Pumped screed on Finberry, Repton Park and Chilmington Green plots
New build homes on Ashford's growing estates are usually designed with insulated ground floors and underfloor heating pipes, and the screed goes in plot by plot once each house is weathertight. A pumped liquid screed fits that programme. It flows out to a level surface across a whole floor, reaches SR1 or SR2 flatness readily, and wraps round every heating pipe with no voids.
Builders on these estates also like how quickly it goes in. One pump can cover a large floor in a single visit, and light foot traffic can follow within 24 to 48 hours, so following trades are not held up for long. Its low shrinkage means a plot floor needs fewer joints than one compacted by hand.
Depth is lower too. Floating on insulation, it can be about 35mm thick in a house and about 40mm on commercial floors; the sand and cement equivalents are 65mm and 75mm. On a two-storey plot, that saving is a real reduction in weight on the upper floor.
Flats account for 17% of Ashford's homes, and an upper floor is easy to reach with a hose run up the stairwell. Flowing screeds are made with either a cement or a calcium sulphate binder. If a plot drawing quotes a CA grade, see CA graded anhydrite screed in Ashford for what it means. For the two main methods compared, see liquid versus sand and cement screed.
Liquid screed for extensions in established Ashford
Liquid screed is not only for new estates. In Willesborough and South Ashford, extending a semi into a larger kitchen and family room is common, and a single open floor like that is well suited to a pumped screed. It meets the old floor level neatly and needs few joints across a wide room.
Access is the practical question. We set the pump and mixer up outside, on the drive if there is one, and bring the hose in by the closest door. On a street without off-road parking, let us know about restrictions and where a mixer could stand when you ask for a price.
Ahead of pouring, the room wants edge strip at the walls, a membrane over the insulation with taped joints, and a dam at each doorway; if you need them, these come through our insulation and membrane supply. A floor you can walk on is still a long way from dry. Drying takes roughly one day per mm until you reach 40mm, and deeper floors take longer still before most coverings can go on, as our screed drying guide explains.
