Liquid screed for Frome's extensions and refits
A liquid screed arrives in a mixer, is pumped through a hose and spreads across the room. It then settles into a dense, flat layer. Reaching SR1 or SR2 is not difficult, and once dry the surface can take tiles, LVT or engineered boards directly.
Semi-detached houses make up 30% of Frome's homes, and the town's 1970s to 1990s terraces and semis are where most of its kitchen extensions take place. When the kitchen, dining room and extension are opened into one space, a single liquid pour covers the lot without the day joints of a hand-laid floor.
We work out the floor by starting at the finished height and measuring downward. On insulation in a house, liquid screed is laid from about 35mm. Where heating pipes run through it, keep a minimum of 25mm above them, which brings the total to around 45 to 50mm. For a heated room, commissioning is explained on our page for screed over underfloor heating.
Homes built from 2000 to 2014 make up 13% of the stock, and newer estates are mostly around Adderwell. Extensions to those homes often need the new floor to match an existing modern build-up. Liquid screed can be poured to that exact depth.
Not every floor suits it. Small rooms, wet rooms with falls and floors needing early heavy loads are usually better laid by hand.
Reaching Frome floors with the pump hose
The hose has to reach your room from wherever the mixer and pump can park. On an estate with driveways that is usually simple. On a narrow street or a plot with no off-road space it takes more arranging, so give us details of parking, lines and access before the day.
Upper floors are no barrier. The hose can go up a stair or through a window, which suits first floor flats and loft rooms where carrying sand and cement would be slow.
The room needs to be ready: windows and doors in, edge strip fixed to every wall, and insulation and membrane laid tight with taped joints so the screed cannot float or leak. When we arrive, we look over that build-up before anything is poured.
A 40mm floor takes around 40 days to dry and anything thicker takes longer, so allow several weeks for 50mm. The drying time guide sets out what speeds it up. Our screed pumping page explains how the pump side of a pour is run; we do not hire out pumps or machines.
