Where pumped liquid screed fits Camberley homes
Liquid screed is mixed at the plant, delivered by truck and pumped through a hose straight onto the insulation or slab. Because it levels itself, a whole ground floor can go down in a day, and the finish lands comfortably within SR1 or SR2: lay a 2m straightedge on it and no gap tops 3mm or 5mm.
That suits the extensions added to Camberley's later 20th century houses. A rear extension that opens into the kitchen creates one broad floor, and a flowing screed fills it in a continuous pour, with far fewer joints than a hand-laid floor and very little shrinkage. It suits flats as well. Some 25% of homes in the town are flats, and a pumped screed can be carried to an upper floor by hose, which avoids barrowing wet material up a stairwell.
Depth is thinner than for a traditional screed. Over insulation in a home we start at around 35mm (40mm on commercial floors), where a sand and cement floor would need 65mm. With heating loops underneath, 25mm or more has to sit above the pipes, giving a finished depth of 45 to 50mm in most rooms. Since the mix wraps every pipe without leaving air pockets, a heated Camberley extension comes up to temperature more quickly.
You can have a calcium sulphate or a cement based mix; which one depends on the room and the flooring you plan. Being able to cross the room after a day or two does not mean the tiler can start, because the screed needs about a day for every millimetre of its first 40mm and longer after that. Weighing it against a hand-laid floor? Our comparison of pumped and hand-laid screed puts the two together.
Getting the pump to the room in Camberley
The pump is the part of a liquid screed job that depends on the street. Both the mixer lorry and the pump have to stop near your house, with the hose fed in through a door or window. A detached house with its own drive makes that easy. Where a semi, terrace or maisonette has a tight frontage and parking on the road, we check the route before the day and may ask neighbours to keep a space clear.
Upper floors are workable. The hose can go up a stairwell or through a first floor window, which helps when refurbishing a flat anywhere in GU15.
The room itself needs preparing before the lorry turns up. That means weathertight, with the edge strip fixed around the walls, the membrane taped so screed cannot run underneath, and door thresholds dammed off. The pour itself takes hours, and the room stays closed to foot traffic until the next day.
Only 17% of Camberley homes were built since 2000, so most pours here go into an existing house rather than a fresh plot, and protecting floors and walls along the hose route is part of the job. Where a truck cannot get close, a separate screed pumping setup with a longer line may help. For a project over the boundary, we also lay liquid screed in Frimley and in Sandhurst.
