Lapford builders pick liquid screed because it pours fast, dries faster and leaves a floor that tile and engineered timber actually want to bond to.
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.
Most of our Lapford jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Lapford sits Exeter (16 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
Built for Lapford homeowners and contractors alike
Lapford runs a healthy mix of residential renovation and small-to-medium commercial fit-out. We price both, and run both with the same fixed-price approach.

Liquid Screed in Lapford — 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.

Lapford screed questions, answered
What depth do you lay to?+
30mm minimum bonded, 35-40mm unbonded, 50mm+ over UFH pipes. We'll spec the right depth for your Lapford build-up.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Lapford?+
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 Lapford 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 Lapford 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 Lapford pour in the colder months.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Lapford?+
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 Lapford 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.
