One team for your liquid floor screed
Roberts Concrete Pumping is run by a family in Cheshire. When you book liquid screed in Heswall with us, the same crew brings the material, runs the hose and levels the floor, so nobody is passing the job between a supplier and a separate installer. As well as the Wirral, we work across Cheshire, the rest of Merseyside, Greater Manchester and over the Welsh border.
A liquid screed is a runny, self-levelling mix. It arrives ready to pump, flows across the insulation or slab and settles flat, which makes it a natural partner for underfloor heating and for large, open rooms where a hand-laid floor would take days to get level.
Most enquiries come to us through a builder, a heating installer or a supplier who wants the floor done properly and on time. The questions are nearly always the same: is the build-up right, can the pump get close enough, and when is the earliest date that suits everyone else on site. We answer those before anything is booked.

Where it's used
Jobs we pour liquid screed for
Rear and side extensions
Open-plan kitchens and family rooms where the new floor has to meet the existing house at exactly the right height.
Underfloor heating floors
The mix runs under and around every pipe, so there are no voids and the warmth spreads evenly through the slab.
Refurbishments
Older houses having floors taken up, insulated and relaid as part of a bigger renovation.
Builders and developers
Contractors who need a pour date that slots into the programme, whether it is one house or a handful of plots.

Liquid screed for Heswall's detached homes and extensions
Heswall's housing is unusual for the Wirral. In the 2021 Census, around 72% of homes in the Gayton and Lower Heswall area were detached, against about 17% across Wirral as a whole. Bigger houses tend to mean bigger floors, and that is where pumped liquid screed earns its keep: a large open-plan ground floor can be poured in one go rather than laid by hand a bay at a time.
The local planning register tells the same story. Recent householder applications across Heswall, Pensby, Thingwall and Irby are dominated by single and two-storey extensions, with the occasional older bungalow being replaced by a new house or a plot taken on as a self-build. Those are exactly the kinds of new floors liquid screed suits, with or without underfloor heating.
The town also sits on a hillside. Wirral Council's appraisal of the Lower Village describes land rising from about 10m above sea level to almost 100m, with steep, narrow lanes cut into the sandstone. Sloping drives and tight lanes are why we ask about access early: the vehicle parks where it safely can, and the hose is run from there to the floor.
We are not based in Heswall. We drive over from Cheshire via Chester, the M53 and junction 4, and plan each pour around your site and your other trades.
How it works
What happens from first call to finished floor
Tell us about the job
Phone or WhatsApp with the postcode, the rough floor size in m2, whether UFH is going in and the date you are aiming for.
We check it is ready
We go through the insulation, edge strip, membrane and any heating pipework so the floor can take a liquid screed.
The pour
On the day we pump the screed in and level it, working around whoever else needs to be on site.
Aftercare
We leave you with clear advice on drying and on when the floor will be ready for tiles, timber or vinyl.
Before pour day
Agreed with you before a date is fixed
- How big the floor is, and where the vehicle can park
- That the insulation, edging and membrane are ready for screed
- Whether there is underfloor heating to cover
- Timing, so the pour fits around your builder and other trades
When liquid screed makes sense
- Large or open-plan floors that need to finish dead flat
- Rooms with underfloor heating pipes to cover
- Extensions and self-builds working to a firm programme
- Houses where a mixer cannot get close to the room
When it may not suit
- The insulation, edging or membrane is not finished yet
- Nobody can commit to a pour date with the other trades
- You are looking to hire equipment without an operator
If a different approach would work better for your floor, we will say so at the start.

Honest about fit

Questions
Liquid screed in Heswall: common questions
Do you lay liquid screed in Heswall and the villages around it?
Yes. We cover all of Heswall, including Lower Heswall and Gayton, plus Pensby, Thingwall, Barnston, Irby and Thurstaston, and down to Parkgate and Neston. If your postcode is nearby but not listed, get in touch anyway.
Our house is on a steep drive. Can you still pump liquid screed in?
Usually. The screed travels through a hose, so the vehicle can stay on the road or wherever it parks safely while the hose runs up or down the drive and into the house. We talk through parking and the hose route with you before booking.
What will liquid screed cost for my Heswall extension?
It depends on the floor area, the depth, whether underfloor heating is fitted and how easy the access is. Send those over by phone or WhatsApp and you will get a clear price back for your floor.
Is liquid screed a good choice for a large open-plan extension with UFH?
It is one of the situations it suits best. The mix covers a big area quickly, finishes flat and surrounds the heating pipes completely. The build-up underneath still has to be right, so we check that first.
Do you have an office or yard in Heswall?
No. We are based in Cheshire, and travel to every job. Heswall is a straightforward run for us via Chester and the M53.
Can I order the screed and lay it myself?
No, we supply and install together. Pumping and levelling are a big part of getting a good floor, so we do not offer delivery or pump hire without our own crew.
