Where pumped screed fits in Hampden Park and Langney
Semis and terraces in Hampden Park and Langney tend to gain kitchen extensions, and an extension floor is where liquid screed makes most sense. The room is usually open, the area is larger than a single original room, and the owner wants to walk on it quickly. One visit is normally enough to pour a floor like that, and people can walk across it after 24 to 48 hours.
Depth depends on what is underneath. On insulation with no pipes, a house floor in liquid screed begins at roughly 35mm. Where heating pipes run through it, they need 25mm or more of screed above them, so the whole layer usually comes to 45 to 50mm. Since the screed finds its own level, an SR1 or SR2 finish is well within reach, and that suits most tiles, LVT and engineered wood.
There are two broad families of liquid screed. Calcium sulphate types are for rooms that stay dry, while a utility or shower area that could get wet calls for a cement based flowing mix. The choice follows the room, and the detail of the calcium sulphate grades sits on our anhydrite flow screed page for Eastbourne.
Roughly 27% of the town's housing went up between 1973 and 1999. Many houses from those decades sit on a solid ground floor, and an extension has to finish flush with it. Still deciding between the two main types? The liquid versus sand and cement comparison lays out what each one does better.
Getting the hose into an Eastbourne terrace or flat
About 24% of homes in the town are terraced, and a terrace usually means no driveway and a front door straight onto the pavement. That is workable. The pump stands in the road and the hose runs through the house to the back, so we need to know about parking bays, permits and whether a neighbour's car will be in the way on the day.
Flats above the ground floor are pumped the same way, with the hose run up the stair or, where the building allows, through a window. Tell us the floor, the width of the stairwell and whether there is a lift, and we will plan the route before quoting.
Then comes drying. Allow roughly a day for each millimetre up to 40mm, and longer per millimetre beyond that. A floor you can walk on after two days may need weeks more before moisture sensitive flooring is laid. The screed drying times guide helps you plan the other trades around it. We also pump liquid screed in nearby Polegate.
