Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Types of Projects Covered
- Can you handle projects in remote, hilly, or difficult-to-access locations?
Yes. A significant number of our projects take place in challenging access areas, such as rural hill farms, narrow valley roadways, and secluded barn conversions. Using our specialist mobile pump technology (such as Putzmeister SP11 and SP25 pumps) and flexible high-pressure hoses, we can pump liquid screed over long distances and through narrow site entrances with ease.
- What types of properties and developments do you work on?
We cater to both private domestic clients and commercial contractors across a wide variety of project types, including:
-
New Build Developments: Large-scale floor screeding for custom self-builds, multi-unit housing, and property developments.
-
Home Extensions & Orangeries: Tailored pours for ground-floor extensions, sunrooms, and orangery bases.
-
Renovations & Alterations: Internal floor levelling and subfloor preparation during property refurbishments.
-
Barn Conversions & Heritage Buildings: Specialised precision screeding designed for irregular historic footings and barn conversions.
-
Multi-Layer Systems: Screed installations laid over insulation, acoustic layers, or damp-proof membranes across large floor areas (100m²+).
-
- Do you handle small domestic jobs as well as large commercial pours?
Yes, no job is too small or too large. We handle everything from small room renovations (such as kitchen extensions or garage conversions in Cardiff) to large-volume, fast-pour commercial projects (such as multi-room new builds requiring specialist Putzmeister SP25 pumping equipment).
- Do you offer full site preparation before pouring the screed?
Yes. We offer complete end-to-end packages that include site prep, laying damp-proof membranes (DPM), fitting thermal/acoustic floor insulation, installing perimeter expansion strips, and pouring the liquid screed.
- Can you install screed over Underfloor Heating (UFH)?
Yes, UFH projects are one of our primary specialities. Liquid screed fully encapsulates underfloor heating pipework, eliminating air pockets to provide optimal heat conduction and thermal efficiency.
- What if my project requires a very thin screed depth?
We offer thin-section precision levelling screeds. These ultra-thin liquid screeds are ideal for renovation projects with low floor threshold limits or where maximising floor-to-ceiling height is essential.
- Do you offer fast-drying screed options for tight deadlines?
Yes. For projects requiring rapid turnaround times, we supply and apply fast-drying cementitious liquid screeds (such as Tarmac Screed C-Cure or Longfloor). These enable quicker foot traffic and faster installation of final floor coverings like tile, wood, or LVT.
- Do you carry out external concrete work or groundwork?
While our main focus is liquid floor screeding, our team also carries out groundwork and external concrete pours, such as concrete footings, foundations, and concrete parking bays/driveways. Whether you require footing pours, or full groundwork preparation, Our team is equipped with the skills and equipment to meet your project’s requirements on time and to the highest standard.
- General & Services
- What is liquid floor screed and how does it work?
Liquid floor screed (also known as flow screed or liquid screed) is a pumpable flooring compound designed to create a smooth, perfectly level base for final floor coverings. Unlike traditional semi-dry sand and cement, liquid screed flows quickly around obstacles and pipework to eliminate air pockets, delivering superior flatness and finish.
- What services do Liquid Screed Specialists provide?
We offer a complete floor levelling service, including:
-
Full Supply, Pump & Finish Packages: We handle the supply, pumping, levelling, and smoothing of liquid screed.
-
Liquid Screed Pump Hire: Separate hire of our specialist pumping equipment (including pressure-tested Putzmeister SP11 pumps).
-
Expert Technical Advice: Tailored recommendations on the best screed product for your specific project (e.g., fast-drying or high-thermal-efficiency options).
-
- What areas do you cover?
Based in South Wales, we regularly cover:
-
South & West Wales (e.g., Cardiff, Penarth, Pontypridd, Carmarthenshire, Brecon, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Vale of Glamorgan, Neath Port Talbot, Newport)
-
The South West of England
-
Along the M4 Corridor
-
The Midlands
We work with self-builders, domestic homeowners, and small-to-large building contractors across all these regions.

- Benefits & Applications
- Why choose liquid screed over traditional sand and cement?
Why choose liquid screed over traditional sand and cement?
Liquid screed offers several significant advantages:
-
Speed of Application: Poured and finished significantly faster than traditional screeds.
-
Superior Finish: Achieves high surface precision, flatness, and smoothness.
-
Thinner Depths: Can be laid at lower thicknesses without compromising strength.
-
Zero Air Voids: Completely encapsulates underfloor heating pipes for maximum heat transference.
-
Reduced Risk of Shrinkage: Minimal cracking and movement compared to standard mortar mixes.
-
- Is liquid screed suitable for Underfloor Heating (UFH)?
Yes, it is ideal for underfloor heating. Because liquid screed is fluid, it flows closely around heating pipes, removing insulating air gaps. This allows heat to transfer into your room faster and more efficiently, saving energy and reducing running costs.
- Can liquid screed be used on projects with tight or difficult access?
Yes. Using specialised pumps like our Putzmeister SP11 and flexible pipeline setups, we can pump liquid screed across long distances, around tight corners, through narrow pathways, or into elevated/basement areas where traditional ready-mix deliveries cannot reach.
- Preparation & Drying Times
- What site preparation is needed before pouring liquid screed?
Before pouring, the building envelope should be weather-tight (roof, doors, and windows installed). The floor sub-base must be tanked with a waterproof membrane (polythene), perimeter expansion insulation strip installed around the walls, and any underfloor heating pipes securely fixed down to prevent floating during the pour. We are happy to advise your building team on best-practice prep before we arrive.
- How long does liquid screed take to dry before walking on it?
-
Foot Traffic: Liquid screed can typically withstand light foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours after pouring.
-
Final Floor Coverings: Full drying times depend on floor thickness, ambient temperature, humidity, and the specific product used. Standard screeds dry at approximately 1mm per day up to 40mm. However, we also supply fast-drying screed options (such as Tarmac Screed C-Cure or Longfloor) if you are working to tight project timelines.

Google Reviews
Very professional, clean and 1st rate quality, plus a competitive price.
Nice to see that they're also training/teaching an apprentice as well, and Shaun No2 has the 'get on with it ethos'.
Overall Liquid Screeding Specialists are well worthy of their recommendation to me, and I would and will pass that recommendation onwards.
Well done guys, and happy customer
Andy.
