Liquid Screed in Warwick

Liquid screed is pumped straight from the mixer and finds its own level, and we lay it in Warwick homes, extensions and flats. Warwick's recent building is where it earns its keep. 23% of Warwick's homes were built in 2015 or later, and estates such as Chase Meadow and Myton Green lend themselves to liquid screed, often over underfloor heating, when owners extend. These floors can normally take a careful footstep 24 to 48 hours after pouring.

Liquid screed for Chase Meadow and Myton Green extensions

A modern extension is usually one large room, with kitchen, dining and living space opening onto the garden. That is the shape liquid screed handles well. One visit sees the whole room poured; the screed levels itself, barely shrinks and so gets by with far fewer joints than a hand-laid equivalent. It will reach SR1 or SR2 without much fuss, leaving the tiler or LVT fitter less to prepare.

On the newer estates, Chase Meadow from the early 2010s and Myton Green among the newest, an extension floor is usually laid over insulation. On those insulation boards, a Chase Meadow extension floor starts from about 35mm of floating liquid screed. Where pipes are clipped down first, 25mm has to clear them, so the total climbs to 45 to 50mm, and the screed wraps every pipe with no trapped air to slow the warm-up. Pipe depths and commissioning are covered on Warwick underfloor heating screed.

Two binders are on offer, calcium sulphate and cement. Dry living spaces commonly get calcium sulphate, while a utility or shower area that might get wet is better with a cement based flowing mix. The specification side, with grades and laitance, is on our anhydrite screed page for Warwick.

Older houses can take liquid screed too, as long as the base is sound and the room is sealed so the screed cannot run away under doors or into gaps.

Pumping into Warwick flats and older streets

The pump stays outside with the mixer, and a hose carries the screed in. That makes it possible to pour an upper floor or a room at the back of a house without barrowing anything through. Purpose-built flats are 18% of Warwick's homes, and many flats have been built in the last decade. In a block, the hose runs up a stairwell, but the floor build-up has to meet the building's acoustic requirements between storeys, so the resilient layer goes in before the screed.

Terraced streets bring the tightest access, with on-street parking and no side passage. In that case we sheet the hallway and bring the hose in through the front door. Where the mixer will park is agreed when we price.

After the pour, walkable in 24 to 48 hours is the easy part. Readiness for the floor finish arrives far later, at a pace near one day per mm for 40mm. A moisture test, not the date, decides when flooring goes down.

FAQs

Liquid Screed in Warwick: your questions

Can liquid screed be laid in a Warwick flat with neighbours below?

Yes, with the right build-up. Many Warwick flats were built in the last decade and have acoustic requirements between floors, so a resilient layer or acoustic insulation goes under the screed to stop sound passing through. The screed itself is pumped up from street level. Calcium sulphate types stay out of wet rooms.

Will liquid screed crack in a large Warwick extension?

It shrinks far less than sand and cement, which is one reason it suits large open floors with few joints. Cracks usually come from a poor base, a badly planned joint layout, or turning the heating up too fast. Getting the edge strip, joints and heat-up schedule right avoids most of them.

What is the minimum depth for liquid screed?

A Warwick house floor floating on insulation starts at about 35mm; shops and offices start nearer 40mm. Heating pipes push it up, since 25mm must sit over them, so expect 45 to 50mm in all. For a Warwick floor, we set the depth from your insulation and the finished floor level you need to meet.
