How Much Does Screed Cost?

Price is something that many clients search on the internet for, but generally won’t find it.  It can be quite difficult to just give an instant quotation, because there are various factors that come into play when trying to find out how much does screed cost such as:
• location, material costs vary around the UK
• the depth of the screed
• the drying and trafficking times of the screed
• actual size of the project, because it may involve part load delivery charges for materials.
• A screed team can lay a certain amount of screed within a day so.  If you’re maximizing the laying capacity of the team then, costs are going to come down.

There’s a few factors to consider, but of course you need a ballpark figure for your planning.   Something that can be used for budgeting.
