Rural conversions
Liquid Screed for Barn Conversions
We know rural access, stone-wall thresholds and awkward finished-floor levels. Barn conversions are our second-biggest workload after new-build.
A barn conversion is rarely a flat rectangle. Original floor levels wander, thresholds are stone or timber, and the client usually wants underfloor heating running the length of a 25m open-plan barn.
Liquid screed handles all of that in a way traditional screed just can't. One pour, one level, one finished floor tied into every threshold at exactly the right height.
What we bring to a barn conversion
- Long-reach pipework — up to 120m from pump to pour
- Laser levels tied into original stone thresholds
- Deep-fill mixes for 100mm+ build-ups over insulation
- Care with lime-mortared walls — no aggressive edge foam or pressure
