Why screed floors fail in year one, and how to avoid it
Screed that cracks or lifts within twelve months usually traces back to decisions made before a single bag was mixed.
The wrong screed for the job is a common culprit. Underfloor heating, a heavy commercial load and a tight deadline each call for something different, whether that's liquid, sand and cement, lightweight or rapid drying.
Rushing is the other one. Deadlines matter, but a good contractor hits them without cutting corners on the finish.
That's why we offer free site visits and quotes. We'd rather look at the space, talk through your plans and recommend the right screed from the first conversation than fix problems later.
