420m2 Commercial Floor Renovation and Screed London

Derelict for more than 30 years, Battersea Power Station has long captured the imagination of dreamers. From rollercoasters and waterfalls, night clubs to Tomorrowland. The power station has passed through several hands before ending up with a consortium of Malaysian investors that bought the site for £400m in 2012.

Now surrounded by hoardings and scaffolding, it lies at the heart of one of the most ambitious redevelopment schemes in Britain’s capital, with nearly 40 sites, owned by domestic and overseas developers, clustered in the surrounding 561 acres known as Nine Elms.

Major Contractor Area Sq have been redeveloping the site alongside Capital HD with Screed Works Ltd appointed for 420m2 of floor screed to the commercial renovation project in under the rail arches. Using Ardex A29, the newcomer of the Ardex Rapid Drying Rapid setting products, combined with their new ‘green’ bonding Agent Ardex A18 the site was ready to be laid on in just 24 hours.

Product used for this job

Ardex A29

Ardex A29 is a recent addition to the Ardex range of rapid drying screeds and the performance is incredible even when mixed at 1:7 ratio.

After just 8 hours the screed can take light foot traffic so it won't hold up other trades

Ceramic tiles can be laid after just 24-hours and a BRE screed test can be performed in the same timeframe.

The 90-minute working time is perfect for our installers to get the perfect finish.

"We had worked with Screed works on a job at St James Street in London, so we knew their work and that they would be a good fit for this project. It was a last minute affair and a difficult job, due to the very tight timescale and on-time logistics. Screed Works organised everything we needed. The work was of FP1 standard with the boys working quickly and efficiently. Screed Works showed their logistical management and floor screed skills once again, and we are very pleased with the results.”
