Liquid Screed in Wimborne Minster

Flats, extensions and new-build ground floors around Wimborne Minster are where our pumped screed goes. Purpose-built flats make up 17% of homes in the town, and a pumped screed reaches upper floors easily and covers a whole apartment in one visit. It also suits the extensions going onto post-war family homes in Colehill and around Leigh Park, walkable within 24 to 48 hours.

Liquid screed for flats and new homes in Wimborne Minster

A purpose-built flat usually has a large, open floor with few changes of level, often over insulation and sometimes over heating. Liquid screed suits that well. It flows across the whole area, levels itself and settles to a surface regularity of SR1 or SR2, so the flooring fitter starts with a flat base.

The same qualities help on the new homes at Leigh Road, Wimborne Chase and Rivers Edge, where underfloor heating screeds are most common. Because the mix closes round every pipe with no hollow spots, a Rivers Edge or Wimborne Chase ground floor warms up quicker. For pipe cover and commissioning, see our underfloor heating screed page for Wimborne Minster.

Floated on insulation, we pour from roughly 35mm in a flat or house, and from 40mm in shops and offices. Shrinkage is slight, so even a long open-plan flat gets by with only a few joints.

There are two broad families. Calcium sulphate liquid screeds are widely used in dry rooms over heating, and cement based liquid screeds are used where a cement substrate is needed. We recommend one for the room and floor finish rather than pushing a single product.

Some Wimborne rooms still suit the old way. A wet room with falls or a small cupboard of a space is usually better in sand and cement. Our liquid or sand and cement explainer helps you choose.

Pump positions for Colehill and Leigh Park extensions

An extension on a post-war family home in Colehill or around Leigh Park can open the back of the house into one large kitchen and family room. A single pour covers that floor in a day, and the room can take foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours.

Round Colehill and Leigh Park the pump normally waits on the drive or by the kerb, and the hose goes in by a side gate or straight through the hall. For one of the town's flats, we run the hose up the shared stairwell, or feed it through an upper window. In the older town centre, space outside may be tighter, so tell us about parking and access when you send the details.

Before we arrive, the insulation and edge strip should be down and the room closed to draughts. Once it is down, leave the doors and windows closed for a day or two before airing the room. Plan on around 40 days of drying for a 40mm floor in a Colehill extension.

Where a builder has laid the build-up and only needs the screed pumped in, our screed pumping service covers that. Liquid screed is also laid in nearby Ferndown.

FAQs

Liquid Screed in Wimborne Minster: your questions

Can liquid screed be pumped to a second floor flat in Wimborne Minster?

Yes. The hose can run up a stairwell or through a window to reach upper floors, and the pour is usually completed in one visit. We need to know about access to the building, where the mixer can park and whether other residents share the entrance, so the route can be protected and planned.

How flat is liquid screed once it has set?

Very flat. Flat enough for most flats in town: SR1 or SR2 is readily achievable with a pumped pour. In plain terms, the biggest dip under a 2m rule will be 3mm or 5mm at most. That suits most tiles, LVT and engineered wood with little or no extra levelling. The laitance on a calcium sulphate screed still needs sanding off before flooring.

Do I need liquid screed or concrete for a Colehill extension floor?

Usually both play a part. The builder lays a concrete slab or beam and block floor as the structure, then insulation goes on top and the screed finishes it. A liquid screed gives a flat, dense surface ready for flooring and suits underfloor heating. It is a finishing layer, not a replacement for the slab.
