Why do you need to use a screed on the floor of a new building? This is something that we are asked from time to time at UK Screeds as experts in floor preparation service in London. The answer is that if you want your floors to be flat and level, then you need a screed laid over the top of the concrete substrate before you lay the final flooring, whatever it may be.

Most new buildings in Manchester are being constructed with the installation of underfloor heating because of the many benefits it has compared to a radiator system. In fact, many people today consider radiators as very “last century” and indeed they are. They are by no means as efficient in heating a room or any other area as underfloor heating.

If you are thinking about installing underfloor heating in your home in London, you are not alone. There are numerous benefits, some of which many people are not aware of.

When you are constructing almost any sort of building, other, perhaps, than something such as a cowshed, it is a given that you need the flooring to be as flat and level as possible. If it is a cowshed, then you can just use the concrete base, but for most buildings it is necessary to add a screed, since concrete is never going to be flat enough to add the final flooring, whatever it may be.
