Post-Installation Guide

Essential aftercare guidance for protecting a freshly installed flowing screed through the rest of the build programme.

About this document

Once the screed has been poured and the surface has set, the work of protecting it begins. This guide sets out the steps that the main contractor, the follow-on trades and the floor finisher should take to ensure the screed reaches its design strength and surface quality without damage.

Topics covered include drying regimes, force-drying with underfloor heating, surface preparation, moisture testing, and the protective measures required when other trades return to the floor.
