Matching an extension floor on the St Helier estate
The southern half of the St Helier estate, built by the London County Council between 1928 and 1936, lies in Sutton, and like the rest of the borough's inter-war housing it is a place where rear extensions are the usual building work. The old house stands on a suspended timber floor. The extension gets a new insulated ground floor, and the two must meet at the same height with no step at the join.
That puts a limit on depth. In a house, floating liquid screed can be as little as about 35mm, where a floating sand and cement floor needs 65mm, and those spare millimetres go into thicker insulation underneath. The screed settles flat by itself, so SR1 or SR2 is well within reach for LVT or large tiles in the new kitchen.
A pumped screed also covers a big open-plan room in a day, and it shrinks far less than sand and cement, so fewer joints are needed across a wide floor. With heating pipes in the floor, it surrounds them completely and leaves no gaps, and heated floor screeds in Sutton goes into cover depths and commissioning.
Liquid screed can be made on a calcium sulphate base or a cement base, and the right one for a Sutton extension rests on which rooms it covers and what flooring goes on top. To weigh pumped against hand-laid, see our liquid versus traditional screed guide.
Pumping into Sutton town centre flats and houses
Flats make up 36% of Sutton's homes, and the newer ones in Sutton town centre use underfloor heating with liquid screed. On a block, the pump usually stands at a loading point and the hose runs up the stairs or through an opening on the right floor. A goods lift, a managing agent's permit or set working hours may all need arranging, so tell us about them early.
At a house, we park the pump on your drive, or in the street if there isn't one, then take the hose either down the side passage or through the house to the back. A semi with side access makes that straightforward. A terrace with no side passage means running the hose through the hall under protective sheets, which takes planning but not much time.
The pump is part of the cost. Hiring the pump alone is £300 to £600 for each day on published trade figures, and the screed itself adds £24 to £31 for every m², so a lone box room can work out pricier per m² than a wide kitchen-diner. The pump and its operator come with our crew as part of our screed pumping; we don't rent out pumps or machines. Neighbouring areas are covered the same way, for example liquid screed in Merton.
