MortarThePoint Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Is anyone else buying their screed at the moment? I'm typically being quoted about £350/m3+VAT installed based on 11m3 for Annydrite liquid screed, does that sound market rate? Not normally part of my daily shop, so less confident than some of the other commodity items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The companies I am talking to (nationwide, I'm near Cambridge) have an things along the lines of 'Initial charge 2m3' of £1200 and then a per m3 price on top. Are you using a small independent contractor? That price is remarkably good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Newport Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 They're not a national company, but not a one man band either. It's https://www.swconcretepumping.co.uk/. Their managing director still answers the phone a lot, so I'd say they're not a massive company! They've never mentioned a minimum price, but that being said, I had 1m3 off for them for another floor last year, and that was getting close to £900, so there's some form of volume discount going on there. You get charged for how much wasted space there is in the truck apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Newport Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Oops! Sorry - yes, per m3 prices! That's what I typed in my head, but yep, per m3 is missing from my first post... £444+vat per m3 for 2.8m3, and it was around £900 all in for a 1m3 floor last year.

I’ve moved over to the cement based, too many problems with annydrite and floor coverings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's interesting, I didn't know there were issues with annhydrite and floor coverings? Is that the laitance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t recall what I pay him without checking some invoices- but he’s good and reasonable. the Laitence requires loads of prep and most tilers I know won’t touch it now, Even with the decoupling Matt etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he do the cement based for you too? Which one do you normally go with, still liquid? If you'd be happy to pass on contact details of your Screeder that would be great (PM welcome) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
