Delivery: choosing the right method.

We can advise on the best screed delivery method - either tipper, bulk bags, skips or by mixer for flowing screed - based on your individual circumstances. We can establish this with a site visit and discussion with you. It may even be that methods are combined or changed at different stages to suit the nature of the site at the time.

Meeting your standards. We set unusually high standards for our customer service, as well as for our products and technical expertise.
These standards are constantly measured through structured customer surveys and informal feedback. We also try to discover how Tarmac can improve its service to you and we undertake various initiatives, such as our current 'Customer First' programme, to this end. And if your standards are not met by us in any situation, we'll seek to rectify the problem immediately.

Training: all part of the service.

As the market leader in screeds, we take our responsibility to set standards very seriously. Our training operates on several levels. We train our own staff to keep them informed about our products and services so they, in turn, can help you. Secondly, we are involved in the continuing professional development of specifiers and developers, whom we advise on many issues from the best screed for a given situation to the impact of forthcoming legislation. Finally, our total commitment to our customers means we train people to use our products, thus eliminating errors - and therefore wastage. We're always happy to take calls or visit sites in order to help a customer stay safe and efficient and you incur no additional costs for this service.

Our range of products.

Traditional Floor Screed This cement:sand levelling screed is factory-produced and correctly proportioned for flooring and roofing applications. It boasts excellent cement dispersion, giving greater and more uniform compressive strength throughout the floor area. It normally contains a retarding admixture in order to remain workable for 8-12 hours. It can be used on a number of different bases. This screed is available from factories across Great Britain. Tufscreed F Tufscreed F was developed to meet the ever-increasing demand for factory produced, cement:sand levelling screeds - of all mix proportions - that incorporate an even dispersion of polypropylene fibres. The fibres can help to achieve a more cohesive material and also help control cracking caused by intrinsic stresses. This improved toughness makes it ideal for applications such as hospitals, offices, superstores, industrial units and other applications where floor failure would have major cost and disruption implications. Truscreed and Truscreed H.D. These high performance screeds benefit from faster drying times allowing earlier trafficking of the floor. They were developed by Tarmac to meet the specific demand for factory produced, high performance cement:sand levelling screeds suitable for all common floor finishes. Easy to work with and providing a higher strength and abrasion resistant finish, these screeds can be used on various bases. Truscreed H.D. is particularly effective on floors subject to arduous service. Truscreed can also be used in sound insulation, thermal insulation and weight reduction applications. SBR Polymer Modified This factory-mixed, cement:sand levelling screeds increased toughness and bond properties are the result of the inclusion of a synthetic polymer resin. Shrinkage and cracking is minimised, permeability is reduced and flexural strength is improved. This screed can provide high performance at thinner levels when normal minimum thickness cannot be achieved. Stabilised Sand Available in a wide range of mix proportions, stabilised sand is ideal for bedding and infill applications, including protection of cables and pipes, filling disused voids and bedding of paving slabs. It is particularly useful in areas prone to saturation or flooding or where the ground is unstable. Truflow Truflow represents a new generation of pumpable, self-smoothing floor screed. It is highly versatile and suitable for most commercial and domestic buildings and is ideal for use with most underfloor heating systems. It also allows a lower minimum thickness whilst maintaining excellent compressive strength. Up to 2000m2 can be laid per day on any one project.
