Which floor suits which part of Amersham
Start with the age of the house, because it decides most of the floor. Homes built between 1919 and 1944 make up 21% of Amersham, and the inter-war Metro-land houses on the Hill were often built with suspended timber or early concrete floors that have no damp proof membrane. Renovating one of those ground floors usually means taking it out and replacing it with insulation, a membrane and a new screed. A traditional sand and cement screed laid by hand is the usual finish for that kind of rebuild, room by room.
The post-war detached houses are a different story. Detached homes are 37% of the town, and those from the post-war decades are regularly extended. A large kitchen extension with heating is where a thin, responsive floor matters, and owners often choose a liquid screed laid by pump for exactly that reason. Depths and warm-up times for heated floors are set out under Amersham underfloor heating screed.
Flats are the third group. Conversions and refurbishments need level floors that also carry sound insulation between homes, and the finish often starts with a thin self levelling compound over whatever base is already there.
Amersham also has notable modern buildings, including High and Over, the Grade II listed house completed in 1931. Any listed building needs consent before floors are altered, and the owner or their architect should confirm that before a price is fixed.

Access, programme and Amersham's industrial estates
Before any screed is poured, the room has to be weathertight, and any heating pipes installed and pressure tested by your heating engineer. We lay the screed; we do not fit the pipes. The kitchen, doors and skirting follow after the floor has dried enough, so leave drying time in the programme rather than booking trades back to back.
Next, work out how the screed will get from the street to the room. A pump or mixer needs somewhere to stand near the house, and a hose or barrow route to the room. Houses set back from the road on a long drive are straightforward if the drive is clear. Where a property fronts a narrow street or shares access, tell us when you ask for a price, and mention any parking restrictions. If the flat is upstairs, give us the storey and tell us whether the block has a lift.
Amersham's industrial units are clustered at Corinium Industrial Estate on Raans Road and Reed Industrial Estate on Plantation Road. Unit refurbishments there call for floor repairs, grinding and resurfacing, and our concrete floor grinding service covers the surface preparation that comes before a new finish.
