New-build floor screeding
Liquid screed for new-build houses and self-builds. A whole ground floor can usually be poured in one visit, so the screed fits your build programme instead of holding it up.
Screeding that keeps the build moving
On a new build, the screed sits between the first fix and everything that follows. Liquid screed shortens that stage: the floor is pumped and levelled in a day, and Cemfloor's guidance allows light foot traffic after 24 to 48 hours.
Cemfloor allows bays of up to 150m² without joints on unheated floors and 100m² on heated floors, so a typical house ground floor can often be poured with few or no joints. Where joints are needed, such as at doorways or heating zone changes, we plan them before the pour.
We've screeded new-build floors around Bristol, including a 120m² floor on a new build in Pucklechurch and a 120m² five-bed new build over underfloor heating.
For builders and developers
- Plot-by-plot or a full phaseWe can pour single plots as they're ready, or several on consecutive days. Where the job needs it, we can lay a few hundred square metres in a day.
- Clear pre-pour requirementsYour site team gets a list of what must be ready: insulation, membrane, edge strip, heating tested, levels agreed, access and water.
- Working with your UFH installerWe'll coordinate dates so the heating is fixed, filled and pressure tested before we arrive.
- Written quotes based on your drawingsSend the floor plans and we'll price from the area and specified depth.
For self-builders
If you're managing your own build, the screed is one of the trades where the order matters. The insulation, membrane, edge strip and underfloor heating all need to be in before we pour, and the floor needs drying time before flooring goes down.
Call us early, ideally once your floor build-up is decided. We'll explain what has to be ready, confirm the depth with you and help you plan drying time into your programme.
