Liquid screed for High Wycombe flats and extension slabs
Lay a traditional screed in a flat and most of the labour is spent carrying sand and cement. Pumping changes that: the machines stay down on the street while the hose climbs the stairwell to the room. The pour is faster, quieter for the neighbours and tidier in the shared hallways, which building managers usually prefer.
The other natural home for it is the extension: across High Wycombe, inter-war and post-war semis are commonly extended at the rear or side, and the new slab then needs screeding up to the existing floor height. A house floor floated on insulation can take liquid screed from about 35mm, against about 65mm for sand and cement, which can mean a level threshold instead of a step at the doorway.
It is also flat. Since it finds its own level, hitting the SR1 or SR2 classes for surface regularity is straightforward, good news for large tiles and click flooring. With so little shrinkage, a big open floor gets away with only a handful of joints.
New plots are a fit as well, and in High Wycombe 10% of homes date from 2015 or later. Liquid screed comes with either binder, calcium sulphate or cement, depending on the room it is going into. To compare the two laying methods, read liquid screed vs sand and cement; for floors with pipes in, our underfloor heating screed page takes over.
Pump access for High Wycombe houses and upper floors
The first question before any pour is booked: where can the mixer and pump stand? A driveway makes it easy. If your road has permit parking or yellow lines, let us know early so the right arrangements can be made. From the pump, the hose can travel along a hallway, down a side passage or up several floors, provided the route is clear and protected.
Then the room. We need edge strip on every wall, the membrane laid on the insulation with its joints taped, and a dam across each doorway so nothing escapes, and we go round checking all of it on the day. If only the pumping is wanted, our screed pumping service handles that.
Last comes drying. You can cross it on foot after a day or two; the carpet, tiles or wood have to wait for a passed moisture test. Budget around a day for every millimetre through the first 40mm, with the pace dropping after that, and more again in a cold, unheated room. Working in Marlow, about 4 miles away?
