Wallis Fields, Langley Park and other flowing screed floors
Part of Park Wood was redeveloped as Wallis Fields in 2006, and more new homes have since gone up at Langley Park. Builds like these are where liquid screed is at home. A hose takes it from the mixer to the room, where it levels itself, so even a big ground floor is done fast, with a dense face, little shrinkage and nowhere near as many joints as a screed laid by hand.
It also makes sense in the town's flats. Purpose-built blocks make up 20% of Maidstone's homes, and an apartment floor needs to be flat, quick to lay and ready for the next trade. A pumped floor can readily reach SR1 or SR2 for surface regularity, good enough for LVT, big tiles and engineered boards.
In older houses, the usual reason to choose liquid is an extension or a knock-through that creates one big room. Floated on insulation, liquid screed goes in from about 35mm in a house or 40mm in commercial space, a thin build that helps an extension on a Shepway or Ringlestone semi finish level with the rooms already there.
There are cement based and calcium sulphate liquid screeds. The calcium sulphate kind needs its surface sanded and its moisture checked in a particular way before flooring, set out on our Maidstone anhydrite screed page. Not sure whether to pump or hand-lay? Our guide weighing up liquid against traditional screed lays out the pros and cons.
Pumping to Maidstone houses, flats and upper floors
Planning a liquid pour starts with how the hose gets in. Our pump and mixer park on your drive or in the road, and the hose goes through a door or window. For a ground floor extension, a clear path down the side of the house is often enough.
Upper floors need more planning. For an apartment, we may take the hose up the shared staircase or in at a window, so tell us which floor it is on, what the managing agent allows and where our vehicles can wait. On new build sites the site manager usually sets aside a spot for the pump.
Foot traffic is normally fine 24 to 48 hours later. Light trades can carry on from then, though flooring has to wait for the screed to dry out, about one day for each mm up to 40mm and slower again past that depth.
Our own screed pumping service covers the pump and crew as part of the job. Pumps and machines are not something we rent out by themselves; for reference, published pump hire rates are £300 to £600 per day.
