Services
Floor Screeding
Our floor screeding service creates smooth, durable surfaces for residential and commercial properties. Using laser-guided technology, we ensure precise application of sand-cement or liquid screeds. The process includes accurate measurement, expansion joint placement, and surface preparation to guarantee long-lasting results. Ideal for new builds or renovations requiring a level base for tiles, wood, or carpet.
Underfloor Heating
We install energy-efficient underfloor heating systems compatible with various flooring types. Our process includes insulation layering, pipework installation, and pressure testing for wet systems. We offer standard and low-profile options suitable for new constructions or retrofitting in existing properties. The system ensures even heat distribution while maintaining structural integrity.
Concrete Pumping
Our concrete pumping service delivers precise installations for domestic and commercial projects. Using specialist equipment, we handle complex pours with minimal manual labor. The process ensures even distribution and compaction, meeting structural requirements for foundations, extensions, or industrial floors while reducing material waste.
Retrofit UFH
Designed for properties with height restrictions, our thin-section screed integrates underfloor heating with minimal build-up. The system allows retrofitting without major structural changes, using rapid-installation techniques that maintain thermal efficiency. Suitable for residential upgrades or commercial renovations requiring space-saving heating solutions.
Surface Preparation
We provide comprehensive surface preparation including moisture testing, laitance removal, and priming. Our process ensures optimal adhesion for final floor coverings by addressing imperfections in existing substrates. This includes recommended drying times and humidity checks to prevent future flooring issues.
