When Is Floor Screeding Needed?

Floor screeding is needed when a smooth and level foundation is required for installing final floor finishes. At LC Screeding, we recommend screeding for new builds, extensions, and renovation projects where a base is needed for tiles, wood, or vinyl flooring.

Screeding is also crucial when there’s a need to incorporate underfloor heating systems, as it ensures efficient thermal conductivity and even surface coverage.

For construction projects involving commercial spaces or industrial warehouses, screeding provides the durability needed to withstand heavy foot traffic. We use different materials, such as traditional sand and cement or fast-drying screeds, depending on the project’s timescale.

For large-scale applications, automated pumps allow us to quickly cover expansive areas with consistent thickness. We adhere to British Standards BS 8204, ensuring our work complies with the necessary quality and safety benchmarks.

How Does LC Screeding Work?

Our floor screeding process involves a series of professional steps to ensure a flawless finish that meets industry standards and your specific needs. We employ various methods and materials to cater to different project requirements, ensuring optimal results.

Initial Consultation: We assess your project requirements and recommend the best screed type, such as traditional sand and cement screed or fast-drying liquid screed, depending on the project timeline and load-bearing capacity.
Preparation: Our team prepares the site by cleaning debris and installing a damp-proof membrane to prevent moisture ingress, ensuring the base is ready for screeding.
Screed Application: We apply the chosen screed using precision techniques for even distribution. For large areas, we may use laser-guided screeding equipment to maintain the correct thickness and surface level.
Finishing Touches: We complete the process with accurate levelling and surface smoothening using a power float or trowel to achieve the desired flatness and texture.

Once complete, we allow the screed to cure properly, typically taking up to seven days for initial set before subjecting it to heavy foot traffic. Contact us to start your project today.
