Why newer Westbury homes suit a pumped screed
A house built in the last twenty years has usually been designed with a modern floor build-up: insulation, a membrane and a relatively thin screed. Add a room onto a house like that and the extension floor must line up exactly with what is already there, a job pumped screed does neatly. Floated over insulation in a house, liquid screed can be as shallow as about 35mm, roughly half what a hand-laid floor would need. That saves height at door thresholds and keeps the step into the garden where the builder planned it.
Open-plan rooms are where it earns its place. The screed flows across the whole area, finds its own level and can reach SR1 or SR2 flatness readily, ready for tiles, LVT or engineered wood. It shrinks very little, so there are far fewer joints to plan around, and a large kitchen and dining space can be poured in one go.
Flats are 10% of Westbury's homes. Upstairs, a pumped screed is far simpler than carrying bags and mix up a staircase, because the hose does the work.
The pumped kind is made either with a calcium sulphate binder or with cement. Picking between them comes down to the room, what flooring goes on top and how likely the floor is to see water. If your drawings name a specific calcium sulphate grade, our anhydrite and flow screed page covers that specification in detail, and our screed thickness guide compares depths for each type.
Pump access on Westbury streets and driveways
Our pump and mixer are parked outdoors and the hose is fed in at the nearest door, or a window, to reach the room being screeded. On a modern estate with off-road parking, that usually means the drive. On streets without off-road parking, the pump may have to stand on the road for the few hours the pour takes, so it helps to know about parking restrictions or tight corners in advance.
A clear, protected route lets the hose snake along a hallway or up the stairs. Before we pour, the edge strip, membrane and taped joints are checked, and doorways are dammed so the screed stays in the right room.
People can normally walk on it 24 to 48 hours later. Floor coverings wait until the screed is dry to the covering maker's limit, which takes longer on a deeper floor. Our screed pumping service explains more about how the hose reaches difficult rooms. Our pump is never hired out on its own; it arrives with the K & B crew who run it.
