Floor Screeding Liss

Floor Screeding Liss Hampshire (GU33): If you are aiming to install under floor heating, are renovating a property or cellar or have an uneven or damaged floor in your Liss property, then it's a good time to think about bringing in a professional floor screeding company. Floor screeding delivers a smooth, level finish to a rough sub-base floor, and enables you to lay a suitable flooring material, (tiles, boards, carpets etc) over it. The screeding is a crucial process to guarantee a durable and quality finish to the entire floor surface.

FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS LISS

It does not matter how small or large the area you need to be levelled, an established floor screeding company in Liss will have the essential skills, knowledge and equipment to give you an outstanding level of service. After assessing your project they'll advise you on the perfect choice of screed and which strategy for applying it is most suitable for your circumstances.

It may be necessary, according to the intended use of the area, for a survey by a structural engineer to abide by building regulations on point loadings, load bearing and flex strength of the screed floor.

Working with a qualified and highly trained flooring specialist will guarantee that you get the right kind of screed for the room's anticipated usage and get the optimum lifespan out of the resulting flooring. There are many different types of floor screeding and picking the appropriate mix and laying technique is essential to create a quality floor that's long-lasting and fit for purpose.

Make sure that you get more than one quotation for your Liss based screeding project and also ask to what standard you are getting each quote. The quote may be based on what's called the Surface Regularity, or SR figure. SR2 and SR3 will be less expensive options, although the floor screeding finish could have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a perfect finish. This could mean that you may need to rectify any areas that might cause problems when laying your finished flooring solution.

The rules and regulations specified in the British Standards BS8204 must be observed by any Liss floor screeding company and they must also hold accreditation with the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Flowcrete, Gypsol, Cemfloor etc.) to demonstrate their safe working practices and competence. The training and assessment of a screeding contractor by such manufacturers is underlined through this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any flooring project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A mixture of sand and cement which is acceptable for standard residential use. This mix uses a 5 to 1 ratio of sand to cement. The standard flooring screed will dry at a rate of one millimetre thickness per day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A cement and latex mixture which can achieve the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. Primarily used to finish off a damaged floor or poor substrate level so as to lay a brand new flooring surface, such as tiles on the top of it. These can be as little as one millimetre thick, and because of the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to press ahead urgently with the flooring because of time limitations, these screeds dry more speedily than standard screeds. They're typically a fibre reinforced kind of screed which can dry at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are used in time-sensitive projects.

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

Polymer Screeds - Provides an extremely high level of strength with a minimal thickness. The curing times for these vary as outlined by product guidelines.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option where under floor heating is being installed in residential properties in Liss. The increased strength and flex offered by the special fibres within the screed help protect the resulting floor from shrinkage and cracking due to heat. At around 1mm per day, it has a similar drying rate to standard floor screed.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will have to carefully prepare the area before proceeding with any other work so as to ensure a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. Any grease, paint, debris and oil on the existing floor level can affect the bonding of the screed, and should be eradicated.

If any cleaning products are used during this stage it's important to make certain that no residues of detergents or soaps are left on the surface and it is allowed to dry out naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor all cracks should be mended to prevent them from "travelling" through your screed layer and producing imperfections on the final floor surface. During an on-site survey your Liss screeding contractor will establish what preparations are needed before any actual screeding work starts.

To protect the flooring materials and screeding layer from dampness rising up through the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be laid. There might be two or three layers of different thicknesses of polythene to act as barriers between the insulation layer and screed.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon gas then one additional barrier is essential to stop the gas from entering via the ground. If radon gas occurs in severe doses then a full extraction and ventilation system might be needed underneath the layer of screed which will extract any gases that could seep in from ground level.

As soon as the base has been properly prepared and any DPMs installed, a sealant or primer is then put on. Primers help the bonding process and are special applications matched to the sort of screed that's being used. Devices such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a primer or sealant, by certified screeding contractors in Liss sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Underfloor heating can now be installed and tested before screeding is poured. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and firmly attached to insulation panels to stop any movement in the course of the screed pouring. When properly installed an underfloor heating system is an excellent way to warm up a room and top quality screed retains its heat, generating an even level of warmth right across the floor surface.

The screeding can now be prepared in situ and spread onto the base. Your screeding contractor will have given you advice and guidance on which form of screed is suitable for your requirements, according to your intended use of the room. For advanced and quick drying screeds there will be at least twenty four hours delay before it can be walked on, and a further 3 days minimum before you can install any flooring materials. If you're hoping to end up with a well finished and hard-wearing floor surface you must stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to heavy duty and standard screeds where the timescale will be longer.

You can check the SR level of the completed screed as soon as it is hardened enough for walking on. The standard SR test uses a 2 metre straight edge to check for any variations in the screeded surface.

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

• SR2 - If the screeded surface has a deviation from the straight-edge of five millimetres or less it is classified as SR2 quality and is the standard for commercial and industrial projects.

• SR3 - If the deviation is 10mm or less the quality of the screeding is classed as SR3 and is fine for garage and utility areas.

If you require load bearing checks, a qualified structural engineer is needed to conduct the tests. The assessment will make sure that your new screeding is suitable for the load bearing requirements set down in the original site survey. An assessment called the "drop hammer test" will be performed at various areas on the screed and the results documented. Only trained structural engineers obeying the British Standards BS8204 regulations are allowed to carry out these tests and sign off on the structural safety of a screed floor.

Latex Floor Screeds Liss

When a bit of flexibility is required in the surface of a floor you might find that the application of a latex screed will be best. Latex screeds normally comprise two parts - a cement-based compound, and a liquid latex mixture. The latex liquid part replaces the water that's used in other types of screed, making it quicker drying and more flexible.

This latex screed is used to level a sub-floor prior to the final decorative surface being installed. This screed is appropriate for substrate made of stone tiles, asphalt, concrete, sand/cement or wood, is perfect for the application of flooring adhesives and gives a durable, smooth surface. If your subfloor has any movement in it, this latex floor screed will produce a crack-free, flexible finish, upon which your final floor coverings can sit.

When using a "floating" screed, for instance when an unbonded screed is being laid over a layer of either acoustic or thermal insulation, screed depths of 50-65mm may be required, and latex flooring screeds aren't suited to this purpose.

Screed Floor Removal Liss

Renovation and construction often require screed floor removal. This is the process of stripping away existing screed layers from floor surfaces. When upgrading or renovating a floor, this procedure is essential. It facilitates the preparation of the surface for the new flooring material or other alterations.

This complex task can be safely and effectively executed by specialist contractors who have the experience and expertise in this kind of work. Their competence sets the stage for a new lease of life for your floor by ensuring the safe and efficient elimination of the old screed. The value of this fresh start is manifold, including repairs, upgrades and changes in design.

Removing a screed floor requires specialist equipment and techniques, adapted to the particular job. Considering the type, thickness, and the applied surface of the existing screed is imperative. Effective removal with minimal disruption to the underlying structure is ensured by careful attention to detail.

One of the main benefits of removing screed floors is that it allows you to deal with any underlying problems that might have developed over time. Removing the old layer of screed, if it is uneven, damaged, or compromised, allows for a thorough assessment of the substrate. This assessment enables flooring contractors to ensure that the substrate is structurally sound and ready for the installation of new flooring materials.

Aside from that, the removal of screed flooring forms an important preparatory phase in the installation of underfloor heating systems in Liss. The process of removing the existing screed enables contractors to prepare a surface that is clean, level, and advantageous for heating element installation. By doing so, it makes way for an underfloor heating setup that is both efficient and effective, thereby improving the space's comfort and its energy efficiency. (62299 - Floor Screed Removal Liss)
