Across Christow we lay self-levelling Cemfloor screed at depths from 30mm, pumping straight off the truck and finishing to a true SR1 — no hand-trowelling, no cold joints.
Liquid screed bonds into a single monolithic layer with no bays, no day joints and no need for steel mesh — it's poured around any UFH pipework you've already pressure-tested.
Most of our Christow jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Christow sits Exeter (10 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Liquid Screed in Christow — 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.
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.

Common Christow 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 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 Christow site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Christow?+
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 Christow job.
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 Christow pour in the colder months.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
Yes — as a Cemfloor-certified installer, qualifying jobs are backed by a 10-year manufacturer-supported guarantee.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Christow?+
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 Christow access route, pump position and waste route before the day.
