Screeding over a repair

[Nick1c]

Having had a puncture in a pipe repaired does the system need to be off while the screed over the repair cures? Unfortunately no matching tiles are available so the plan is to put in screed to the original level, let it harden & then either fill it up to floor level with another layer of sand & cement with fibre or patch with different tiles. 
 

The whole thing is complicated by the fact that the repair is under a stairlift which is in daily use & needs to be removed for this to happen. The ideal would be the stairlift being removed 1st thing, the area made good during the day & the lift going back on before night. Is this feasible & does the screed need to be cool to avoid cracking? If it does it may be best to delay the job until spring when the heating can be off for a few days.

Is it UFH? Can you just turm off that loop or Rad?

Look for a patching compound, the sort of stuff that comes in a bucket for you to mix

will probably consist of powder and a liquid additive. 

Have a look for stuff you can use on a factory floor that can receive traffic the same day.

These guys seem pretty good. And significantly cheaper than the likes of watco. Been using their floor paint. Seems top quality. (ive used a few............)
