Liquid screed in Instow solves what sand-and-cement struggles with — SR1 flatness in a single pour, ready for tilers and joiners within days rather than weeks.
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.
Most of our Instow jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Instow sits Barnstaple (8 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Liquid Screed in Instow — 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.

What backs our Instow work
Instow 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 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 Instow 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 Instow site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Instow?+
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 Instow job.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Instow?+
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 Instow 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.
If you're planning Liquid Screed in Instow, the brief almost always comes down to flatness, dry-time and access — get those right and the trades behind you stay on programme.
