Flats, extensions and new homes across Winchester
Any floor that is big, open or awkward to reach with a barrow is a candidate for a pumped screed. Up in a flat, the hose climbs the stairwell or comes in at a window, and the whole apartment can be poured in one session. In a house the usual example is a single-storey extension, or a knock-through that turns two rooms into one large kitchen and living area; there, the screed levels itself across the whole space without the joints a hand-laid floor would need.
Recent houses point the same way. Since 2000, 18% of the city's homes have gone up, and a modern ground floor laid over insulation, sometimes with the heating pipes already clipped in, is ready-made for a flowing screed. If yours is heated, our page on screeding over Winchester heating pipes covers how much cover the pipes need and how the first warm-up should go.
The surface it leaves is the real selling point. Reaching SR1 or SR2 is straightforward, which is what large format tiles and LVT want. Then there is depth. A Winchester house with liquid floated over its insulation needs only about 35mm, against roughly 65mm if it were sand and cement, and that margin can be what lets a new floor meet the doorway of the original rooms flush.
Some liquid screeds use a calcium sulphate binder and others use cement; we choose according to whether the floor might get wet and how quickly it needs covering. Our guide setting pumped screed against the hand-laid kind compares the two, and pumped floors in Eastleigh are priced the same way.
Pumping into older streets near the Winchester centre
The mixer and pump stay on the street side, and the hose comes in through the closest door or window. Near the centre, kerb space outside the house is usually what limits us, so let us know about parking bays, restrictions and tight access when you get in touch. The hose itself can cover a good distance, along a hallway or up a flight of stairs, as long as the way through is clear and protected.
How the equipment is arranged, and how much room it takes, is explained on our pumped screed service page. The pump is our own and travels with the crew; pumps and machines are not something we rent out.
Before any screed flows, the room is sealed: a perimeter strip lines each wall, the insulation is covered with a membrane whose joints are all taped, and every doorway is dammed. We check it all when we arrive. Walking over it is fine by the second day. Flooring is another matter, held back by drying that runs at roughly one millimetre a day until the first 40mm are dry. Until it has properly hardened, keep barrows, ladders and piles of materials off it.
