We pump Cemfloor calcium-sulphate screed from a static mixer into your building, level it with a dappling bar, and walk away with a floor that's typically dry enough for floor coverings in roughly one day per millimetre of depth.
Most of our Bideford jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Bideford sits Barnstaple (10 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Liquid Screed in Bideford — how it works
Unlike a traditional sand-and-cement screed, you'll be back on the floor in 24-48 hours rather than a week, and the surface is flat enough to lay LVT or large-format tile without further latex.

Common Bideford build questions
Do you sand the floor afterwards?+
On calcium-sulphate screeds we sand off the surface laitance roughly 5-7 days after the pour, before any floor coverings go down.
Can you pour in cold weather?+
Yes, with the right ambient control. We won't pour below 5°C and we'll discuss frost protection for any Bideford pour in the colder months.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Bideford?+
Light foot traffic from 24-48 hours after the pour. Heavy loading, follow-on trades and final floor coverings depend on depth and ambient conditions — we leave you with clear drying guidance for your specific Bideford job.
Can liquid screed go over an existing concrete slab?+
Yes — typically unbonded over a DPM and slip membrane, from 35mm. We'll assess the substrate at the Bideford site visit.
Does liquid screed crack like sand-and-cement?+
Calcium-sulphate and modern cement-based liquid screeds have very low drying shrinkage. With proper edge isolation and joints at doorways, cracking is rare.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Bideford?+
Not necessarily — we usually agree access with the main contractor or self-builder and run the pour with our own team. We'll confirm the Bideford access route, pump position and waste route before the day.
