The purpose of this website is to give information about the various types of floor screed that is freely available. In time we hope that this site will have many links to top quality floor screeding contractors in all areas of the UK. In the meantime we will be adding information regarding all types of floor screed. We don’t intend on having a forum, we just want to have good solid information.
If you have any questions please email, I will respond as early as possible. If you have any disagreement , or notice any mistakes, with any information on this page please contact me via the email.
