Screed and subfloor moisture testing

Screed moisture can affect the suitability of a subfloor for installation. Testing provides evidence of the conditions rather than relying on an assumed drying time.
  • New screed not fully dry
  • No or failed damp proof membrane
  • Leaks from pipes or heating
  • Rising damp in older buildings

What we do

We test with calibrated instruments using the recognised method, record the results and confirm whether the subfloor is ready, or what needs to happen first.

We cover the whole UK: London, South East, Midlands, North West, Yorkshire, North East, South West, East of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a screed take to dry?
It varies widely with thickness, type and conditions, which is why testing rather than guessing matters.
Can you test before the floor is ordered?
Yes. That is the ideal time.
