Liquid Screed in Frimley

Kitchen extensions, knock-throughs and bigger ground floors in Frimley are where our pump earns its keep: the entire floor goes down in one visit, ready to walk on after 24 to 48 hours. Frimley has few new estates. Only 9% of its homes were built since 2000, so most liquid screed here goes into extensions of post-war houses, where a new floor must meet an older slab at the same level.

Pumped screed for Frimley extensions and open-plan rooms

Liquid screed is most useful on large, open floors. When a Frimley kitchen extension turns a separate kitchen and dining room into one open-plan space, the whole floor can be poured in a single session. Because it finds its own level, SR1 or SR2 flatness is well within reach, and with so little shrinkage the room needs only a few joints, far fewer than a hand-laid floor.

Its flatness also helps at the join. With the level taken from the existing floor, a self-levelling screed finishes to a consistent height across the new room, making it easier to meet the older slab without a step.

It is also thinner. Over insulation, a domestic pour can start at about 35mm, while sand and cement would need about 65mm. That leaves more of the available height for insulation boards, which matters because floors from the 1950s to the 1990s often have little or none.

Flats make up 13% of Frimley's homes. On an upper floor, the hose climbs the stairs, which is quicker and lighter work than carrying sand and cement.

Two kinds of liquid screed are in use, calcium sulphate and cement based, and the room decides which. The calcium sulphate type is covered on our anhydrite flow screed page; for heated floors, see screeding over underfloor heating.

Getting the pump hose into Frimley houses

The pump and mixer stay outside, ideally on the drive, and a hose runs to the room through a side gate, the garage or the front door. It can reach a long way and climb stairs, but it needs a clear, protected route. Let us know early if there is no drive for the pump or you share one with a neighbour.

Liquid screed will escape through any gap, so the room is sealed first: perimeter strip along each wall, the membrane taped where sheets overlap and turned up at the edges, and a dam across every doorway. On a knock-through, the opening into the existing house is dammed so the screed stays in the new area. Our team goes over every one of these points when they turn up.

Do not mistake a firm surface for a dry one. You can step on it after 24 to 48 hours; flooring, though, has to wait for a moisture reading, and drying takes around one day per millimetre up to 40mm and longer past that. The drying times guide explains this, and liquid screed in Camberley is available on the same terms.

FAQs

Liquid Screed in Frimley: your questions

How long does a liquid screed pour take in a Frimley extension?

The pour itself is usually done in a single day, even on a large open-plan floor, because the pump delivers screed continuously and it levels itself. Setting up, checking the edge strip and membrane and cleaning down add to the visit. The longer wait comes afterwards, while the screed dries before the flooring can go down.

Can liquid screed be laid over the old floor in my Frimley house?

If there is enough height, yes. A floating liquid screed from about 35mm can go over insulation and a membrane laid on the existing slab. Door thresholds and the bottom stair often leave little room, though, so the old slab may need lowering, or a thin levelling compound may suit better where flatness is the only problem.

Liquid screed or sand and cement for a Frimley kitchen?

For a large, open kitchen, liquid screed covers the floor quickly with fewer joints and a flatter finish. Sand and cement costs less per m², at £18 to £25 against £24 to £31 for liquid on published 2026 figures, and suits smaller rooms. Each method's pros and cons are laid out in comparing liquid and traditional screed.
