Screeding

ABM Tiling installs high-quality screed layers to create perfectly flat, even surfaces ideal for tiling in new builds, renovations, and commercial projects across London. Screeding provides a strong, level base that ensures optimal tile adhesion, prevents cracking or movement, and accommodates falls for drainage in wet areas, forming the essential foundation for flawless, long-lasting tiled finishes.

Our process starts with a detailed site assessment to determine substrate type, required thickness, and performance needs. We prepare the base thoroughly, applying bonding agents where necessary, before laying traditional sand-cement screeds or modern pumped/self-levelling compounds. For faster projects, we use rapid-drying or anhydrite (gypsum-based) screeds that allow tiling in days rather than weeks. Thicknesses range from 10mm bonded to 75mm unbonded or floating, with reinforcement meshes for added strength in high-load areas.

Screeding is crucial in new constructions, extensions, bathroom or kitchen refurbishments, and commercial flooring where substrates are uneven or fresh concrete needs covering. It's particularly important for large-format tiles, underfloor heating systems (where even heat distribution is vital), or wet rooms requiring precise falls to drains. In older London properties with uneven joists or in modern developments with concrete slabs, screeding corrects imperfections and creates the perfect platform.

ABM stands out for our precision and versatility – we handle traditional hand-laid screeds for heritage sensitivity, pumped flowing screeds for large areas and speed, or lightweight options for upper floors. Dust extraction and protective measures minimise disruption, ideal for occupied sites. Our portfolio includes impeccably levelled screeded floors ready for luxury tiling in residential extensions, office fit-outs, retail spaces, and multi-storey apartments throughout London.

What sets ABM apart is our expertise in selecting the right screed system – we advise on drying times, compatibility with heating or waterproofing, and moisture testing to prevent failures. Compliance with British standards ensures warranties and peace of mind.
