Floor Screeding Services in Melbourne
Your concrete floor is the foundation of your space. From residential renovations to commercial projects, we deliver smooth, level, professional-grade finishes that last.
What is Floor Screeding and Why it Matters?
Floor screeding is the process of applying a mixture of sand and cement or a self-levelling screed compound over a concrete slab to create a smooth, level, and durable surface ready for tiles, polished concrete, epoxy, vinyl, timber, or other floor finishes. A properly screeded floor isn’t just about looks, it’s essential for functionality. Uneven floors create many problems: water pooling in low spots, cracked tiles, uneven wear on flooring materials, and safety hazards. Professional screeding eliminates these issues before they start.
A level floor is the foundation of any quality flooring project. Without proper screeding, you can end up with uneven tiles, lippage, water pooling, moisture damage, mould, and premature wear. Professional floor screeding creates a smooth, durable surface that supports proper drainage, improves safety, and protects your investment in tiles, polished concrete, epoxy, and other floor finishes for years to come.
Our Expertise
Our Floor Screeding Services in Melbourne for Your Projects
We offer three main floor screeding solutions to suit different project types and budgets. Our team recommends the best option for your needs. We deliver professional screeding services across Melbourne for residential, commercial, and industrial projects of all sizes.
Self-Levelling Screed
Self-levelling screed is a modern solution that flows like thick honey across your concrete base, naturally settling to the correct level without manual finishing. It’s ideal for large areas, complex layouts, and projects where precision and speed matter. The material sets quickly, minimising project delays. We use premium self-levelling compounds that cure to a hard, durable finish suitable for tiles, polished concrete, or epoxy applications. This method is popular for renovations where time is limited.
Traditional Screed Finish
Traditional hand-screeded finishes involve skilled tradespeople using trowels to level and finish concrete by hand. This method works beautifully for smaller projects and custom finishes. Our experienced team creates perfectly smooth, trowel-finished surfaces that are ready for any flooring material. Traditional screeding also offers cost savings for smaller areas and gives us flexibility to adjust finishes on-site. It’s proven, reliable, and results in finishes that’ll outlast decades of foot traffic.
Decorative Polished Concrete
Want to make your floor a design feature? Polished concrete transforms industrial-looking concrete into a sleek, modern finish that’s both beautiful and practical. We apply screeding, then progressively polish the surface to a satin or high-gloss shine. Polished concrete is stain-resistant, easy to clean, and works beautifully in contemporary homes, modern offices, and retail spaces. It’s durable enough for high-traffic commercial areas yet sophisticated enough for luxury residential projects.

How We Work
Our Floor Screeding Process
Understanding the process gives you confidence in what to expect. Our four-step approach ensures quality and consistency on every project.
01.
Site Inspection & Assessment
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing concrete slab. We check for cracks, moisture issues, uneven sections, and structural concerns. We measure slope requirements (for drainage) and identify any areas that need repair before screeding.
02.
Surface Preparation
Proper prep is non-negotiable. We clean the concrete slab thoroughly, removing dust, debris, and any contaminants. We repair cracks and holes, and apply a bonding agent to help the screed adhere properly. We establish temporary levelling guides to ensure the final finish is perfectly level.
03.
Screed Application
We then apply the chosen screeding material. For self-levelling screed, we pour the compound and let it spread evenly across the floor. For traditional screed, our experienced team carefully levels and smooths the surface by trowelling, making sure the finish is even and free from any imperfections.
04.
Curing & Finishing
After application, the screed needs time to cure and harden. We control curing conditions carefully. Depending on material type, curing can take 24 hours to 7 days. Once cured, we perform final inspections and any light finishing work.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does floor screeding take?
Timeline depends on project size and material type. Small residential areas (50–100 m²) typically take 1–2 days for application, plus 3–7 days curing time. Larger commercial projects may take longer. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your site visit.
How much does floor screeding cost?
Cost varies by area size, condition of existing concrete, material choice, and accessibility. As a ballpark, expect $20–50 per square metre for professional screeding. We provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden costs. Call for a free estimate.
What's the difference between self-levelling and traditional screed?
Self-levelling screed flows automatically to level and cures faster. It is ideal for large areas and tight timelines. Traditional screed requires skilled hand-trowelling, better for custom finishes and smaller projects. Both produce excellent results. It's about what suits your project.
Do you fix cracked or damaged concrete before screeding?
Absolutely. We assess and repair all issues before screeding. Cracks, spalling, and structural damage are addressed first. This ensures your new floor has a solid, stable foundation.
Is screeding waterproof?
Screeding creates a sealed, durable surface, but it's not a waterproofing membrane. For wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens, balconies), we recommend additional waterproofing. We'll advise on best practice for your space.
What finish options are available?
You can choose a trowelled smooth finish (ready for tiles, epoxy, or paint), a fine-broom finish (texture for slip resistance), or polished concrete (glossy, modern aesthetic). We'll discuss options during consultation.
