Rendering & screeding in Cloonfad, Ballyhaunis & Co. Roscommon
Rendering and screeding address different parts of a building, but both depend on a suitable background and careful preparation. PJ Morrison can discuss external wall finishes and floor screeding as part of your building or refurbishment plans.
Rendering work begins with the condition of the external wall. The existing background, exposure and proposed finish influence the preparation and materials needed. Any defects or moisture concerns should be identified before a new finish is applied.
For screeding, floor levels, the base and the intended final floor covering need to be considered together. If other elements such as insulation or heating are involved, the details and sequence must be agreed before the floor is laid.
Weather can affect external work, while curing and drying affect both render and screed. The programme should allow for the chosen system and site conditions instead of relying on a fixed timetable.

Before we begin
Your questions.
Can rendering cover cracks or damp?
The cause should be assessed first. A new finish is not a substitute for addressing movement, water ingress or an unsuitable background.
When can the final floor covering be fitted?
This depends on the screed, thickness, conditions and flooring system. Drying and moisture requirements should be checked before the floor covering is installed.
