• I'd definitely try and ask for quicker drying screed if I move and renovate/extend again.

    Various knock on effects of having big gaps between plumbers/electricians/kitchen fitters/carpenters means that I've had the kitchen installed now for almost a month, and the plumber is coming to connect gas hob, complete sink and plumbing work only this Friday.
    And I've missed the window of time for our decorator who is now on 2 weeks holiday, and has a 2 week job booked in somewhere else when he gets back.

  • Yep, ours was a nightmare, we have the pumped in liquid screed to cover the UFH. From memory it took nearly 4 months until it was ready for the flooring, in the end we ended up installing the kitchen before the flooring, which means if we ever want to move our island we will have to patch the flooring.

    We ended up moving in and living on a dusty floor for a couple of months, was not fun!

  • After watching too many YouTube videos I thought they would pump the screed in, but instead I had a couple of sweaty guys with wheelbarrows and and a screed guy who had finished by 11:30am.

    Lo-tech still works I guess!
