New floors at Clipstone Park and larger Leighton Buzzard rooms
The clearest case for liquid screed in Leighton Buzzard is the new housing to the east of town. At Clipstone Park, between Vandyke Road and Stanbridge Road, new homes are built on insulated floors, and a pumped screed over the heating pipes is a common specification. A pumped screed flows around the pipes without leaving voids, levels itself, and reaches SR1 or SR2 flatness readily, so a separate levelling stage is often not needed.
It also suits any large, open room, where hand laying would be slower and need more joints. A ground floor knocked through into one kitchen and living space, or a wide rear extension, is laid in a single pour. Shrinkage is low, so that kitchen and living space needs far fewer joints than the same room laid in sand and cement.
Apartments are another natural fit. Flats make up 17% of Leighton Buzzard's homes, and on an upper storey a hose up the stairwell is far quicker than hauling sand and cement up each flight.
On thickness, a house floor floated over insulation can take liquid from about 35mm; sand and cement would need about 65mm. There are two binders to pick between, calcium sulphate or cement, and the room decides which. For the calcium sulphate products and their grades, see anhydrite flow screed; for the two methods side by side, read which screed to choose.
Pumping a pour in Leighton Buzzard and Linslade
The pump works from outside, with the hose run through a door to the room. On a new estate that usually means a spot agreed with the site manager. On an older street it may mean the lorry standing on the road, so let us know about parking bays, yellow lines or narrow access when you ask for a price.
The hose can run through a hallway or up a staircase, so the room does not need to be next to the door. What it needs is preparation. Before the hose arrives, every wall needs its edge strip, the insulation needs a membrane with taped joints, and each doorway needs a dam to hold the screed in. We check each point on the day.
After the pour, keep off the floor until it can take light foot traffic, usually after 24 to 48 hours, and keep heavy loads off for longer. Drying out takes far longer than that: allow around one day for each millimetre up to 40mm deep, and more per millimetre beyond it. Our guide to drying times has the detail.
