Conservatory replacements and extensions in Park Wood and Twydall
Estates such as Park Wood, Twydall, Wigmore and Hempstead bring frequent conservatory replacement and extension work on their semis and terraces. When an old conservatory is replaced with a solid-roofed room, the floor usually has to be rebuilt too, with proper insulation and a screed that meets the existing house floor. Pumping suits that kind of room. It flows out across the whole room to a level surface, and reaches SR1 or SR2 flatness readily without hand compacting.
Thickness helps as well. A liquid floor floated over insulation can be roughly 35mm, little more than half the 65mm or so that sand and cement takes. That leaves more of the available depth for insulation, which matters when the finished floor must line up with a kitchen doorway.
Blocks of flats suit it too. Purpose-built blocks account for 13% of homes in Gillingham, and on the upper floors of a block the pump hose simply runs up the stairwell. There is no carrying of sand and cement up flights of stairs, and a whole flat can be poured in one visit.
The binder, calcium sulphate or cement, is picked to suit the room and its floor finish. The material side is covered on our Gillingham anhydrite flow screed page. For budgeting, the 2026 published rate for liquid is £24 to £31 per m².
How the pump reaches a Gillingham room
The machinery never enters the house; screed travels from the pump outside along a hose. On an estate house with a drive or a side gate, that is quick to set up. Where the frontage is on-street parking only, the lorry may need to stand in the road for the length of the pour, so tell us about permits, restrictions or tight corners when you ask for a quote.
Indoors, we need a clear path for the hose. The hose can run through a hallway, a lounge or up a flight of stairs, and we cover floors and door frames along the way. In the room being poured, edge strip lines each wall, membrane joints are taped and each doorway is dammed off.
After the pour, leave the surface undisturbed while it sets, then ventilate the room to help it dry. A day per millimetre for the first 40mm is the rough rule, slower beyond that, and our drying times guide explains the details. Our screed pumping page describes the equipment and set-up in more depth. Pumps and machines are not available from us for hire.
