Reliable Sand Cement Screed Solutions
Sand cement screed remains a trusted choice for both domestic and commercial projects due to its strength and versatility. At MK Leavey Floor Screeding Ltd, we carefully mix and apply the screed to create a solid, level surface that is suitable for a wide range of flooring finishes. Whether you are preparing for tiles, wood, or carpet, our sand cement screed provides a stable base that will stand the test of time.
We also advise clients on the most suitable screed thickness and curing methods, ensuring that your floor achieves maximum strength and durability. Every step, from mixing to final finishing, is handled with care and precision, guaranteeing a smooth, reliable surface.
Seamless Integration with Flow Screed
While conventional screed provides traditional strength, there are times when a modern flow screed may be more appropriate. Our experts are skilled in both sand cement screed and flow screed applications, allowing us to recommend the best solution for your project. Flow screed offers quicker drying times and self-levelling properties, making it ideal for underfloor heating installations, while conventional screed is perfect for load-bearing floors and structural applications.

From homes to commercial buildings, our sand cement screed services are tailored to meet the requirements of each client. We handle projects of all sizes, offering meticulous site preparation, accurate mixing, and careful application. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship.
Professional Advice and Support
Our commitment to clients extends beyond installation. We provide guidance on screed curing, drying times, and recommended practices for protecting and maintaining your floors. Whether you are combining conventional screed with underfloor heating or preparing a floor for final finishes, our team is on hand to ensure the best results.

At MK Leavey Floor Screeding Ltd, we offer bespoke screeding solutions, tailoring mix ratios and application methods to suit each project’s size, access, and requirements.

LOAD-BEARING AND STRUCTURAL STRENGTH SERVICES
Our traditional screed provides excellent load-bearing capabilities, making it ideal for homes, offices, and commercial spaces. We ensure floors can support heavy foot traffic and equipment while maintaining long-term stability. This approach is particularly beneficial for projects where structural integrity is essential, providing a reliable base that enhances the durability and lifespan of all flooring types.
UNDERFLOOR HEATING AND LAYERED SYSTEM
We specialise in installing conventional floor screed that works seamlessly with underfloor heating systems. By securely holding pipework in place, it promotes even heat distribution across floors. Additionally, conventional floor screed can be applied over insulation boards, damp-proof membranes, or separating layers, making it compatible with layered floor systems. This flexibility ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency for all installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is conventional screed?
Conventional screed, often referred to as sand cement screed, is a traditional flooring base made from a mixture of sand and cement. It provides a strong, level surface suitable for tiles, wood, carpets, or underfloor heating.
​
How long does sand cement screed take to dry?
Drying times depend on thickness, temperature, and ventilation. Typically, a 50mm screed requires 21–28 days to fully cure, with thicker floors needing longer.
​
Can conventional screed be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, conventional screed can be used with underfloor heating, but for faster heat transfer and quicker drying times, flow screed may sometimes be recommended.
​
Do you provide both domestic and commercial screed services?
Absolutely. Our team has experience installing sand cement and conventional screed in residential homes, commercial buildings, and industrial units across Ashford and the surrounding areas.
​
How does conventional screed compare to flow screed?
Conventional screed is manually mixed and applied, offering traditional strength and suitability for load-bearing floors. Flow screed is self-levelling, quicker to install, and ideal for underfloor heating systems.
