70sbrick Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi all We're getting to the end point of our extension. The UFH pipes are all laid and we are ready for screeding, which was due to happen today. Unfortunately the screeders were unable to pour the screed due to COVID, and now we won't be ready for our kitchen fitters to start on monday. The fitters have suggested fitting the kitchen first, with the legs on blocks, and then screeding after. Has anyone got any experience of doing this?

Declan52 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 That would be nothing short of madness!! What kind of screed where they going to lay today in winter and expect it to be suitable to fit a kitchen on Monday?? No chance that it would be fully hardened and dry enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 No you need to delay the kitchen fitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) We started kitchen fitting 10 days after screed poured. They've only fitted the carcasses so the worktops can be templated. They say its too damp to fit the door fronts or the the gables and won't be back until the new year. I'm frantically heating and drying the house out!!! If your guys fit the kitchen, make sure they leave the kick boards off so the screed under can dry out. I also see you have freshly plastered walls - are units going up against these walls as well?! Get you UFH on and windows open as soon as the screed company say it's safe to do so. Edited December 14, 2021 by Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassanclan Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 And there is no way I would want someone plastering the celing above my newly fitted kitchen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I think you need to leave it another couple of weeks. Get the ceiling and the door reveals tacked and plastered and the whole room at least mist coated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70sbrick Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks all for replies. The ceiling finished is ply sheets in between the exposed beams, so no plastering above the kitchen. Kick boards and doors will be left off, just the carcasses fitted so the worktop can be templated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
