Open-plan extensions and new homes across Bletchley
Knocking a kitchen and dining room into one, then adding an extension, leaves a floor with three different histories. Pumped screed ties them together. Once the old floor is taken down to a common level and insulation goes in, a single pour covers the whole space, reaching SR1 or SR2 flatness readily and shrinking so little that few joints are needed.
Newer houses suit it as well. Some 26% of Bletchley's homes were built since 2000, and an insulated ground floor of that era gives a pumped screed a ready base to float on. A new extension built to current standards is the same, with its insulation down before the pour.
Then there are the flats, 18% of all Bletchley homes. For an upper floor, the hose runs up the stairs and nothing heavy is carried by hand.
Depth helps as well. Laid floating in a house, the pumped layer can start at about 35mm where sand and cement needs about 65mm, and in a knock-through that thinner layer makes it simpler to meet the hall floor at the same height. Both calcium sulphate and cement based mixes are available. The anhydrite screed specification page explains the calcium sulphate side, grades included. Either way, the edge strip round the room lets the floor move slightly as it dries, and the thresholds are dammed so the screed stays where it should.
Pump access on Bletchley streets and stairwells
Plan where the pump will stand before booking the pour. On an estate house with a drive it sits by the front door. In a terrace or on a street with permit parking, it may have to go on the road, and the hose then runs through the house to the back room. For a flat, check how the hose can reach the landing and whether the managing agent wants notice.
By pour day the walls need edge strip, the insulation needs a membrane with its joints taped, and every threshold needs a dam. Where a large area or awkward route needs a dedicated pump, our screed pumping service covers it.
Drying follows the pour. You can step on it carefully a day or two later, yet nothing should be laid on it until it has been tested. Before booking the flooring, count on roughly a day of drying per millimetre of depth up to 40mm.
