Single storey Clacton-on-Sea floors poured in one day
Single storey homes are well matched to a flowing screed. A bungalow plan puts every room on one level, so once the old floor has been broken out and the insulation and membrane laid, the pump can fill the whole footprint in a single pour. Doorways between rooms are either left open or given a joint, and the finished floor comes out at one consistent height.
That consistency is the real benefit. A liquid screed readily reaches SR1 or SR2 flatness under a 2m straightedge, which means fewer problems for LVT, large tiles or engineered boards later. It also shrinks very little, so far fewer joints are needed than with a hand-laid floor.
Depth is modest. A floating liquid screed in a home starts from about 35mm, against about 65mm for sand and cement, and in a garden room that has to meet the kitchen floor those extra millimetres can decide whether the finished level works.
Only 12% of Clacton's homes have been built since 2000, and 32% are semi-detached. A semi with a rear garden room or enlarged kitchen planned is exactly the kind of house where a single continuous pour, finished flush with the existing floor, saves days on site. Liquid screeds come in calcium sulphate and cement based forms. The specification side of calcium sulphate sits on our anhydrite flow screed page.
Where the pump stands on a Clacton-on-Sea street
The mixer and pump stay at the kerb or on the drive, and a hose runs to the room. On most bungalow plots that is a short, straight route through the front door or a patio opening. For a garden room at the back, the hose may need to pass down a side passage or through the house, so check that gates open wide enough and that the route can be covered.
Parking is worth planning. Where kerb space outside is limited, a lorry that cannot pull up close adds hose length and time. Tell us the address and any restrictions when you ask for a price.
On the day, the room must be sealed: edge strip on the walls, membrane taped at every lap, and doorways dammed. We can supply the layers through our insulation and membranes work.
Walking on it is fine within a day or two, but drying takes about a day per millimetre for the first 40mm, and longer beyond. The liquid or sand and cement comparison sets out how the two methods differ on drying and cost.
