A laser level is used to ensure that the finished screed is at the correct height.

The floor was 50mm out of level across its width and the screed increased the overall height by only 10mm.

The final result. This floor will be traffikable within 6 hours.
Work comprised the renovation of 15 old railway arches in central Newcastle which will eventually become home to new shops and offices. The old concrete slabs were in poor condition and were deemed unsuitable for their new purpose.
As a first step the old concrete slabs were prepared using a Blastrak Captive Beading System. The process is dust free and allows others to continue to work in the vacinity. After the application of a damp proof membrane the floor slabs were then overlaid with Fosroc Cemtop GP30 – a pumped self levelling screed with rapid hardening and curing properties which allows speedy access for foot traffic and overlaying with carpets, tiles, etc. The result is a hard wearing super flat floor.
