What is screed?
Many people ask What is screed ? or What is screeding ?.
The answer Screed is simply a thin layer of material applied over a structural concrete floor. The purpose of screeding is to produce a flat, smooth, and durable surface ready for the final floor finish.
Screeding is the process of placing and levelling this material to achieve a precise and even surface. Screeds are typically made from a screed mix consisting of sand, cement, water, and sometimes screed additives and / or screed fibres for added strength.

Types of floor screed
Different projects require different screeds. For example, traditional sand and cement screed is commonly used in homes, while flowing liquid screed can be more effective on larger commercial projects.
There are several types of flooring screed available, each suited to different environments. The most common systems include traditional sand cement screed, flowing liquid screeding and specialised industrial screed systems designed for heavy use, capable of withstanding heavy loads, frequent traffic in factories, warehouses and workshops.

Sand and cement screed
Traditional screed remains one of the most widely used screed flooring systems in the UK. The typical mix for screed floor is around five parts sand to one part cement, although this can vary depending on structural requirements.
This floor screed mixture is applied by our experienced installers who level the material by hand to create durable screeded floors. When reinforced with screed fibres, the screed becomes much stronger and is more resistant to shrinkage and cracking.
Traditional screeding floor methods are ideal for smaller projects, home extensions, and refurbishment work.
How long does floor screed take to dry?
Another common question is how long does floor screed take to dry. Screed floor drying time depends on the screed type, thickness, and site conditions. Specialist fast drying screeds may reduce overall ‘walk on’ times for commercial projects.

Underfloor heating
Many modern homes combine underfloor heating screed with liquid or traditional screeds. A well designed underfloor heating screed floor distributes heat evenly across the room, creating a comfortable and energy efficient heating system.
Homeowners often ask questions such as how much does underfloor heating cost, cost of underfloor heating, or is underfloor heating expensive. While the initial installation cost can be higher than traditional radiators, running costs are often lower because the system operates at lower temperatures.
Typical installation prices range between £80 and £120 per m² depending on insulation, pipe layout and floor build up. The underfloor heating cost per m2 varies depending on the property size and heating system design.
We provide the complete underfloor heating package.
We supply and install EVERYTHING required for underfloor heating installation. From DPM, Radon barrier, insulation and floor screed materials through to the boiler itself.

Liquid screed has gained popularity in the UK construction industry due to its efficiency, smooth finish, and compatibility with underfloor heating systems. Unlike traditional sand and cement screeds, liquid screed is self-levelling and provides superior performance in many applications.
Fast drying screed
Fast drying screeds are specially formulated to reduce drying times, allowing for quicker installation of floor finishes. These screeds are widely used in construction and renovation projects where time constraints require rapid completion.
Polymer screed
Polymer screed is a modified screed that incorporates polymer additives to improve strength, flexibility, and durability. It is commonly used in demanding environments where traditional screed may not provide adequate performance.
