How Clockwork Screed’s Mobile Screeding Technology Transforms
Commercial and Domestic Builds
When it comes to construction, time is money. Delays in one phase can have a knock-on effect throughout the entire project, creating headaches for architects, main contractors, and homeowners alike. Nowhere is this more evident than in the process of floor screeding, a step that, if not managed efficiently, can hold up every trade that follows. At Clockwork Screed, we understand these pressures firsthand, which is why we’ve dedicated ourselves to developing a faster, more reliable solution that suits both commercial and domestic builds.
The Traditional Challenge
Traditional screeding methods are labour-intensive and slow. Materials are delivered to site in bulk, often requiring multiple lorry trips and considerable manual handling. The screed is then wheelbarrowed to its destination, spread, and levelled by hand, a process that can take up to a week for larger areas. No other trades can access the space during this time, and the screed’s long drying period further extends the project timeline.
For architects and main contractors, these delays can mean juggling multiple teams, rescheduling other trades, and facing mounting pressure to keep projects on track and within budget. For homeowners, it can mean prolonged disruption and a longer wait before moving into a finished space.
A Smarter Approach: Mobile Screeding Technology
Clockwork Screed’s answer to these challenges is our innovative mobile screed plant technology. Our specialist trucks batch-produce high-performance liquid screed on-site, pumping it directly to where it’s needed- no wheelbarrows, no unnecessary handling, and no waste.
This approach brings several key advantages:
Speed: We can cover up to 1,000m² in a single day, with most jobs completed within four to five hours. This is a dramatic improvement over traditional methods, which can take a week or more for the same area.
Efficiency: By mixing only what’s needed on-site, we eliminate waste and ensure the screed is always fresh and consistent. Our fully automated Transmix vehicles handle both mixing and pumping, streamlining the process from start to finish.
Minimal Disruption: With rapid application and fast-drying options, our liquid screed is ready for foot traffic in as little as 24–48 hours. This allows other trades to resume work quickly, keeping the project moving forward without unnecessary downtime.
Better Results for Every Build
Our cementitious liquid screed is self-compacting and self-levelling, creating a smooth, even surface with minimal manual intervention. It can be laid as thinly as 25mm, saving on materials and further reducing drying times. When installed over underfloor heating, our screed flows around the pipework without leaving voids, ensuring efficient heat distribution and optimal energy performance.
For domestic builds, this means a warmer, more comfortable home with lower energy bills. For commercial projects, it means meeting stringent performance standards and delivering a high-quality finish that stands the test of time.
Clockwork Screed doesn’t just stop at liquid screed. We also offer poured insulation solutions, using the same mobile technology to deliver and install high-performance insulation quickly and efficiently. Our poured insulation dries at a rate of 1cm per day and can cover up to 1,000m² per day, with no need for bulky storage or the risk of gaps that can occur with traditional insulation boards.
This integrated approach means fewer deliveries, less site congestion, and a faster, more coordinated build process, whether you’re working on a large commercial development or a single-family home.
By producing only what is needed on-site, our process reduces material waste and ensures clients only pay for what they use. Fewer deliveries mean less traffic and lower emissions, and our use of anhydrite-based binders generates significantly less CO₂ compared to traditional cement production. These benefits make our solution not just faster and more efficient, but also better for the environment and your bottom line.
