Self levelling liquid screed offers considerable benefits compared to traditional screeding. Applied using a pump and containing special binders, this screed boasts enhanced flow and strength. Its remarkable self levelling capability creates an exceptionally flat and smooth surface, crucial for contemporary flooring options like large-format tiles or luxury vinyl tile (LVT).
For builders and renovators throughout Berkshire, this translates to quicker project completion, a decreased chance of shrinkage cracks, and a consistently robust and reliable floor foundation. Enquire about our fast-drying screed options for even speedier project timelines.

When you work with us, you can expect:
Is liquid floor screed really the best choice for my underfloor heating?
Absolutely, self levelling liquid screed is a fantastic partner for underfloor heating systems. Its fluid nature allows it to flow effortlessly around all the heating pipes, ensuring they are completely encased without any air pockets. This complete coverage provides exceptional thermal conductivity, meaning your underfloor heating will warm up quicker and operate more efficiently, saving you money. For optimal performance from your underfloor heating investment, we highly recommend thermal liquid screed. It’s specifically designed to maximise heat transfer, leading to a noticeably more comfortable home and reduced energy bills.
How soon can I walk on my new liquid screed floor, and when can I start tiling?
Normally you can carefully walk on a standard liquid screed floor after about 24 to 48 hours. This timeframe can vary slightly depending on the conditions within your Berkshire property, such as the temperature and humidity levels. When it comes to tiling, liquid screed typically requires several weeks to dry thoroughly. If you’re working to a tight schedule, please ask us about our rapid-drying screed options. These advanced formulas significantly reduce drying times, often allowing you to apply your chosen floor finishes much sooner.
What do I need to do to prepare before your team arrives to lay the liquid screed?
We’ll provide you with detailed instructions, but the key thing is to ensure the subfloor is structurally sound and completely clear of any loose materials or debris. Any insulation boards need to be laid flat and securely fixed, and a polythene membrane must be correctly installed, running up the edges of the walls to create a watertight barrier, like a tank, to contain the liquid screed while it sets. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through every step of this process, so you’ll have all the help and advice you need.
How thick will the liquid screed be, and will it be perfectly level?
The required thickness for a self levelling liquid screed will depend on the specific product used and the overall construction of your floor. However, it’s usually laid between 40mm and 75mm. For floors with underfloor heating, we always ensure a sufficient depth, usually around 50-55mm, to properly surround the heating pipes.
You can absolutely expect your floor to be perfectly level. The inherent fluidity of the screed means it naturally flows to find its own level, resulting in a very flat and smooth surface (typically achieving an SR2 finish or better) across the entire area. This precise level surface created by the liquid screed is ideal for receiving all types of floor finishes, from tiles to wood.
