing it to cure. Proper application and curing techniques are crucial for the strength and longevity of the screed. The screed must be completely cured before any additional flooring products are installed....
