Extensions around Gossoms End and Bridgewater Road
The homes around Gossoms End, Swing Gate Lane and Bridgewater Road date from the years after the First World War and the 1930s, and they are well suited to a rear extension or a knocked-through kitchen and dining room. That kind of wide, open space is where liquid screed makes most sense. Left to flow, it settles into a flat floor that can meet SR1 or SR2 without fuss, and its low shrinkage means far fewer joints than a trowelled floor.
Flats are 20% of Berkhamsted's homes. For a first-floor flat, running a hose up the staircase spares anyone hauling tonnes of sand and cement up in bags.
Then there is newer building. Homes built since 2000 account for 18% of Berkhamsted, and on a new ground floor the insulation, membrane and screed depth can all be planned together before the pour.
Pumped over insulation, the screed needs only about 35mm of depth in a house, or about 40mm in a commercial building. Keeping the floor thin helps an extension meet the old house at the same level.
You can have a flowing screed based on cement or on calcium sulphate; the room and the floor finish decide between them. The calcium sulphate kind has a Berkhamsted anhydrite page of its own. For the wider decision, see how liquid and sand and cement screed compare.
Pump access from Berkhamsted's roads
Everything on the day depends on where the lorry can stand. Our mixer and pump never come indoors; a hose links them to the room through the house. If you have a drive, there is little to arrange. Off the High Street, or on a road with permit parking, we need to know in advance so the right spot can be arranged.
The hose can travel through a hallway, round corners and up to upper floors, as long as the route is clear. Inside, three jobs come first: perimeter strip run round the walls, the membrane spread over the insulation and taped at every overlap, and a stop at each doorway to hold the pour. Given the river and canal running through the valley, that membrane deserves extra care on any ground floor.
The kit is described on our screed pumping page. After a wait of between 24 and 48 hours it will take careful foot traffic. Flooring is another matter: count on drying going at about a millimetre a day until the depth passes 40mm. If you are over in Tring, see pumped screed for Tring homes.
