Screeding Contractors in Abingdon-on-Thames

Which screed suits which Abingdon-on-Thames home

Start with when the house was built, because that decides what sits under the floor.

Post-war houses make up the bulk of the town, in Peachcroft and elsewhere. When one of these gains a rear extension, the new floor is usually a wide, open room, and liquid screed pumped into an extension lays it flat in one visit. Owners replacing a tired ground floor often take the chance to fit a wet heating system, and then the depth over the pipes and the heat-up schedule matter; our underfloor heating screed page covers both.

Period houses near the historic centre, in a town whose abbey was founded around 676 and whose wool trade made it wealthy in the Middle Ages, are a different matter. Their old solid floors may need lifting and rebuilding with a proper membrane, and traditional sand and cement screed is usually the practical way to relay them room by room.

Flats are a sizeable part of the housing, including conversions such as the old gaol, which now holds flats and shops. Refits in flats tend to involve acoustic screeds and levelling work, where self levelling compound for new floors prepares the base for LVT or tiles. Where a specification calls for a calcium sulphate grade, we pour anhydrite flow screed to that grade.

We cover Caldecott, Northcourt, Wildmoor and the newer suburbs that have spread east towards Radley station, as well as the town centre.

Drayton Road Industrial Estate and timing an Abingdon-on-Thames pour

Abingdon's business and science parks host technology firms, and the Drayton Road Industrial Estate houses smaller industrial units. Milton Park nearby shares an Abingdon postcode. Buildings like these tend to need levelling before new flooring, quick drying screed where the programme is short, or a high strength screed where floors take heavier loads.

For a house, the screed date sits in the middle of the build. By pour day the shell has to be keeping the rain out, the plasterer's wet work should be finished, and any heating circuit must have held its pressure test. Kitchen units, internal doors and skirting follow afterwards.

Then comes drying, which is the step that most often gets squeezed. Light foot traffic is possible within 24 to 48 hours of a liquid screed, but a floor ready for tiles or wood takes weeks: roughly a day per millimetre for the first 40mm and longer after that. Ask your flooring fitter to wait for a moisture test rather than a calendar date.

Then there is the question of getting the materials to your door, which matters in OX14 as much as anywhere. A pumped screed needs the lorry within a hose run of the door, so tell us about parking restrictions, shared drives or long garden paths when you ask for a price. Sand and cement arrives as materials and is mixed on site, which needs a patch of hardstanding near the house.
