Pumped screed is a fluid, calcium-based mix that flows into place. It levels itself under its own weight. Our kit lets us pump into tight corners, across long distances, even up stairwells or through narrow corridors.
In Birmingham’s building climate, speed and consistency matter. Pumped screed in Birmingham gives both. It helps reduce labour hours, cuts the risk of variation, and ensures a predictable finish.
The Case for Pumped Screed in Newbury
We don’t just operate in Oxfordshire. Our reach extends to Newbury, where clients are discovering similar benefits. When comparing traditional sand-and-cement screeds in Newbury houses or commercial spaces, we consistently see:
- Uneven thicknesses or ridges
- Longer drying times
- Increased labour and scaffolding costs
- Difficulty coordinating trades
By contrast, our pumped screed in Newbury arrives ready-mixed and is deployed immediately. We precisely control the mix, delivering SR2 or better. We also ensure that the subfloor is dry, clean, primed, and ready. That preparation makes all the difference when installing the screed.
Why Leave Installation to Experts?
1. Precision in mix design
We control water content, binder ratios, and additives to get strength, shrinkage control, and flow exactly right. When amateurs guess at mix proportions, the result can crack, distort or take far too long to cure.
2. Correct substrate preparation
Before pumping, we inspect insulation, membranes, vapour barriers, and expansion joints. We clean, prime, and fix any weaknesses. Many DIY attempts skip this. That leads to voids, debonding or moisture issues later.
3. Pumping logistics
Our powered hoses maintain pressure, compensation for elevation or distance. We stage access, position hoses, and manage flow control. It’s not just pouring, it’s a choreographed movement of fluid under pressure.
4. Level finish and de-airing
Once pumped, we run a dappling bar or spike roller. That releases trapped air and helps settle the screed uniformly. The surface becomes true. Without that, pockets of air persist, causing weakness or unevenness.
5. Monitoring drying and moisture
Correct drying matters. We monitor using meters, not guesswork.
6. Compliance and quality assurance
Our methods satisfy British standards (for example, BS 8500 compliance at our concrete side) and industry norms. Clients want peace of mind. They want warranties, correct moisture levels, and documented results. We deliver that.
