Extensions and open kitchens in Broadwater and Goring
A semi or bungalow in Broadwater or Goring, or on the post-war estates west of the town, often ends up with a rear extension joined to the old kitchen. That creates one long floor, sometimes with heating pipes clipped down across it, and this is the floor liquid screed suits.
It turns up mixed, in a lorry parked outside, and the pump drives it down a hose into the back of the house. It flows out across the insulation, around any pipes and into corners, and is then dappled to release air and settle flat. That routinely gets the surface to SR1 or SR2, and because the material hardly shrinks, a long Goring kitchen running out to the garden doors can go down with only a handful of joints.
Depth is the other gain. On domestic insulation it floats at around 35mm, whereas the traditional mix starts nearer 65mm. Thirty millimetres sounds trivial, yet on a Broadwater extension joining the original kitchen at the knock-through, it can be the gap between a level threshold and a step.
Semis account for 24% of Worthing's housing, and pouring the extension on one of them is a single-visit job. Pumped screeds split into cement based and calcium sulphate families; the second gets fuller treatment, grades and testing included, on our Worthing anhydrite page. If you are weighing the two methods for a Worthing kitchen, read liquid screed against sand and cement first.
Getting the hose to a Worthing room
The pump stands outside, and the hose travels from there to the room. On a bungalow with a driveway that run is short. On a terrace of parked cars, or for a flat on an upper floor, it needs more planning: where the mixer lorry can wait, how the hose crosses the pavement, and which route through the building is clear.
Upper floors are where pumping helps most. In a converted building with a shared staircase, hauling tonnes of mix up by hand takes hours of heavy work, whereas the hose just runs up beside the banister. Tell us the floor level and whether there is a lift or a shared hallway when you ask for a price.
Get three things ready ahead of us: foam edge strip right round the room, the insulation sheeted over with its seams taped, and a stop fixed across each doorway. With the screed in, a sea breeze through an open window is the enemy, so keep everything shut for the first couple of days. Walkable is not the same as dry: allow roughly a day per millimetre for the first 40mm before most floor coverings go down.
Where the mixer cannot get near the house, see our screed pumping service. For a floor about 4.5 miles away, there is a separate page on liquid screed in Shoreham-by-Sea.
