Liquid screed in Kenton 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 Kenton jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Kenton sits Exeter (8 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Liquid Screed in Kenton — 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 Kenton 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 Kenton site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Kenton?+
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 Kenton 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 Kenton pour in the colder months.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Kenton?+
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 Kenton 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.
