Liquid screed for Woosehill-era rear extensions
Detached houses make up 47% of Wokingham's homes, and a detached house gives room for a generous extension: a kitchen, dining and family space across the back, often knocked through to the original rooms. That is a large floor to lay, and liquid screed is designed for exactly that.
It is pumped straight from the mixer, flows across the whole area and is dappled level by hand, so a floor that would take days to lay traditionally is poured in one. A pour like that can reach the SR1 or SR2 flatness classes without fuss. At SR1 a 2m straightedge shows a gap of 3mm at most, enough for large format tiles and LVT with little extra preparation.
It can also be thinner. Floating on insulation in a house, liquid can be as shallow as about 35mm, while sand and cement in that position needs 65mm. On a big extension that has to meet the original floor level, the saved depth lets more insulation go underneath. And because liquid screed shrinks very little, a wide room needs far fewer joints.
Heating is another reason to choose it. Plenty of these houses also get a ground-floor refit with underfloor heating, and pumped screed wraps every pipe without leaving voids, so the room warms up sooner. Pipe cover and heat-up are covered on the heated screed page for Wokingham. Liquid screeds come as calcium sulphate or cement based products; the cement based kind is the one for floors that may get wet.
Pumping, drying and upper floors in Wokingham
Our pump and mixer stand at the front, with the hose taken through the house or down a side passage to the room being poured. On a detached house there is often a route round the side; if not, the hose goes through the hall with the floors protected. We ask about distance, gates and parking when we price, so the day runs to plan. An operator comes with the pump as part of the job; we do not hire machines or pumps out. More on how the pump side works is on our screed pumping page.
35% of Wokingham's homes were built between 1973 and 1999, and a refit of a house that age can reach beyond the ground floor. Upper floors can be poured with the hose run up the stairs, as long as the structure is designed for a screed.
Being able to walk on it after 24 to 48 hours is not the same as the floor being ready for its covering. Drying takes around one day per millimetre up to 40mm, then slows down past that depth. Our guide on screed drying times explains how ventilation and heating affect it. Next door in Bracknell, see pumped liquid screed for Bracknell.
