Where liquid screed earns its place in Farnham
Liquid screed is at its most useful over large, open floors, and Farnham's larger ground floor rebuilds with open plan kitchens are exactly that. The screed is pumped in and levels itself, reaching SR1 or SR2 regularity readily, so one pour covers a kitchen, dining and living space without the day joints a hand-laid floor would need.
Flats are the second good fit. Flats of all kinds make up 22% of Farnham's homes, and on an upper floor the pump hose simply climbs the stairs instead of a team carrying sand and cement up by hand.
Newer houses suit it too: where a floor is built up over insulation boards, often with heating pipes fixed down, a flowing screed fills the space evenly.
It is less suited to small, awkward rooms and places that will stay wet. For those, a hand-compacted sand and cement floor is often simpler and cheaper to set up.
Depth is usually lower. Poured over insulation, a domestic liquid floor can be as thin as about 35mm, where sand and cement would want about 65mm, and that thinner build-up makes it easier to bring an extension in flush with the rooms already there.
There are two binders to pick from, calcium sulphate or cement, and the right one depends on what the room is for and what will cover it. The calcium sulphate version is explained in what anhydrite screed is.
Pump access to Farnham houses and flats
Nothing but the hose comes indoors, and both machines are left outside. Where a Farnham house has off-road parking, the pump stands on the drive and the hose is fed in through the side gate or front door. Where the pump has to stand on the street, or parking is restricted, ask about a suspension or other arrangements early.
For a flat, check with the building's managing agent where the pump can stand and whether the hose can run through shared hallways.
Inside, the room must be ready: edge strip round the walls, membrane joints taped and lapped up the sides, and every doorway dammed. Liquid screed will find a gap and run through it. We check the preparation before pumping starts, and if it is not in place we can provide it through our insulation and membrane supply.
Pump hire on its own runs at £300 to £600 per day on published 2026 figures, but we do not hire out pumps; the pump comes with our team and the pour.
You can cross the floor a day or two after pouring, though it will be far from dry. Count on about one day for each millimetre of the first 40mm, and have the moisture tested before the finish goes down. Liquid screed in Aldershot follows the same process.
