Floor screed in an apartment is the most critical stage of the first-fix works. It decides how the finish will sit and whether you end up with a problem with the neighbours below. Semi-dry machine-applied screed suits apartments perfectly: the minimal water in the mix makes leaks impossible, and pumping the mortar keeps the job fast and clean.
We work in new-builds and older housing stock right across Kyiv. The optimal screed thickness in an apartment is 50–70 mm. Where the floor slab runs badly out of level, we add reinforcing mesh or fibre to hold cracking in check. The mortar is delivered by a pneumatic pump Brinkmann and Putzmeister straight from the street — no mess in the apartment or the stairwell.
Timescale: a crew of four screeds a two-room apartment (50–60 m²) in a single working day. After 24 hours the screed can be walked on carefully so other trades can carry on. Tiles and porcelain stoneware go down from day 7–14; laminate after a residual moisture check (≤2%), roughly from day 21. Full design strength is reached at 28 days, and drying time under moisture-sensitive finishes depends on thickness and conditions in the room.
Getting ready for the job: we bring the equipment and materials on the day of the pour. You need to provide access to water and 380 V power for the pump — or agree with us in advance to use our diesel compressor instead. Furniture does not have to be moved out; we only work on the floor.
Screed in an apartment starts from UAH 800/m² for grade M100 with no extras. For apartments with underfloor heating or awkward geometry the price can reach UAH 900–1,100/m². To get an exact figure for your apartment, use our calculator or book a free site survey.
