Across Ide 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 Ide jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Ide sits Exeter (2 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Liquid Screed in Ide — 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.
Right fit for Ide homeowners and self-builders
Ide is residential-heavy, with renovation, extension and self-build briefs dominating the diary. We work directly with homeowners and their builders, with a single point of contact for the screed package.

What backs our Ide work
Ide screed questions, answered
Can other trades work above while you pour?+
We prefer the floor area cleared on pour day, but trades can work in unrelated areas. We'll set out a sensible plan with your site manager.
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 Ide site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Ide?+
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 Ide 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 Ide 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.
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.
