Across Dorchester 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 Dorchester jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Dorchester sits Dorchester, and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Liquid Screed in Dorchester — how it works
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.

FAQs from Dorchester clients
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 Dorchester pour in the colder months.
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 Dorchester site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Dorchester?+
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 Dorchester job.
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 Dorchester?+
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 Dorchester access route, pump position and waste route before the day.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
Yes — as a Cemfloor-certified installer, qualifying jobs are backed by a 10-year manufacturer-supported guarantee.
From the first site visit to the final laitance sand, our Dorchester jobs are run as one fixed-price piece of work — no creeping extras.
