The condition & quality of the Substrate (existing floor / wall) onto which Screed Flooring SA products are applied to and all the repairs and work thereto, is solely the responsibility of the Client.
The final successful result of any Screed Flooring SA Colour Cement Floor or Wall entirely depends upon the condition and quality of the Substrate onto which Screed Flooring SA Products are applied to. A Substandard Substrate may cause, amongst others, unsightly cracks and discolouration to the final product.
Screed Flooring SA Floor and Wall Applications will ONLY be done provided the existing concrete base / screed / plaster is without any defects / cracks – Client needs to ensure all is fixed, repaired, prepared and cleaned prior to commencement.

If the Client fails to pay in full according to our payment structures and procedures as per our Terms & Conditions (contract), or does not settle account in full, Screed Flooring SA will be obliged to take further legal action.
SUBSTRATES (Existing Floor or Wall Prior to Screed Flooring SA Flooring / Wall application):
Screed Flooring SA will not cast over paint, loose / cracked / hollow tiles, brick paving or any other form of floor / wall covering.
Screed Flooring SA will only cast on a sound concrete base, cement screed, plaster or cementitious base, cured and dried for at least 2 (two) weeks and approved by Screed Flooring SA.
Screed Flooring SA will not cast any floor application to the edge of any type of pool. We shall only work up to a coping stone, 300+ mm from the edge of such pool.
For Self-levelling & Colour Floor Plaster Applications (3 – 6mm thick), ideally the Substrate should be a sound, hard, clean, well cured concrete slab power floated to a smooth finish or a 30 mm cement screed, at least 3 weeks old struck off to level and wood floated.
- The Substrate must be free from paint, dust, oil, glue, tar, old loose cement or any other contamination that could prevent the proper bonding of Screed Flooring SA Products to the Substrate.
- The Substrate must be free from paint, oil, glue, tar or any other contaminated blemishes.
Glue not removed from the Substrate will create distinct yellow marks on the Self-levelling / Colour Floor Plaster application.
Paint, oil, tar and other blemishes not removed from the Substrate will cause discoloured marks on the Self-levelling / Colour Floor Plaster application.
- Discolouration marks and blemishes on the Self-levelling / Colour Floor Plaster application may go away in time, but under no circumstances can Screed Flooring SA be held liable for the appearing, reappearing or the probable disappearing of these discoloration marks.
- Never cast a 3 – 6 mm Self-levelling / Colour Floor Plaster application over underfloor heating as the lines of the cords and matting will clearly be visible through the Self-levelling / Colour Floor Plaster floors. A Self-levelling or Floor Plaster Floor Repair MUST be applied over the underfloor heating first to evenly cover / hide any lines and patterns of the cords and matting.
For a Colour Wall Plaster Application, ideally the Substrate should be a sound, hard, clean, well-cured cement plastered wall, at least 2 (two) weeks old, which has been wood floated. The Substrate must be free from paint, dust, oil, glue, tar, old loose cement or any other contamination that could prevent the proper bonding of Screed Flooring SA Products to the Substrate.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING FOR SCREED FLOORING SA APPLICATIONS:
Although we use the best quality raw materials sourced from various suppliers, small concentrated mottle patterns and coloured spots (mostly brown) may appear. This is due to the combination of a variety of natural raw materials rarely consistent in colour & texture, natural powders & chemicals, natural cement-based products and of course natural Malmesbury sand used to produce our products for the application of Screed Flooring SA Colour Cement Floors & Walls.
All the aforementioned combinations of natural ingredients produce beautiful mottled floor and wall applications with a sometimes raw, rough and rustic texture, ensuring a sophisticated finish.
Although Screed Flooring SA will do its utmost, we cannot guarantee uniformity and consistency in terms of colour and texture in any of our natural Colour Cement Products / Applications.
Due to the different manufacturing & application processes; our applicators natural hand control, pressure and movement; dates, batches and combination of all the various inconsistent natural raw materials used to produce Screed Flooring SA Colour Cement Products, we cannot guarantee or take responsibility for any natural colour, natural mottleness (also referred to as Mottling) or textured differences, especially when a colour is selected from the Screed Flooring SA sample boards and applied to different substrates of various qualities and hues.

- For curing and drying purposes of the filler, floor area where filled must NOT be washed for at least 7 (seven) days after application of the filler.

3. Screed Flooring SA will work as neatly as possible in all areas and around items that cannot be removed.
4. It is up to the Client to decide whether he / she would like skirtings to be removed prior to our flooring application or if he / she would like the skirtings to remain. The work involved with removing skirtings can be added to the Quotation under Prep work. Please note that removal of skirtings will form part of rubble on site and will not be re-useable. New skirtings will need to be fitted by a carpenter / contractor of the Clients choice and will be for the account of the client.
5. If the client would like the skirtings to remain, the client will need to take in consideration that the flooring application will be applied up against the skirting and that it will form part of edges as stated in the next point below.
6. It is impossible to clean entirely around edges due to the application process of floors and walls, neither is masking tape successful due to the moisture content in Screed Flooring SA applications.
