Pumped screed for Towcester Grange and extensions
Towcester Grange is a large new neighbourhood off Stourhead Drive, built alongside the relief road linking the A5 and A43. At developments there such as The Watlings and The Furlongs, the ground floors are laid over insulation, often with heating pipes, and a floor like that suits a flowing screed that fills every gap around the pipes. The pour usually happens early, before the kitchen, stairs and internal joinery are fitted.
The same logic applies to extensions. Houses from Towcester's later growth are common candidates for extensions, and a wide kitchen and family room can be poured in one visit. Because the new floor has to meet the existing level exactly, the screed depth is set from the finished floor level of the house, not from the new slab.
Laid floating, a domestic floor needs about 35mm as a starting depth, and a commercial one about 40mm. It shrinks little, so it needs far fewer joints than sand and cement, and it gives surface regularity to SR1 or SR2, which suits large tiles and thin finishes.
You can have it as a calcium sulphate screed or a cement based one. The choice depends on the rooms and whether any will be wet. Our guide comparing pumped and traditional screed weighs one against the other. If your extension will be heated, see our page on heated floor screed in Towcester.
Delivering liquid screed in Towcester streets
A liquid pour starts outside. The screed is mixed, then pumped through a hose to the room, so the pump needs somewhere to stand. New streets with driveways make that easy. On Watling Street, where the A5 runs through the centre, tell us where a pump could stand, because the hose may need to come from a side road or through a rear yard.
Flats need planning too. In Towcester, 10% of homes are flats, and a pumped screed can reach an upper floor up a stairwell or through a window, where hand mixing and carrying would be slow.
On the day, the room must be clear, with insulation, membrane and edge strip fixed. After the pour, keep doors closed and the floor out of draughts for a day or two, then ventilate. Each millimetre takes about a day to dry through the first 40mm, and the pace drops after that.
Walk on it gently after 24 to 48 hours, but keep heavy loads, ladders on castors and trolleys off it for longer.
