Screed Suppliers in Littlehampton, Worthing and Locations in all Sussex Areas
Coastal Concrete Ltd is well known for the supply of site-mixed concrete and volumetric concrete in the Sussex area, but there are plenty of other reasons to use our services. We also trade as screed suppliers. Screed is a material that is applied in thin layers over a concrete subfloor and leaves a smooth and level surface that facilitates flooring installations. The main components of a screed include cement, sharp sand and water, mixed at 1:3 or 1:4 ratios.
We are screed suppliers to the following areas:
Arundel | Bognor Regis | Lancing | Littlehampton | Rustington | Worthing
Screed failure is a common problem that affects construction projects across the UK, so builders and contractors tend to be extremely cautious about the type of screed they choose. Ready-mixed screeds, which are batched and prepared offsite, have long been a mainstay of the trade. In more recent times, however, site-mixed screeds have grown to become more popular.
Our use of volumetric lorries makes Coastal Concrete Ltd a preferred local and regional choice for the delivery of a site-mixed product. The area’s most reputable screed suppliers now specialise in volumetric consignments.
Ready-Mixed Screed
Although there are still many ready-mixed screed suppliers in Sussex, we find clients have concerns about price and the prospect of hardening. A ready-mixed product will cost more than a site mixed alternative and, even with the use of a retardant, any delay in getting a screed to site can render an entire batch as unusable. It is also difficult to order large batches at short notice.
Ready-mixed screeds can cause more wastage, and this type of product is not necessarily one that is favoured by trade and industry professionals.
This isn’t to say a ready-mixed product isn’t suitable for some applications. A batch mix still meets BS EN 13813 standards, and most batch mixing plants will produce material to a high standard using strict quality control measures.
Site-Mixed Screed
Because BS EN 13813 doesn’t cover all site-mixed products, it is important to only use screed suppliers with skill and expertise. Coastal Concrete Ltd has built its solid reputation in the Arundel, Bognor Regis, Lancing, Littlehampton, Rustington and Worthing areas by accurately working to specifications which ensure a high quality of product that is freshly prepared once a volumetric lorry arrives onsite. Cement, sharp sand and water are held in compartments.
We only begin mixing screed when you are ready to lay it.
The benefits of a site-mixed screed include:
- Onsite mixing allows for more flexibility if the needs of a project change
- No premium rates charged by suppliers for batch mixing or delivery
- Because we mix components onsite, waste is kept to a minimum
- Contractors benefit from control over expenses and accurate pouring
By making Coastal Concrete Ltd your preferred screed suppliers, it is possible to manage projects in Sussex with greater efficiency and at an affordable price.
