Insulation and Retanol Sand and Cement Screed Installed In Clacton Essex: Well, this was certainly an interesting job! We were asked to install insulation and a rapid drying screed into the Clacton Ambulance Station, where they are turning the existing garage into a training classroom.
This was interesting because the existing floor was to a fall, but they wanted the floor to be a level flat surface, so the job required different thicknesses of insulation board to level the floor, ready to take a Retanol sand and cement screed.
One of the intriguing aspects of this job was the need to transform the existing floor, which had a fall, into a level flat surface. Achieving this transformation required careful planning and the use of various materials. The first step involved installing different thicknesses of insulation boards to level the floor. This was a crucial aspect, as it not only provided the required insulation but also set the foundation for creating a flat surface.
The insulation boards played a dual role in enhancing the energy efficiency of the space while addressing the specific leveling needs of the floor. These boards served as a barrier to heat loss, ensuring that the training classroom would be well-insulated and energy-efficient. Simultaneously, they provided the necessary foundation for the subsequent steps in the process.
Following the installation of the insulation boards, the next phase involved applying a Retanol sand and cement screed. The choice of Retanol, a type of additive, indicates a commitment to achieving a rapid drying process. This is particularly crucial in a busy and operational space like an ambulance station, where downtime is minimized, and quick project turnaround is essential.
The application of the Retanol sand and cement screed not only addressed the leveling requirements but also offered a durable and robust flooring solution. The rapid drying aspect of the screed ensured that the transformed classroom space could be ready for use in a relatively short period.
In essence, the project at the Clacton Ambulance Station showcased the integration of different materials and techniques to overcome specific challenges. The transformation from a garage with a sloped floor to a level and insulated training classroom not only met the functional needs of the space but also contributed to its overall efficiency and sustainability. The successful completion of such a complex and interesting job reflects the expertise and adaptability of the professionals involved in the project.

I did screed with them twice, we had our house done in 2 phases and in the 1st phase they supplied us with specific stats, on the 2nd phase they supplied us with different stats model and a control box which allows to connect to them remotely but, then I had an issue with the phase 1 stats won't connect to the system as they don't support that functionality. I rang their customer support and explained the issue, they offered to swap the phase 1 stats with new ones so, all stats will be from the same model and all will connect to the control box. One more word about their expertise, the 2 phases were done a part so the 1st phase screed was higher than the existing old bit, when they came to do the old bit on the 2nd phase, I asked if they can do the screed so that both bits will be same height, they did it perfectly, both phases met up level and the wood floor on top is at the same height, I must say I was sceptic but, these guys are awesome, they are experts in what they do. that made me so happy! That is a company who cares about their business and about their customers. I will definitely recommend and will definitely do business with them again. Thanks you Co-Dunkell![]()

We had our screed pumped in and laid by the team at Co-Dunkall today at our self-build, the three man team onsite and those in the office were all professional and friendly at all stages from quotation, survey and the final delivery and instation. Everyone has done what they said they would do and within the timescale given. If you need pumped floor screed I can recomend this company 100%![]()

We had Co-dunkall provide a cemfloor screed for an outbuilding which needed the floor raising. Thoroughly professional service 3 survey calls and inspections prior to the job. Nikki and the office team all highly knowledgable on so many aspects and on the day they even provided a 6 wheel mini mix to accommodate the property complexities. Good follow up and so pleased for a very clean and tidy washout considering how messy the job can be. You would not know they had been on site. End result is exactly what we needed![]()
