Powderham 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 Powderham jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Powderham sits Exeter (7 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Liquid Screed in Powderham — 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.
Who this is for in Powderham
Powderham 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.

Common Powderham build questions
How long does a Powderham pour take?+
A typical domestic floor of 80-120m² is pumped, levelled and finished in a single morning. We coordinate access and pump position with you in advance.
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 Powderham site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Powderham?+
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 Powderham 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 Powderham pour in the colder months.
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Powderham?+
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 Powderham 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.
