Liquid Screed in Countess Wear — how it works
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.
The screed arrives ready-mixed on a truck, gets pumped through a hose to wherever it's needed in the building, and self-levels to within a couple of millimetres across the room. We spike-roll it to release air, then leave it.

Countess Wear screed questions, answered
What's the cost difference vs traditional screed?+
Per square metre liquid screed is a little more expensive, but the labour saving, speed and flatness usually make total project cost lower — especially on larger Countess Wear jobs.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Countess Wear?+
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 Countess Wear 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 Countess Wear site visit.
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 Countess Wear pour in the colder months.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Countess Wear?+
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 Countess Wear access route, pump position and waste route before the day.
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.
