Liquid screed on Houlton plots and newer Rugby homes
Houlton, the new community on the former Rugby Radio Station site east of Hillmorton, was first occupied in December 2017 and is planned to reach 6,200 homes. Together with Cawston, it accounts for much of the new building in Rugby.
New floors like these suit liquid screed. On a Houlton or Cawston house plot it floats on the insulation from roughly 35mm deep, or from roughly 40mm where the building is commercial. It flows into corners and around pipes. Left to settle, it reaches SR1 or SR2 regularity, ready for LVT, big tiles or engineered boards.
On a new plot, the pour is booked once the building is weathertight and the insulation, edge strip and any heating pipes are in place, so it can be fixed against the build programme.
The same applies to an extension added to a newer house. When a kitchen is opened up into a single living space, a pumped screed covers the whole area in a day and matches the finished level of the original floor.
There is a calcium sulphate kind of liquid screed and a cement kind. Which suits depends on the floor finish and whether the area could get wet, and the anhydrite flow screed page for Rugby deals with the calcium sulphate grades. Not sure yet whether pumped is right? Our pumped versus hand-laid guide weighs the pros and cons.
Getting the hose into Rugby flats and terraces
Getting from mixer to room is half the job with a pumped floor, so the path the hose takes gets as much thought as the floor. Before the day we need to know where the truck and pump can stand, how the hose reaches the door, and whether parking needs arranging.
Flats are 15% of Rugby's homes. An upper-floor pour is well suited to a pump, because nobody carries material up the stairs, but it needs a planned hose route, protection for shared areas and notice for the managing agent where there is one.
Our crew turn up with our own pump, and we never rent machines out to others. How the pump gets set up on the day is covered under screed pumping. A photo of the frontage and a note on parking, sent with your enquiry, is usually enough to plan the setup.
Being able to stand on it still leaves a lot of water in it. Up to 40mm deep, reckon on a day for each millimetre, and longer past that, then book the floor fitter to suit. For a site about 6 miles away, see liquid screed in Lutterworth.
