Commercial floor screed

Installing commercial floor screed is a process that signifies the start of the transformational phase of a commercial construction project. It is when a construction site begins to look like a habitable commercial space.

Once commercial floor screed is applied, the use of the building can be imagined and the end of the project comes into sight.

Commercial floor screed

Clockwork Screed supply and install liquid floor screed for commercial projects. We have many years of experience in working with and advising main contractors and property developers on the best liquid floor screed application for their builds.

Quality flooring is a fundamental element of the specification of products and services on construction projects. Commercial spaces deal with heavy footfall so the specification of the commercial floor screed must be to the appropriate standard.

We are reliable screed installers in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and beyond, with over 30 years experience in laying liquid floor screeds and poured insulation.

What is floor screeding for commercial spaces?

Floor screeding is the application of a levelling layer of a cement and aggregate mixture, without any water, onto a subfloor. This creates a smooth finish ready for the top floor material such as laminate flooring, tiles or carpet.

For commercial spaces with underfloor heating, floor screeding is the ideal solution. It self-compacts so easily fills all gaps around the pipework. It also doesn’t bubble, resulting in a truly smooth finish.

Commercial construction projects involve a range of contractors and trades. The flooring can hold up other work if it isn’t installed quickly and efficiently. Floor screeding dries quickly, usually allowing light footfall within 48 hours, which avoids delays for other contractors.

Commercial floor screeding projects

Companies and organisations are under increasing pressure to present their properties well and create a good impression to workers, clients and the wider community. 

Quality flooring is central to this which is why Clockwork Screed is involved in many commercial floor screeding projects, with the remit to facilitate the ultimate high end finish. The beautiful shiny floors you see in offices and hotels wouldn’t have the level and clean finish without a high quality subfloor.

On site, Clockwork Screed’s commercial floor screeding dries and allows light footfall within 48 hours of being laid. It therefore doesn’t hold up the build process, which is good news for other contractors.

Case Study focus



Yum Cha is a London restaurant that needed a new floor to replace its old, damaged flooring. To provide a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment for their customers, the restaurant owners chose to install an underfloor heating system and a liquid screed floor.

Before laying the underfloor heating pipes, the existing flooring had to be removed and the substrate levelled. Following the installation of the heating pipes, the screed was poured and levelled to provide a smooth, level surface.

Our liquid screed dries faster than traditional screed, which can help to cut installation time in half. This was especially important for Yum Cha because they wanted to keep the restaurant open as much as possible during the installation process.

When combined with liquid screed, the underfloor heating system can provide improved energy efficiency, resulting in lower heating costs for restaurant owners and a more comfortable environment for customers and staff.

Our liquid screed is a long-lasting and durable solution, so Yum Cha will have a dependable flooring solution for many years to come. Read more about it here.
