Can anyone suggest a reliable outfit to put liquid screed into a 20 square metre floor? @Plasterers1StopShop I believe you do that, but is it too far from you?

Hi mate, wouldn't cost effective for us to do it as we are too far.

I will see if we have any customers local to you

That'd be good thanks. (y) Nice easy access for truck and pump right outside the building, hose straight in the window. The job's about 5 mins off the M42 junction 3. I'd say around middle of June, but I can be flexible with that if required.
 
Ring tarmac they sort you out but probably will be a small quantity for any outfit, won't be any money in it, I was struggling for 2 months to find someone to pump 42m² at 75mm thickness. why don't you get nisus to do traditional screed?

I think there is a decent size company who do that based in Stratford. I'm in pub so you will have to google it. There's also someone very good in Coventry I could get you number tomorrow.

Cheers for that, if you wouldn't mind it'd be helpful.

@Nisus do screeding? You should hear him crying when he has to do a full bag of skim!

I asked him to skim a bedroom at my house, normal full rates as "there's no mates in this game". :( First day was the 16 square metre ceiling. Second day was three walls (one with a door in it) and a 500mm strip that goes round where the bay sticks out from the main part of the bedroom.

I had to get on the trowel and skim one wall with the rad pipes as it was "awkward" and the band round the bay as that was awkward too.

So I think the chances of him throwing down S&C screed are somewhere in between none and fcuk all. Mind you, to be fair I'm not sure his granddad knees are up to it at his age.

Pay him double! :eek:

It'd be cheaper to use powdered rhino horn, with a saffron aggregate mixed using unicorn tears on the space station brought down and tipped in a cup full at a time from the holy grail carried on a gold litter supported by the entire Chelsea football team being fanned by 24 naked virgin supermodels.

It should be OK as it's going onto a membrane over a quarry tile floor to act as a thick leveller. The conservation officer won't allow the floor to be touched, and whatever goes on top must be removable. So a floating screed seems the best answer as the lady of the house wants Amtico.

what is a floating screed ?
why not lay a floating timber floor, finished in ply with sub floor compound over the joints, this will take Amtico finish.

Screed not bonded to the substrate, in this case the membrane is separating them.

Timber won't help as it won't be flat as it'd be floating on the uneven and sloping floor. The floor as it is slopes and has high spots and dips. The other thing is that to get a timber floor rigid enough it would need to be quite thick so it would come up way too high.
