screed over safety

i know its a definate no no but has anyone screeded over stuck down safety?
the guy a subbie to has seen a demonstration of the ardex na at the harrogate show and theyve told him it can go over anything
basically he wants me to do it because theres no money in the job to uplift and the customer wants it flat.

 

I've screeded over with all sorts of screed over the years. Feather finish mostly.
Then used f44 to glue it letting it go off a bit.
Not right but has to be done as cutbacks. And council won't pay for the full job.

 

i were thinking it mightnt crack when it dries, i will probably be doing the job so i will see how it goes, cheers for the info

 

ive already tried it over ply it cracked slightly in some areas but havent had any problems so far

 

chuck a bag of fibre glass strands in with it (floorskills tip), can get a 1kg bag for a fiver, then it will hold up over ply, id sooner use 1200 pro over na though.

 

Haha beat me to it !! Done it mostly on council jobs too. Typical Tories.".....

 

Yeah, what thickness plywood tho. Ultra were advertising one theirs was good for over ply..... As long as it 18mm.

 

Ultra make a flexi now.

 

Ive screeded over plenty of safety flooring.
The housing group dont want to pay so one of the firms I subby to do this. If its loose then of course it gets ripped up (at a cost) but when its flat as fook then the screed goes straight over the top. Kitchens/downstairs bathrooms.

They know the score, disclaimers signed and all that and as long as my invoice gets paid....

 

I would let the job go.....

 

i do all of there safety and lvt they are normally spot on with everthing but its this job theyve asked me to do like this, a one off is fine but if it gets to being all the time then you jack it.

 

If they ask you once as a one off and you do it they'll ask you to do it again.

 

Just do it! As long as they know the deal
Just as long as you get them to understand its out of your hands if any comebacks.
Ive not had one failed yet and done it for the same company many times, as I said before if its curling up then i refuse to do it but if its flat then its primed then screeded. At the end of the day they are giving me a job sheet with the instructions on it, I follow the exact instruction and thats it!

 

I thought the pro's didn't cut corners !! :beer

 

Everyone cuts corners, ive not met 1 fitter who hasnt of some sort...

 

What is subfloor on this job?

 

Problem is with that if it does go wrong whether you had a job sheet or not, if it went to court and you knew it shouldn't be done that way it'll come down on you not the company. That happened to my mate who was told to just get it fitted, so he did even though he told them it shouldn't be done that way. It went wrong, ended up going to court, came back on him and he had to pay for it to be replaced.
