We mobilise a static mixer and pump truck for larger Poundbury commercial sites, pumping 30-50m³ per day with a small crew. The screed is laid, levelled and spike-rolled in continuous bays of any size.

Poundbury screed questions, answered
What's the cost vs traditional screed at scale?+
On commercial jobs the speed and labour saving usually make liquid screed cheaper overall, even before counting the programme value of getting trades back faster.
Do you handle the insulation and DPM as well?+
We can — many Poundbury main contractors prefer a single sub on the floor build-up. We'll price it either way.
What's your daily output on a commercial Poundbury job?+
Typically 30-50m³ per pour day with a single team — that's roughly 600-900m² at 50mm depth. Bigger pours are coordinated with multiple deliveries.
Can you work weekends or out-of-hours in Poundbury?+
We do — retail fit-outs and live-environment jobs often need it. Weekend pours are quoted at a premium but we'll plan the programme with you.
Are you Cemfloor-certified for commercial work?+
Yes — fully certified installer, with manufacturer support on every Poundbury commercial job and the 10-year guarantee on qualifying installs.
What about phased pours on live commercial sites?+
Common in Poundbury retail work — we phase by zone, with day joints managed correctly so the finished floor still reads as one slab.
