Magniste screeded over

Hi all

Looking for some advide 5 months ago i had LVT fitted in my living room. Comapany said floor was ok to layed on as long as it was screeded twice. Now the screed has blown so i called the company to repair the floor. The fitter (diffrent from first time) removes broken screed but says we have magniste floors which shouldnt have been screeded over.


What can i do? Is this my fault or the fitter/company? The company said they will fix it with extra charge. But isnt the screed constantly going to blow if the magniste floor cant breathe.

 

Extra charge to you??

It'll keep blowing if they dig it out!!!

 

*if they don't dig it out

 

You were lucky to get 5 months before it blew. The ones I’ve seen go much quicker

 

All gotta come out. Nothing bonds to it. Better off with a floated laminate floor, engineered wood or carpet.

is it red or green? If so it’s a pretty good warning sign not to screed over and attempt to install LVT

 

Magnesite subfloors should really be removed and a new screed put down. Check it hasn’t got asbestos in first.

 

It’s the company’s fault. They shouldn’t of screeded over it
