Extensions and flats that suit liquid screed in Rushden
Liquid screed pays for itself on area. A kitchen extension that runs the width of a semi, a knocked-through ground floor or a floor of flats can be poured in a few hours, where a hand-laid screed would take days. It flows around corners and pipes, finds its own level and cures dense and flat, with surface regularity of SR1 or SR2 readily achievable.
Mid-century semis in Rushden are common candidates for that kind of extension. The new floor usually sits on insulation over the slab, with a membrane and an edge strip, and the liquid screed floats on top at about 35mm upward in a home.
The other natural match in Rushden is a flat. In Rushden, 12% of homes are flats, and upper floor apartments are well suited to a pumped screed because the hose can climb a stairwell instead of anyone carrying bags. Homes built since 2015 make up only 6% of the stock, so new build plots are a smaller part of the picture here than refurbishment and extension.
Liquid screed comes as either a calcium sulphate mix or a cement based one. Which one to use depends on the rooms, whether any will get wet and the programme. Calcium sulphate grades are covered on our anhydrite flow screed page, and for depth rules see the screed thickness guide.
Pumping to terraced streets and upper floors in Rushden
Mixer and pump never come inside; what matters is the length of hose between them and your room. On a Rushden cul de sac with a driveway, the kit parks next to the house. Close to the centre, where houses are terraced, the truck may have to wait in the road while the hose goes in at the front door and down the hallway to the back room.
We plan that route when we price. Useful details are whether there are parking restrictions, whether the house shares an entry with next door, and whether the pour is on an upper floor. A long hose run is fine; a surprise on the day is not.
Once poured, the screed is left to settle out of draughts for a day or two, then ventilated to dry. Expect around a day of drying per millimetre over the first 40mm, with progress slowing beyond it. The pour itself can be walked on long before it is ready for flooring, so book the fitter after a moisture test rather than by the calendar.
For a heavier pumping job, such as feeding another contractor's pour, see our screed pumping service. Near neighbours can read about liquid screed in Wellingborough.
