Where pumped screed suits Hinckley and Burbage floors
Liquid screed makes most sense where a floor is wide, open and needs to be flat. Think of a rear extension where the kitchen and dining room become one room: the screed spreads across the lot in one pour and finds its own level. This material reaches SR1 or SR2 flatness without much trouble. There is no hand trowelling across the room, so the finish does not depend on a long floor being ruled off by eye in sections.
The newer homes on the edges of Burbage are a good fit for a different reason. Where they have wet underfloor heating, a flowing screed wraps fully round the pipes with no voids, which helps the floor warm up quickly. The pour stays shallower too, since a floating liquid floor in a house begins at about 35mm against roughly 65mm for sand and cement.
Flats are the third case. With 11% of Hinckley homes being flats, the hose can go up the stairwell to an upper floor so nobody carries tonnes of mix by hand.
Liquid screed comes as either a calcium sulphate mix or a cement based one, and each has its uses. When the drawings name a specific calcium sulphate grade, our page on anhydrite flow screed grades covers the material itself. If you are weighing up pumped against hand-laid, the comparison is set out in pumped and hand-laid screed compared.
Setting up the pump on a Hinckley street
When we pour, the mixer lorry and pump wait at the kerb or on the drive, and the hose comes in through the closest door. A hallway or a staircase is no problem for the hose, as long as the way through is clear and covered. If the lorry cannot pull onto a drive, let us know about yellow lines, permit bays or a shared passage when you send the details, so the pour is planned around them.
The room itself has to be ready before any screed arrives. Every wall needs edge strip, the insulation needs a membrane over it with taped joints so nothing leaks underneath, and each doorway needs a dam. We check it all before starting, and we can supply and fit the full build-up through our insulation and membranes service.
Being able to walk on it does not mean it is dry. A day or two after the pour you can cross it carefully, but no covering goes down until a moisture test is passed. Drying runs at roughly a millimetre a day through the first 40mm and slows after that, so read our screed drying time guide before you book a flooring fitter.
