Brackley floors that suit a pumped screed
Big, open floors are where a pumped screed pays for itself. It flows across the room and around any obstruction, sets with low shrinkage, needs far fewer joints than a hand-laid floor, and readily reaches SR1 or SR2 regularity. LVT, big tiles and engineered boards all ask for that sort of flat base. In Brackley that points first to the new build. A new-build ground floor laid over insulation can usually be poured in one visit, and where it carries underfloor heating, liquid screed surrounds the pipes with no voids. The second fit is the extension. Many of the town's 1970s to 1990s detached houses are now due for single storey extensions and orangeries. A pumped screed over insulation gives a flat, dense floor that can be set to finish flush with the existing slab. Flats account for about 11% of Brackley's homes, and liquid screed also suits upper floors, where a pump line up the stairs replaces a long carry of heavy materials. The membrane and edge strip must be sealed so nothing leaks to the floor below. Floating on insulation, a house floor in liquid screed starts at around 35mm, and a commercial one at 40mm. The binder can be calcium sulphate or cement, and which one goes in comes down to the room and the flooring that follows. Read liquid screed versus sand and cement for the trade-offs between the two.
Pump reach and drying on a Brackley extension
Every pumped floor begins out on the road. We bring the lorry and pump in as near as we can and run the hose from there to the room. Where a detached house has a drive, that part is easy. For a rear extension with no side access, the hose goes through the house, with the floors protected along the route. The extension must be ready on the day. Insulation and edge strip are laid, a membrane goes over them with taped joints so the liquid stays on top, and any heating pipes are fixed and pressure tested. Levels are set against the existing floor so the new one finishes flush. Careful walking on it is fine 24 to 48 hours after the pour. Flooring waits longer. Expect about 1 day per mm up to 40mm and slower after that, and take a hygrometer reading before anything moisture-sensitive goes down.
