Why Choose Drylining Lincoln for Floor Screeding?

- Underfloor heating specialists: Our liquid screed flows perfectly around underfloor heating pipes, eliminating voids and maximising thermal conductivity.
- Fast-drying options: When deadlines are tight, we specify fast-drying screeds ready for foot traffic in 48 hours and floor coverings in 7 days.
- Large-area capacity: Our team can lay 500+ square metres per day with liquid screed, or 150+ square metres with traditional screed.
- Moisture testing included: We test screed moisture content with CM meters before floor coverings are installed. preventing future failure.

Frequently Asked Questions about Floor Screeding
What is floor screeding?
Floor screeding is the process of applying a thin, top layer of concrete or specialised screed material over a concrete subfloor to create a smooth, level surface ready for final floor finishes like tiles, carpet or wood flooring.
What types of screed do you install?
We install traditional sand and cement screed, liquid flowing screed (anhydrite), fast-drying screed, and fibre-reinforced screed. We will recommend the best type based on your project requirements and timeline.
How long does screed take to dry?
Traditional screed dries at approximately 1mm per day up to 40mm, then 0.5mm per day thereafter. A 50mm screed takes roughly 50-60 days to fully dry. Fast-drying screeds can be ready in 7-14 days.
Can screed be used with underfloor heating?
Yes. In fact, screed is the ideal partner for underfloor heating systems. Liquid flowing screed flows around heating pipes perfectly, providing excellent thermal conductivity and an even finish.
How much does floor screeding cost?
Traditional screed costs £18-£25 per square metre. Liquid flowing screed costs £22-£30 per square metre. Prices depend on thickness, area size, and access.
Do I need a damp proof membrane under screed?
Yes, if the subfloor is in contact with the ground. We install DPM and edge insulation as standard for ground floor applications to prevent damp ingress.
Can you screed over existing concrete?
Yes, provided the existing concrete is sound, clean, and level. We apply bonding agents or install an unbonded system with DPM if the substrate is unsuitable.
What areas do you cover for floor screeding?
We provide floor screeding services across Lincoln, North Hykeham, Sleaford, Gainsborough, Boston, Grantham, and all surrounding Lincolnshire areas.
