Where liquid screed suits Shottery, Bishopton and Loxley Road
The mix arrives ready made, travels through a hose to the room and settles itself flat. It suits big, open floors, because the whole area goes down in one pour with far fewer joints than a hand-laid screed and very little shrinkage. That describes the new housing at Shottery, where 800 homes are being built, the plots planned around Bishopton and the 270 homes on Loxley Road. Open-plan kitchens, rear extensions and ground floors laid over insulation fall into the same group.
Thickness in a Stratford home hangs on the layers below it. Laid floating over insulation in a Stratford house, it can be as shallow as about 35mm, while a shop or office floor needs around 40mm or more. Where pipes run underneath, the screed needs at least 25mm of cover, giving 45 to 50mm in total, and because it flows around them there are no voids to spoil the heat spread. Our Stratford underfloor heating screed page goes into that.
Builders also pick it for how flat it finishes. Hitting SR1 or SR2 regularity is routine, so whoever fits the tiles, LVT or engineered boards has less to put right. There are two families, calcium sulphate and cement based, and the rooms in question decide between them. The specification side is covered on anhydrite screed in Stratford.
Purpose-built blocks hold 20% of Stratford's homes, and their floors pump just as well, with the hose taken up the stairs to whichever storey is being done.
Getting the pump to a Stratford-upon-Avon room
Nothing heavy comes into the house: the pump and mixer park up outside and only the hose travels in. On a new-build plot that is simple, as there is usually space on the road or the drive. In established streets it takes more planning. Parked cars and narrow frontages mean the hose may need to run through a hallway or down a side passage, protected as it goes, and for an upper floor flat it climbs the stairwell. Tell us where the room is and what the parking is like, and the setup is planned before the price is fixed.
Because liquid screed covers large areas in a day, a typical extension is poured in a single visit. After that the job is drying. A Shottery kitchen floor you can tiptoe over by day two is still nowhere near dry enough for tiles, because moisture leaves at about 1mm daily through the first 40mm and more slowly below. Good ventilation helps, and a moisture test, not the calendar, says when the floor is ready.
We do not hire out pumps, so the pump arrives with our crew. More on the kit is under screed pumping, and if you are weighing up both materials, read liquid screed vs sand and cement before deciding.
