Where pumped screed fits in Faversham homes
The bigger and plainer the floor, the more sense a pumped screed makes. A rear extension that joins a kitchen and dining room into one space, a new ground floor laid over insulation, or a conversion with several rooms on one level are all good candidates. The screed flows out to a level surface across the whole area and reaches SR1 or SR2 flatness readily, with no compacting or hand finishing room by room.
Flats are another strong fit. With 14% of Faversham homes being flats, upper floors come up too, and running a hose up the stairs is far quicker and cleaner than hauling the same weight of sand and cement upstairs by hand.
It suits the oldest parts of town less often. In a small, irregular room in a timber-framed house there is little area for a pump to save time on, and a floor that may get wet needs a cement substrate. Pumped mixes are made with a calcium sulphate binder or a cement one, and which goes in depends on how the room is used and what is laid over it.
Depth is a practical advantage. On insulation in a home, a liquid floor starts around 35mm thick and sand and cement nearer 65mm, and the height saved helps line up with a doorway that has to stay where it is. What a pour costs depends on area, depth and access, and our guide to floor screeding costs explains the main factors. If you are weighing up the two main methods, see how liquid compares with sand and cement.
Getting the pump hose into a Faversham room
Only the hose comes indoors; pump and mixer stay out on the street or drive and the line is run through to the room. A driveway makes that straightforward. Where the only frontage is a narrow pavement, the lorry and pump may have to stand in the road for a few hours, so let us know about yellow lines, permit parking or a shared rear passage when you ask for a price. The hose can travel a long way through hallways and up stairs, provided the route is clear and protected.
Ahead of pour day each wall gets edge strip, the joints in the membrane over the insulation get taped, and every doorway gets a dam so nothing escapes. Our team goes over all three when we arrive. Where those layers are not there yet, we can provide and lay them as part of our insulation and membrane work.
A floor you can cross on foot can still be holding a lot of water. Drying goes at around a day for every millimetre until the 40mm mark, then slows, so get a moisture reading before any covering goes on. A liquid floor feeding a heated extension is covered on our Faversham underfloor heating screed page.
