Screeding & Paving Melbourne
Perfect tiling and paving start with a level, stable base. Tiling Plus provides floor screeding and paving preparation in Melbourne for homes, businesses and outdoor areas.
Why Screeding and Paving Preparation Matter
Screeding is the process of laying a level layer of screed, commonly a sand and cement mix, over a floor or slab. It gives the flooring a uniform height and a smooth surface, which makes it ready for tiling.
In most cases, screeding and paving preparation is the first step, or the foundation, of a good tiling or paving job. A flat, stable base helps tiles and pavers sit evenly and stay secure, so perfect screeding is a prelude to perfect tiling.
Tiling Plus has experts with years of screeding experience. They use the latest tools and techniques to deliver the finest results and lay the foundation for a lasting finish.

Screeding prepares the surface. It levels a floor or slab, or creates falls, so that tiles or pavers can be laid properly.
Paving is the finished outdoor surface itself, such as a driveway, patio, garden path or courtyard. If you need the finished paved surface, visit our paving services page. If you need a level base before tiling, or before waterproofing and tiling a wet area, screeding is where to start.

Screeding
The screed is laid and levelled, or shaped to falls where drainage is needed.
Ready for Tiling or Paving
Once the screed is ready, tiling or paving can begin. Drying time depends on the screed and its thickness.
Getting the Sequence Right: Screed, Waterproof, Tile
In wet areas, the usual order is screed to falls, then a waterproofing membrane, then tiles. Planning these stages together avoids delays and helps protect the finished surface. See our waterproofing and residential tiling services.
Tell us what is going on top of the screed, whether tiles, stone or pavers, so we can prepare the right surface for the job.

Screeding & Paving Melbourne: FAQs
Answers to common questions about screeding, levelling and base preparation.
What is floor screeding?
Floor screeding is the process of laying a level layer of screed, commonly a sand and cement mix, over a floor or slab to create an even, smooth surface.
Why do I need screeding before tiling?
Screeding gives the floor a uniform height and a smooth, stable surface. Tiles lay evenly and stay secure on a level base, which is why screeding is considered the foundation of a good tiling job.
Can you level an uneven floor before tiling?
Screeding can correct many uneven floors. We assess the floor and advise on what is needed before tiling.
What does screeding to falls mean?
Screeding to falls means shaping the screed so that water runs towards a drain. It is common in showers, balconies and outdoor areas.
How long before I can tile over new screed?
Drying and curing time depends on the type and thickness of the screed and the conditions on site. We will advise on timing for your project.
What is the difference between screeding and paving?
Screeding prepares and levels the base. Paving is the finished outdoor surface, such as a driveway or patio. We prepare the base and also offer paving services for the finished surface.
How much does screeding cost in Melbourne?
The cost depends on the area, the thickness of the screed, access and the condition of the surface. Call or write to us for a free quote.
