• I think the 1mm a day only holds for relatively thin depths? if you have it deep to say bury UFH then it increases. Ours took months to go off enough to be able to lay LVT on.

    edit: 1mm a day for under 50mm, 0.5mm a day over 50mm is I think what we worked with.

  • 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!
