Where a pumped floor makes sense in Ewell
Liquid screed pays off on large, open areas. When a 1930s semi is extended across the back into one kitchen, dining and family room, the pump covers the whole floor in a single pour and the screed levels itself. The finish comes out flat enough for SR1 or SR2 without much fuss, good news if you have picked big tiles or LVT, and with so little shrinkage it gets by on far fewer joints than a floor laid by hand.
The bigger ground floor rebuilds possible on Ewell Downs are another natural fit. When most of a ground floor is opened up, one continuous pour avoids the day joints of a traditional screed.
Flats account for 19% of Ewell's homes. If the flat is upstairs, the hose simply follows the staircase, which beats humping bags of sand and cement up every flight.
Depth is typically less than a traditional screed. Over insulation, a floating pour starts from about 35mm against roughly 65mm for sand and cement, and that thinner build-up helps when the extension floor must finish level with a threshold in the original house.
The binder can be calcium sulphate or cement, and which one goes into your room depends on how that room will be used. The calcium sulphate specification page covers grades and laitance. If heating pipes are going in, read the screed over underfloor heating page as well.
Running the pump hose into Ewell houses
Our mixer and pump stay parked on your road or drive, and only the hose comes inside. On a semi-detached plot the usual route is along the side passage and in through the back of the extension, or through the front door and hall if the side is blocked. Hoses reach a long way and can climb stairs, but the route has to be clear and protected before we arrive.
Parking is worth sorting in advance. If your road has restrictions or the drive is shared, tell us when you ask for a price so the pump can be placed without blocking neighbours.
Inside, the room must be sealed: edge strip on every wall, the membrane taped at each joint and lapped up the sides, and doorways dammed. Liquid screed finds any gap. We check all of this before the pour starts.
Being able to stand on it quickly tells you nothing about how dry it is. As a rough guide, budget one day for each millimetre of the first 40mm and more for every millimetre beyond, and get a moisture reading before any flooring goes down. Why those two things differ is covered in how long screed takes to dry.
