Floor Screeding Sandiacre

Floor Screeding Sandiacre Derbyshire (NG10): If you are hoping to install underfloor heating, are restoring a property or cellar or have an uneven or damaged floor, then making contact with a professional floor screeding company in Sandiacre is the best option. Allowing you to lay a suitable flooring material, (carpets, tiles, boards etc) on top of it, screeding provides a smooth finish to a rough sub-base floor. Floor screeding will provide a high quality and durable finish for virtually any room.

FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS SANDIACRE

Providing a superb standard of service, a competent screeding firm in Sandiacre will have the appropriate equipment, know-how and skills, regardless how big or small the room is that you need to be levelled. To establish the right type of screed you need, and the best way to install it, they'll do a proper evaluation of your project.

It might be a requirement, according to the proposed use of the room, for a structural engineering survey to abide by building regulations on load bearing, flex strength and point loadings of the screed floor.

Bringing in a qualified and highly trained specialist will guarantee that you use the appropriate type of screed for the room's intended purpose to extend the lifetime of your floor. Selecting the appropriate screeding materials and the method of installation is vital if you want to finish up with a quality and durable finish for your floor surface.

Make certain you get more than one estimate for your Sandiacre floor screeding project and also ask to what standard you are getting each quote. The SR (Surface Regularity) finish is the figure to watch out for when receiving a quote from Sandiacre screeding companies. Each of the 3 SR levels offer different levels of finish, with SR1 being the highest quality, with the smallest amount of deviation over the area of the floor. Any imperfections in the screeding (as might arise with SR2 or SR3) may cause issues with laying flooring owing to flat spots, indentations, ridges in the floor surface.

The guidelines and regulations set out in in the British Standards BS8204 have to be followed by any Sandiacre floor screeding company and they must also be approved by the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc.) to verify their competence and safe working practices. The training and assessment of a screeding contractor by a manufacturer is underlined through this accreditation scheme, and gives assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any flooring project which involves their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in domestic projects where the blend of sand and cement is perfect for normal floor traffic usage. The standard screed is a mix of five parts sand to one of cement. This five to one ratio standard flooring screed will set hard at a rate of just 1mm per day after application.

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

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, these screeds dry rapidly and allow you to use the screeded area much faster. The vast majority of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are perfect for a wide array of flooring projects where the swifter drying rate of 3-7mm is a welcome advantage.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favourite choice of professional contractors for use with under floor heating systems. The fibres in this screed mix increase overall durability and strength while also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. At around one millimetre per day, it has an identical drying rate to standard screed.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - Used to produce the highest quality of finish, especially where SR1 levels are essential, by a latex and cement solution. Mostly used to improve a poor substrate level or damaged floor to enable the laying of a new flooring surface, like tiling on top of it. This liquid screed can be laid to a depth of just 1mm, but will still provide a strong surface to take a varied selection of flooring materials.

Polymer Screeds - Provides a high level of strength with a lower thickness. Due to their different chemical compositions, polymer screeds have varying curing times which can be verified by studying manufacturer's own product guidelines.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will have to prepare all areas before any other work so as to ensure a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. Any oil, debris, paint and grease on the existing floor level can affect the bonding of the screed, and must be removed.

Any cleansing chemicals which are used during this process shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry out naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be repaired to prevent them from "travelling" up through your screed layer and producing deviations on the finished surface. During a site survey the screeding installer will establish what preparations are necessary before any actual screeding commences.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be applied after the preparation work has been done to stop ground moisture getting into the flooring materials and screed. Different thicknesses of polythene sheeting may be used as a damp proof membrane and also act as a buffer for the screed and any insulation materials.

If your property is situated in a place where radon gas is present an additional barrier layer is needed to prevent radon gas from seeping through. If radon occurs in large amounts then a complete extraction and ventilation system might be needed under the screed which will remove any gases that are seeping in from ground level.

The final phase of surface preparation is the painting or spraying of a sealant or primer. These primers and sealers will make certain that the screed bonds successfully to the floor base and help achieve a good quality finished floor. These materials require qualified tradesmen to apply them in the appropriate proportions by using airless sprays and other tailor-made equipment.

If required, this is the time that underfloor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. Insulation panels can be arranged and the wires and heating pipes will be securely mounted to prevent any movement while the screed is being applied. Warmth will be evenly spread across a floor area in a professionally fitted under floor heating system, and with it being an efficient choice of heating, it is an ideal choice for the majority of Sandiacre home restoration projects.

If you're not installing under floor heating the screed can now be mixed and prepared on site and laid. The particular requirements of the room will dictate the type of screeding that's used. Remember that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you're able to walk on any screeded surface and a minimum seventy two hours before any flooring materials can be fitted. If you're looking to wind up with a well finished and durable floor surface you must stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regard to heavy duty and standard screeds where this timescale will be increased.

You can assess the SR level of the completed screed once it's set enough to walk on. The standard SR test uses a 2 mtr straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the screeded surface.

• SR1 - Over the whole screed area, if there are no deviations greater than 3mm from the straight-edge, then you've got a top quality SR1 specification surface.

• SR2 - If the floor surface has a deviation from the straight-edge of 5mm or less it is classified as SR2 quality and is the standard for industrial and commercial projects.

• SR3 - For other floors where the finish is fairly inconsequential the SR3 is the classification and should have a deviation measurement of 10 millimetres or less.

It may also be necessary for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. This assessment will ascertain the overall strength of the screed and its suitability for the proposed use. The screeding could be subjected to a drop hammer test to measure flexibility and strength in specific areas. Any screed floor that has point load requirements must be okayed by a certified structural engineer observing the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.
