The Process of Screeding a Floor

Subfloor Preparation: We ensure the subfloor is level, clean, and free of debris. This might involve screeding a rough levelling layer if necessary.
Insulation Installation (Optional): For improved thermal performance, we can install a poured insulation layer directly onto the subfloor.
Mobile Screed Factory Delivery: Our mobile Clockwork screed truck arrives on-site and prepares the floor screed mix.
Screed Pumping and Levelling: The liquid screed is pumped directly onto the floor and levelled by our skilled team.
Finishing Touches: We then ensure the screed surface is smoothed and finished to our professional standard.
Drying and Curing: Allow the screed ample time to dry and cure, usually this is 24-48 hours.

Benefits of Floor Screeding

Floor screeding for your domestic property provides many benefits compared to traditional cement. Here are a few to help persuade you:

Smooth, Level Surface: Floor screed creates a perfectly flat and even base for your final floor coverings, ensuring a flawless finish for carpets, tiles, wood flooring, etc.
Improved Heat Distribution: Floor screed acts as a conductor, distributing heat evenly throughout the floor, especially beneficial for underfloor heating systems, leading to increased comfort and energy efficiency.
Reduced Thermal Bridging: A poured screed application minimises gaps and voids, reducing thermal bridging and heat loss through the floor, saving you money on heating bills.
Increased Soundproofing: Floor screed adds an extra layer of mass, which helps to dampen sound transmission both within the property and from outside.
Fire Resistance: Many floor screed options offer fire-resistant properties, enhancing the overall fire safety of your home.
Durable and Long-lasting: Floor screed is a highly durable material that can withstand heavy foot traffic and wear and tear for many years.
Suitable for Various Flooring Types: Floor screed acts as a compatible base for a wide range of final floor finishes, offering you design flexibility.
Faster Installation: Compared to traditional screeding methods, mobile screed factories provide a quicker installation process, minimising disruption to your domestic project.

Is liquid screeding a messy job for my home?
