Force Dry Programme
Our patented 21-day force drying system accelerates screed drying by 75% compared to natural methods. Using electric boilers, industrial dehumidifiers, and air-moving fans, we create controlled conditions that ensure full compliance with British Standards. This process eliminates moisture-related floor failures while working independently of first or second-fix plumbing.
Screed Testing
As the UK's leading independent screed testing company, we use surface and invasive testing methods to measure relative humidity levels. Our thermal imaging service maps underfloor heating pipework, providing critical data to prevent costly floor failures. Test results come with tailored action plans to resolve moisture issues.
Rental Products
We offer high-specification equipment hire including portable electric boilers, industrial dehumidifiers, heavy-duty fans, and space heaters. Our mobile, wheel-mounted units operate on limited power without requiring plumbing connections. These versatile systems create optimal working conditions for trades and protect materials from damp conditions.
Commissioning & Conditioning
Our specialist equipment gradually heats and cools screed to prevent thermal shock. This process minimises cracking, curling, and de-bonding risks while meeting BS8204-7 standards. We provide full documentation to validate flooring warranties and include this as part of our comprehensive quality assurance programme.
Temporary Heat Solutions
Our three-component system maintains consistent temperatures and humidity levels on construction sites. Using electric boilers, dehumidifiers, and fans, we protect materials and equipment from cold weather damage. This enables year-round operation and early commissioning of underfloor heating systems without requiring central power infrastructure.

Questions
How does ForceDry's 21-day drying programme work?
Our three-component system uses electric boilers to heat screed, dehumidifiers to extract moisture, and industrial fans to circulate air. This controlled process achieves full drying in 21 days regardless of seasonal conditions.
Why is professional screed testing necessary?
Testing prevents costly floor failures by measuring moisture levels before installation. Our surface and invasive tests ensure compliance with British Standards and manufacturer requirements for underfloor heating systems.
Can ForceDry equipment operate without plumbing?
Yes, our portable electric boilers and dehumidifiers work independently of first or second-fix plumbing. This allows immediate drying commencement and operation in unfinished buildings.
What accreditations does ForceDry hold?
We maintain Constructionline Gold accreditation, CHAS certification, and membership in the Flowing Screeds Association and Supply Chain Sustainability School for health, safety, and environmental compliance.
How does ForceDry handle winter construction challenges?
Our temporary heating systems create ambient working conditions and protect materials from cold weather damage. Equipment operates effectively even when external temperatures drop below freezing point.
