Screeding Contractors in Sussex
K M Flow Screed installs liquid screed, self levelling compound and underfloor heating from our base in Frimley Green, using our own fleet of ready mix trucks and the same materials on every job, our own self levelling compounds, acrylic primer sealers and rapid setting mortar included.
Older solid floors are common in this part of the country, and a lot of them were laid decades ago with little or no insulation underneath. When we relay a floor like this we will usually talk through adding an insulation layer as part of the job, since the cost of doing it while the floor is already being dug up is far lower than coming back to it later.

Liquid screed, self levelling compound and underfloor heating make up the bulk of what we do here, using acrylic primer sealers and rapid setting mortar from our own stock. Here is what each one actually involves.
Liquid Screed
Cement, water and additives combine into a self levelling mix that gets pumped and spread across the floor, leaving it smooth without the effort a hand mixed screed takes. Where an older solid floor is being dug out and replaced, this is usually the point we add an insulation layer beneath the new screed, since digging the floor out is already most of the work involved. It is generally walkable within 24 to 48 hours of the pour.
Underfloor Heating
In a lot of cases underfloor heating goes in at the same time as we are replacing an old, uninsulated solid floor, since both jobs mean digging out the existing surface anyway, so it makes sense to do them together rather than as two separate projects later on. We install and repair both wet, hydronic systems and dry, electric systems, using thermal imaging equipment to track down faults quickly on existing systems, whether that is an air lock, a wiring issue, or a stubborn zone that will not heat up.
A lot of the properties we work on out this way have an older solid floor that was never insulated when it went in, which means as well as levelling things out we are often improving the floor’s insulation value at the same time. Whether that is a farmhouse, a converted barn or a full new build, the same trained crew and fleet of ready mix trucks handles it start to finish.
At K M Flow Screed, we treat every client with equal care and attention, regardless of the size of the project. We provide personalised services tailored to your specific needs, and our portfolio of completed work spans everything from single room flow screeding jobs in Farnborough homes to large scale commercial and retail developments. We supply and pour screed for new floors ready for underfloor heating and tiled flooring alike.

Underfloor Heating Screed
Screed depth over underfloor heating pipework is not something to guess at. Too thin, and the system loses efficiency. Too thick, and everything takes far longer to heat and dry. Our standard is 50 to 55mm of liquid screed over the pipework, rising to a minimum of 65mm where a hand mixed screed is used, always over a slab with proper insulation beneath it, particularly important if the floor had none before.
Self-Levelling Compound
Not every uneven floor needs a full screed and an insulation upgrade. Where the existing solid floor is in reasonable condition, self levelling compound can even things out in a fraction of the depth, sometimes as little as an eighth of an inch, ahead of new flooring going down. It sets quickly, so it needs an experienced team handling it. We lay it over screed, concrete or timber, ready for carpet, tile, LVT or wood.
FAQs
You can normally walk on liquid screed within 24 to 48 hours of it being poured, depending on the thickness of the layer and the conditions on site. That is just the start of the process though. Full drying, meaning the point where the floor is ready for tiles, wood or other coverings, takes considerably longer , and we will always give you a realistic drying schedule for your specific job rather than a generic figure.
For most Farnborough jobs we install liquid screed at 50 to 55mm over underfloor heating pipework, which keeps the layer thin enough for efficient heat transfer while still protecting the pipes properly. Where a hand mixed screed is being used instead of liquid, the minimum depth increases to 65mm. The exact depth always depends on the pipe spacing and the insulation beneath the slab, which we assess on site before quoting.
Yes. Self levelling compound is designed to go over existing screed, concrete or timber floors, and is one of the main reasons it is so useful for renovation projects in Farnborough where ripping out the existing floor is not practical. It can be applied in layers as thin as an eighth of an inch, so it is often the quickest way to get an uneven floor ready for new carpet, tile, LVT or wood.
Yes, we carry out both. Common problems we are called out for include air locked pipes, wiring faults, worn out heating pumps and individual zones that will not heat up properly. We use thermal imaging equipment to find the exact source of the problem before starting any repair work, which keeps disruption to your Farnborough property to a minimum.
Yes, there is no charge and no obligation for a quote. We will visit the property, assess what is needed, and give you a clear price and timescale before any work is agreed.
