Liquid Screed Contractors in Yateley

A mixer outside pumps liquid screed into Yateley homes, so the floor of a wraparound extension, or a ground floor that has been opened up, goes down in a single visit and can be walked on after 24 to 48 hours. House size is the local detail that counts. Detached houses are 35% of Yateley's homes, and extending one around the back and side leaves a big open floor that a flowing screed covers much faster than hand-laying.

Big open floors in Yateley extensions

Pumped screed comes into its own on broad, open floors. It settles flat on its own, gets to SR1 or SR2 without much effort and moves so little while it cures that a big floor needs far fewer joints than sand and cement would. An L-shaped extension wrapping round a kitchen, dining area and family room is a textbook example.

The hard part of any extension is where it meets the house. The new floor has to finish at precisely the same height, so we take the depth from the existing floor before insulation goes in. In a Yateley extension where the overall height is fixed, a floating liquid screed of about 35mm, instead of about 65mm of sand and cement, frees up depth for thicker insulation.

Yateley has few new homes: 6% have been built since 2000. So most of the flowing screed here goes into extensions and remodels of older houses, not new plots.

With heating pipes involved, read our page on screed over Yateley underfloor heating, since the cover over the pipes and the warm-up schedule govern how the floor performs.

There are two binders to choose between, calcium sulphate and cement, and the choice hangs on two questions: could the floor ever see water, and how soon does your flooring have to go down? Our guide weighing up pumped screed against sand and cement sets the two side by side in plain terms.

Pump access at Yateley homes

Our equipment is parked outside the house, and the hose runs in to the room, normally through the front or back door. A driveway keeps it simple. If the only space is on the road, tell us about parking, grass verges and any shared access when you request a price, so we can position the equipment without holding up the neighbours any longer than necessary. If an upstairs room is part of the job, the hose can go up the stairs too.

The room has to be sealed before we pour: a perimeter strip on every wall, the insulation sheeted with membrane and taped along each joint, and the doorways dammed. We check it all on the day, and our pumping service page shows how the pump is set up.

You can walk on the floor within a couple of days, but that does not make it dry. Count on roughly one day of drying for every millimetre up to 40mm, and more than that per millimetre beyond it, and test before any flooring is laid. We work the same way for pumped screed in Sandhurst, less than a mile away.

FAQs

Liquid Screed in Yateley: your questions

Is liquid screed worth it for a small Yateley extension?

That depends on how big the room is and what shape it is. Measured per square metre, liquid usually comes out dearer, £24 to £31 on the 2026 UK published figures, while sand and cement sits lower at £18 to £25. In a small, simple room, the hand-laid option often costs less. On a big open floor, the speed, thinner build and flatness of liquid usually make it worth the extra.

How long does liquid screed take to set enough to walk on?

You can usually tread on it carefully at 24 to 48 hours. Heavy loads, trade equipment and stacks of materials should stay off for longer. Firm underfoot can still mean damp inside, so the flooring date is set by a moisture test. For the first day, keep the room shut and free of draughts so the top dries at an even rate.

Can liquid screed be poured over old floor tiles in a Yateley kitchen?

Pouring a floating screed directly over tiles is not usually the way. We would start by checking what state the old floor is in. If it is sound, a bonded screed or levelling compound might work; if it is hollow or crumbling, it should come out and a new build-up go in. We look at what you have before recommending anything.
