A quick Pump Screed solution

Rapid pumped screed is a really useful way of laying a new floor. The screed can be pumped directly onto the base to cover large areas quickly, it also dries fast, minimising downtime for your business.

Is a Rapid Floor Screed right for you?

Industrial pumped screeds are a great option for resurfacing and repairing old or damaged industrial flooring. The screed is very strong and also quick to lay, therefore the amount of downtime for businesses is kept to a minimum. If a surface needs levelling, screed can provide this from 2mm to 50mm thick. It can be a wearing surface or can be topped by a resin coating for a hygienic and attractive floor surface.

Not to be confused with concrete screed, industrial screed is up to twice as strong and dust free. There are a range cases where screed would be a great fit, from light commercial settings to level out surfaces under carpeting, to heavy duty industrial settings where heavy machinery and forklifts are operated.

Pump screed sets in under 2 hours, if you choose a heavier duty option you can drive a forklift on it in 4 hours.

How it works

Rapid pump screed is laid using a screed pump, enabling a fast installation of flooring, especially over large areas. The material itself is made by combining a fine powder with a thin liquid. The liquid (screed) is measured until the thickness and consistency of the overall screed is perfect for installation.

The pumping of the screed allows it to spread across surfaces and level itself out to some extent. This means that it is perfect for laying on uneven substrates as it can help level the surface. Once it has been pumped, the screed self-smooths across the floor and a spiked roller is used to remove any air bubbles. Maintenance Contracts use screws and a laser line so that our team of professional screeders can level the surface to within 1-2mm.

Following the application, the flooring can be topped with an epoxy coating or polished to increase the aesthetic appeal of your flooring, or you can get straight back to work to minimise business disruption.

For most jobs we use Weber screed, which we have found to be the best. It performs consistently and always sets properly, so you don’t risk unexpected delays.

Case Study

Iceland Case Study

What they needed DHL/Iceland needed demarcation lines on the floor for walkways and pallet locations but the areas were in almost constant use and the temperature was 2 degrees. All the usual types of epoxy resin and polyurethane resin line marking systems took between 18 and 24 hours to cure. The client simply couldn’t do without the floor area for that amount of time and the only resin that had worked in the time was a Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) which caused fumes that would taint the food stored there so that was a ‘no-go’. What we did Maintenance Supplies Contracts...

UBH Tanks Case Study

What they needed Universal Bulk Handling (UBH) was the UK’s only tank container manufacturer, who produce large and weighty storage container tanks that are used with road chemical tankers. These are very heavy and can weigh up to several tonnes. Because of the weight, several areas of the flooring at UBH were in poor condition and the significant weight applied to the flooring in the spray booths had caused major damage, and made the flooring almost unusable. What we did Due to the significant deterioration in several flooring areas, we needed to remove as much of the existing flooring system...

Boohoo Warehouse Line Marking

What they needed Boohoo is a major provider of ‘fast fashion’ who specialise in low cost clothing that is sent out quickly after online purchases. In a large distribution centre in Burnley 2500 operatives work 24/7 to get up to 350,000 items sent out daily. They needed safety walkways installing in case of a fire to help people evacuate the building. However, due to the fast turn arounds that the company works to, only small areas could be cordoned off at any one time. To make matters more difficult there was no power available for the preparation equipment and trailing power leads...

DHL Case Study

What they needed DHL is one of the largest logistics companies in the UK that deals with a large number of forklift trucks entering and exiting their facility every day. These forklift trucks were not only causing wear and tear to the floor, but they were bringing in water to the building which was causing a potential hazardous situation, as the forklifts were at risk of slipping. The area was used at all times, which meant that it was difficult to set aside any area for repair work for longer than a few hours at a time. What we did...

South Western Hotel Case Study – Newquay Hotel

What they needed A South Western Hotel chain contacted Maintenance Supplies Contracts Ltd to get the next kitchen floor done after the success of the last contract. The original floor in this kitchen facility was an exhausted and had drab tiles. We decided a polyurethane screed would be the best product for the kitchen. However, in order to lay a floor with a fresh looking finish that was built to last, the tiles would have to be removed first. What we did Operatives set about removing the tiled flooring using Hilti 905 Breakers. Beneath the first layer of tiles were...
