Open-plan kitchens in Owlsmoor, College Town and Little Sandhurst
Owners of the 1970s and 1980s houses across Owlsmoor, College Town and Little Sandhurst often knock through to an open-plan kitchen. Joining a kitchen, dining room and extension into one space leaves a large floor with no natural breaks, and a pumped screed handles that well. One pour reaches every corner and settles itself level, and since it barely shrinks as it cures, the room needs only a fraction of the joints a sand and cement floor would.
Flatness is the other advantage. Surface regularity to SR1 or SR2 is readily achievable with a flowing screed, which matters under large format tiles and LVT laid right through an open-plan room.
What lies beneath decides the thickness. Floating on insulation in a family home, you start at around 35mm. If heating pipes are laid, at least 25mm of cover goes over them, making 45 to 50mm in total. On an existing slab, the depth available between slab and finished floor level settles which product is used.
Semi-detached houses are 27% of Sandhurst's homes, and a side or rear extension on a semi often adds the floor area that makes a pump worthwhile. You can pour either a calcium sulphate or a cement based mix, and the first of those is unpacked under calcium sulphate flow screed in Sandhurst. To weigh pouring against hand laying, try our guide to choosing liquid or sand and cement.
Pump access and drying on Sandhurst driveways
First, the pump has to park close enough for our hose to get to the extension. At a detached or semi-detached house the lorry can often stand on the road or drive with the hose run through a side gate, though we confirm this by phone or on a visit rather than assume it. Where an extension is at the back of a terrace, the hose can go through the house with floors protected.
On the day, the floor is poured, spread and dappled to release air, then left alone. After 24 to 48 hours it will normally take foot traffic, so the electrician or kitchen fitter can get back in, although heavy loads and wet trades should hold off longer.
Drying is a separate question from walking. As a rough rule, the first 40mm loses its moisture at about a millimetre a day and the rest more slowly, which puts a 50mm heated floor several weeks from its tiles or boards. Calcium sulphate can be helped along by the heating once it is about 7 days old. Our drying times guide goes into detail, and the same service covers liquid screed in Crowthorne nearby.
