Sowton 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 Sowton jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Sowton sits Exeter (3 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.

Liquid Screed in Sowton — how it works
Liquid screed bonds into a single monolithic layer with no bays, no day joints and no need for steel mesh — it's poured around any UFH pipework you've already pressure-tested.

What people in Sowton usually ask
Do I need to be on site for the pour in Sowton?+
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 Sowton access route, pump position and waste route before the day.
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 Sowton 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 Sowton site visit.
How quickly can I walk on a liquid screed floor in Sowton?+
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 Sowton job.
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.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
Yes — as a Cemfloor-certified installer, qualifying jobs are backed by a 10-year manufacturer-supported guarantee.
