Where pumped screed suits Raunds homes
Pumping pays off most when the floor is big and open. A kitchen and family room knocked through into a rear extension, a new ground floor laid over insulation, or a whole house floor on a recent plot can all be poured in one visit instead of being laid by hand bay by bay.
Later houses in Raunds are common candidates for extensions, and that is the typical job. The new room usually has insulation boards, a membrane and an edge strip around the walls, and the screed is poured on top as a floating layer. In a house a floating pour begins at about 35mm, deeper again where heating pipes run through it.
New building continues at small schemes like Amber Fields, with three and four bedroom homes at Clay Pit Close off Brick Kiln Road. On any new build plot the floor may be laid before the kitchen, stairs and internal doors are finished, so the pour date sits early in the programme.
Flatness is the other reason people choose it. Pumped floors commonly meet SR1 or SR2, a flatness that large format tiles and thin finishes depend on. The mix itself may be calcium sulphate or cement based; which goes in depends on the rooms, and on whether any of them, a utility or shower room say, will see water. There is more on that choice in our liquid versus sand and cement comparison.
Getting the pump to a Raunds floor
The screed is mixed and pumped from outside, so the first practical question is where the mixer and pump can stand. Where the house has its own drive, the pump parks on it and the job is simple. Where parking is on the road, as it can be in the older streets around Church Street and Manor Street, or the only way to the back of the house is a narrow passage, the hose has to run further.
That is usually solvable. Hoses can run through a hallway, over a side gate or up a stairwell to an upper floor, and the route is planned when we price the job. Tell us early about parking restrictions or neighbours who share an alley.
On the day, the rooms need to be clear and the edge strip and membrane in place. After the pour the floor is left undisturbed and kept free of draughts for the first day or two, then opened up to help drying. Drying takes about a day for each millimetre up to 40mm and slows past that point, so leave room in the diary before the flooring goes down.
