Where pumped screed earns its place in Biggleswade
With liquid screed, the mix comes to site ready to go and travels by hose onto the slab or insulation boards. Because the mix levels itself, SR1 or SR2 flatness is well within reach, and even a big floor is done in one visit. It shrinks little as it cures, which keeps joints to a minimum compared with sand and cement.
In Biggleswade those strengths line up with the newer housing. Around King's Reach, a kitchen extension or a garden room gives the screed room to flow, and it closes fully round heating pipes with no voids. Flats are another good fit. They make up 13% of the town's homes, and an upper-floor flat is often easier to pump into than to barrow into, because one hose goes up the stairwell in place of dozens of loads carried by hand.
Thickness is set by whatever the screed sits on. Over insulation, a floating liquid screed in a house starts from about 35mm, rising to 45 to 50mm where it has to give at least 25mm of cover over heating pipes. There are cement based liquid screeds as well as calcium sulphate ones, and we pick between them by room and by the flooring going on top. Where your plans specify a particular calcium sulphate grade, the page on anhydrite flow screed for Biggleswade deals with it. For heated floors, the screed over heating pipes page covers cover depths and commissioning.
Getting the pump to the room in Biggleswade
On the day, our mixer and pump sit outside the house and a hose carries the screed in. Where a newer house has its own drive, there is little to sort out. Where parking is on the street, a space may need holding for the morning of the pour, and a terraced house with no side access means the hose goes through the front door and hallway, which is protected as we go. Upper floors are reached up the stairs or through a window. Wherever the house is, from the High Street to Shortmead Street, tell us where the pump could park when you ask for a price.
Ahead of the pour, the room needs closing in against the weather, with membrane and edge strip fitted and a dam across each doorway to hold the screed in. Once it is down, leave windows and doors shut for a day or two, then open up so the floor can dry out. You can usually walk on it after 24 to 48 hours, though the floor covering has to wait until it is properly dry, and that varies with depth and screed type, as our guide to screed drying times explains.
Our pumps are not for hire. They come with our crew as part of the pour, and the screed pumping page shows the kit and how it is set up.
