Pumping floors at Wembley Park and Alperton
Towers are where a pump makes the strongest case. Each floor plate is big and the same as the one below, the heating pipes are already clipped down, and hauling sand and cement up storey after storey would be slow and expensive. The hose lays the screed straight onto the deck, where it spreads out and levels itself.
Because it self-levels, SR1 or SR2 flatness under a 2m straightedge comes without the hand finishing a traditional screed needs. Low shrinkage keeps joints to a minimum across wide bays, and the mix closes around every heating pipe with no voids, so the heating warms up faster and runs more efficiently.
The canal-side blocks at Alperton and the towers round Wembley Park follow that pattern, and South Kilburn and the Old Oak and Park Royal area carry large housing targets as well. In Brent, 15% of homes have gone up since 2015.
The depth is modest: from about 35mm for a floating liquid screed in a home and about 40mm on a commercial floor, with at least 25mm needed above heating pipes. The binder can be calcium sulphate or cement, and the calcium sulphate version has its own grades, sanding and testing, set out on our Brent anhydrite screed page. For the pumped and traditional methods side by side, read liquid versus sand and cement screed.
Liquid screed in a Brent house or extension
Towers are not the only fit. An open-plan kitchen extension on a Kingsbury semi, or the whole ground floor of a house under renovation, is a wide area where a flowing screed earns its cost.
What needs sorting is where the pump goes. It stays outside, on the driveway or by the kerbside, with the hose taken into the house. On a controlled parking street a pump lorry cannot just sit on a yellow line, so tell us about permit bays, yellow lines or a long carry from the kerb in your enquiry.
Indoors, every wall needs edge strip, the insulation needs a membrane on top with its joints taped, and each doorway needs a dam. If your builder has not done that, our insulation and membranes team can supply the build-up.
Firm underfoot by the second day is still not dry. Count on a day or so for each millimetre to 40mm, more after that, and a hygrometer test before any flooring. For homes just over the boundary, see Ealing liquid screed.
