What is Self-Leveling Cementing?
Unlike traditional thick cement screed which must be manually leveled and troweled by hand, self-leveling cement is an advanced, polymer-modified compound with high-fluidity characteristics.
When poured, it behaves like a liquid, spreading rapidly across the room to naturally fill up low spots, hollow dips, and deep pits under the natural pull of gravity. The result is a perfectly flat, smooth-as-glass surface that traditional manual skimming simply cannot match.

Why Self-Leveling is Crucial Before Flooring
01
Prevents Click-Lock Failure: Floating vinyl planks require a flat surface. Dips in the subfloor cause planks to bounce when stepped on, eventually breaking the delicate interlocking click joints.
02
Eliminates Hollow Sounds: Fills the air gaps beneath the flooring, eliminating annoying hollow clicking or squeaking noises when you walk.
03
Saves Money on Adhesive: For glue-down vinyl or parquet, a perfectly smooth floor requires significantly less glue and guarantees an unbreakable bond.
Frequently asked questions
1. What exactly is self-leveling cement, and how does it differ from normal cement?
Traditional cement screed is a thick, dry sand-cement mixture that must be manually troweled, smoothed, and sloped by hand. Self-leveling cement is an advanced, polymer-modified liquid compound. When poured, it behaves almost like water, naturally flowing into low spots, filling dips, and using gravity to create an ultra-flat, mirror-smooth surface that manual smoothing simply cannot replicate.
2. How do I know if my flat or office actually needs self-leveling cementing?
If your raw concrete subfloor has waves, minor dips, ridges, or an unevenness greater than 3mm across a 2-meter radius, self-leveling is highly recommended. You can usually tell if you need it if your current floor has noticeable high and low spots, or if your existing click-lock vinyl planks bounce, squeak, or feel hollow when you walk on them.
3. Can self-leveling cement fix major sloping issues or change floor heights?
No. Self-leveling cement is designed as a thin-coat underlayment (typically applied between 2mm to 10mm thick) to eliminate surface unevenness and rough textures. It follows the natural slope of the structural slab. If you need to raise a room's floor level by several centimeters, correct massive structural drops, or create a drainage slope in a balcony or bathroom, you will need our heavy-duty Cement Screeding Service instead.
4. How long does it take to dry, and when can my new flooring be installed?
One of the greatest benefits of modern self-leveling cement is its rapid curing time. It is usually firm enough to walk on within 4 to 6 hours after pouring. However, before laying down moisture-sensitive materials like luxury vinyl planks, engineered wood, or parquet, we strictly let the compound cure for 24 hours to ensure all structural moisture has evaporated safely.
5. Is the self-leveling process dusty or smelly? Will it affect my neighbors?
The mixing and pouring processes are completely liquid, meaning there is zero airborne dust generated while the cement is going down. We do all heavy mechanical grinding beforehand using industrial dust-extraction vacuums to keep dust to an absolute minimum. The polymer mixtures we use are low-odor and non-toxic, making them completely safe for HDB blocks and occupied commercial buildings. For Commercial Spaces (Offices, Retail, Gyms): Due to high foot traffic and outdoor grit being tracked in daily, we recommend a maintenance schedule of every 3 to 6 months to protect your corporate investment.
