What Screed Aftercare Involves

Proper aftercare is critical to achieving a durable, crack-free floor. Whether you’ve had liquid screed or traditional sand & cement laid, we provide clear, practical guidance on drying times, ventilation, surface protection and moisture testing. Our aftercare service includes:

Drying schedules: Tailored advice for liquid screed (typically 1 day per mm for the first 40mm, then 2 days per mm thereafter) and sand & cement screed (28-day cure minimum)
Ventilation protocols: When and how to introduce air movement to prevent surface carbonation and crazing
Surface protection: Guidance on when foot traffic, trades and final finishes can safely be introduced
Moisture testing: Hygrometer and carbide testing to confirm readiness for vinyl, timber, resin or tile finishes
Cleaning & maintenance: Safe methods to remove splashes, dust and residue without damaging the screed surface

Screed Aftercare FAQs – Norwich

How long before I can walk on liquid screed?

Typically 24–48 hours for light foot traffic, depending on depth and ambient conditions. We provide specific guidance based on your project and screed type.

When can I turn on underfloor heating?

Liquid screed usually requires a minimum drying period (often 7 days at 65mm depth) before commissioning UFH. We provide a tailored commissioning schedule to avoid thermal shock and cracking.

Do you offer moisture testing before final finishes?

Yes. We can arrange hygrometer or carbide testing to confirm moisture levels are within tolerance for your chosen floor finish—essential for vinyl, engineered timber and resin coatings.

What if my screed develops surface cracks or dust?

Contact us immediately. Minor crazing is often cosmetic and related to drying conditions, but we’ll assess the cause and recommend remedial action if needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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%

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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
