Flats, extensions and new homes across Huntingdon
Liquid screed is at its most useful on large, open floors and on floors that are hard to reach with barrows.
Flats come first. Upper-floor pours are routine for a pumped screed: the hose runs from the mixer up a stairwell or through an opening, and the screed flows across the floor to its own level. An entire apartment floor, whether over insulation or heating pipes, can be poured on one visit, with far fewer joints than hand-laid screed would need.
Extensions are the second fit. Detached houses make up 29% of Huntingdon's homes, and a single-storey rear extension opening into a kitchen is the classic liquid screed job: a wide area, a finished level set to meet the existing floor, and SR1 or SR2 surface regularity readily achieved.
New housing is the third. At Alconbury Weald, where thousands of homes are planned north of town, a flowing screed over heating is the likely specification.
Depth first: as a floating floor on insulation, homes start around 35mm and commercial space 40mm. Heating pipes need 25mm or more of screed above them. Whether a calcium sulphate or cement based version suits comes down to the rooms it is going into. For the heated version, see Huntingdon underfloor heating screed; for a comparison with the traditional method, read how liquid and sand and cement screeds differ.
Setting up the pump on Huntingdon streets
Liquid screed is mixed away from site and delivered ready to pump. The mixer or lorry parks as close as it can, and the hose runs to the room. On a Huntingdon house with a driveway, setting up is quick. In a block of flats or a terraced street, the route needs agreeing beforehand: where the vehicle stands, whether a permit is needed, and how the hose reaches an upper floor without damaging communal areas.
Before pouring, the edge strip is fixed round the walls, the membrane is taped so no screed escapes, and datum points are set to the finished level. In it goes, dappled to let trapped air out, then left to find its level. Rooms next door are protected at the thresholds.
Afterwards, keep off for 24 to 48 hours. Dry is a long way off: near enough a day a millimetre up to 40mm, and slower past that. Our screed pumping service explains the equipment in more detail, and liquid screed in St Ives covers the same service about 4.7 miles away.
