Floor screeding and levelling.
Floor screeding Dubai is the work nobody sees and every finished floor depends on — flat, sound, dry and laid to the right level before anything goes on top.
The layer that decides whether the finish survives
Hollow tiles, lipping planks, rocking large formats and showers that pond water all come back to the same thing: the substrate. Getting it flat, sound, dry and at the right level costs a fraction of relaying a finished floor.
We survey the existing slab, decide between a latex levelling compound and a full sand-cement screed, and set the build-up so the finished floor lands where doors, thresholds and drainage need it. In wet areas we lay to fall so water reaches the drain rather than sitting in a corner.
What screeding covers
Preparation for any finish — tile, stone, timber, vinyl or microcement.Survey and level check
Measuring deviation across the floor and setting the finished floor level against doors and thresholds.
Moisture testing
Checking residual slab moisture before moisture-sensitive finishes such as timber or vinyl.
Self-levelling compound
Latex and cement-based compounds for correcting moderate deviation quickly.
Sand-cement screed
Thicker traditional screeds where levels must be raised or falls formed.
Falls to drainage
Bathrooms, wet rooms, terraces and pool surrounds laid so water reaches the drain.
Priming and preparation
Mechanical preparation, cleaning and priming so the screed bonds properly.
Crack repair
Cutting out and repairing substrate cracks rather than levelling over them.
Build-up coordination
Allowing for underlay, adhesive and finish thickness so the final level is right.

How the work runs
Survey
Levels measured, deviation mapped and moisture tested.
Specification
Compound or screed selected and build-up confirmed against the chosen finish.
Preparation
Cleaning, mechanical keying, crack repair and priming.
Application
Screed or compound laid to level, or to fall in wet areas.
Cure and check
Cure period observed, then levels rechecked before the finish is laid.
Getting a floor laid by someone else? Have the substrate checked first — it is the cheapest insurance available.

Screeding questions.
For large-format tiles, timber and vinyl, almost always. The larger or thinner the finish, the less deviation it tolerates. Skipping it is the most common cause of floor failure here.
Levelling compounds are often walkable within hours and ready for tiling in a day or two. Thicker sand-cement screeds need considerably longer, particularly before moisture-sensitive finishes.
Levelling compounds usually add a few millimetres; a screed to correct falls or raise levels adds more. We confirm the build-up against doors and thresholds before starting.
Yes — the floor is stripped, re-screeded to fall toward the drain, re-waterproofed and retiled. Adjusting only the tiling does not solve it.
Cracks are cut out and repaired first. Levelling over a live crack simply hides it until it reappears through the finish.
