How liquid screed suits Corsham's newer homes
A liquid screed is mixed to a flowing consistency and pumped through a hose into the room, where it spreads to the walls and levels itself. Because it is not compacted by hand, a whole ground floor can be covered in a single visit, and the surface comes out dense and flat. Reaching SR1 or SR2 flatness is straightforward with it, and that is what big tiles and LVT want underneath.
That flatness suits the layouts on Corsham's newest estates. Open-plan kitchens, long living spaces and heated floors all work well on a screed that flows around pipes with no voids and has few joints. Liquid screed shrinks far less than sand and cement, so a big room can usually be poured without the joints a traditional floor would need.
Depth is the other advantage. Floated on insulation, a house floor starts at around 35mm, and a commercial one at around 40mm. That shallower build-up helps when a new floor must line up with an existing one, for example where an extension on a post-war semi meets the original hall.
Two materials go under the liquid screed name, one bound with calcium sulphate and the other with cement. Which one is used depends on the specification and whether the room may get wet. If the drawings name a CA grade, see our page on Corsham anhydrite flow screed for what that involves.
From the kerb to the room: Corsham pump access
Our pump and mixer are set up outside, on your drive or in the road, and the hose is the only thing brought through the house. On a new estate there is usually room to park close. On an older street, or where a cottage has no driveway, the hose run may be longer, and that needs planning before the day. Let us know about parking, gates, steps and anything the hose has to pass through.
Upper floors are not a problem. The hose can run up a staircase or through a window to reach a flat or first floor room, and flats make up 13% of Corsham's homes. There is more on the kit and how it is rigged on our screed pumping page. Neither the pump nor our other machines are available for hire.
You can usually walk across the new floor 24 to 48 hours after pouring. Drying takes much longer, and depth decides how long, so a moisture reading rather than the date tells you when flooring can go down. Our drying times guide explains the rule of thumb.
Still deciding? Our guide weighing pumped screed against hand-laid lays out the differences.
