Rear & side extensions
Liquid Screed for House Extensions
Small-footprint pours done properly. We turn up, pour 20–60m² in an hour, and leave you a laser-flat floor to tile onto.
Extensions are where liquid screed pays for itself. The area is small, but the finished-floor level has to marry into the existing house perfectly — and traditional sand-and-cement rarely does that without a lot of grinding.
A poured screed lands flat, ties into the existing threshold at exactly the right level, and doesn't hold up the rest of the trades.
Extension screed choice
Liquid screed
- 20–60m² in an hour
- Marries to existing FFL exactly
- SR1 for large-format tile
- UFH runs at spec depth
Sand and cement
- Half a day of hand-laying
- SR2 at best — needs latex before tiling
- 65–75mm cover over UFH
- Prone to shrinkage cracks
Common extension screed jobs we do
- Kitchen-diner rear extensions with wet UFH
- Side-return kitchens tying into the existing hall
- Garden rooms and orangeries
- Basement dig-outs with a poured raft above tanking
Half the extension screed jobs we're called into as a rescue are because someone poured sand-and-cement over UFH at 50mm and the room won't heat up. Get the depth and cover right at spec stage.
