Frequently Asked Questions -Screeding and Floor Levelling
-
Floor screeding is the process of applying a smooth layer of sand and cement or specialist screed over a concrete subfloor. It creates a flat, level surface ready for the final floor finish, such as tiles, laminate, vinyl, engineered wood or carpet. A professionally laid screed provides a strong, durable base that helps ensure your flooring lasts for years.
-
Floor levelling is recommended when your existing floor has dips, uneven areas, cracks or imperfections. Levelling the floor before installing new flooring helps prevent movement, improves the finished appearance and ensures your chosen floor covering performs as it should.
-
Drying times depend on the type of screed, its thickness and the temperature and humidity of the room. Traditional sand and cement screed generally dries at around 1mm per day for the first 40mm. We'll always advise you on the expected drying time before work begins and let you know when the floor is ready for its final finish.
-
Yes. Floor screeding is commonly used over underfloor heating systems. The screed surrounds the heating pipes, helping to distribute heat evenly across the floor while protecting the pipework. We use the correct screeding methods to ensure a durable and efficient finish.
