Matching a screed to a Bedworth semi
Census 2021 counted 13,160 households in the Bedworth built-up area, and the largest share of their homes went up in the post-war years, between 1945 and 1972. Houses of that age tend to need one of three floor jobs, and each points to a different screed.
The first is a rear extension. Knocking through to make a bigger kitchen and dining room creates one wide floor, and a liquid screed pumped into the extension goes down level in a few hours. Planning a warm floor in there? Look at our page on heated floor screeds before buying the pipes, since the depth of screed over them sets where the finished floor ends up.
The second is a garage conversion. In a Bedworth semi the garage base is normally lower than the rooms beside it, and it has to be lifted to hallway height with insulation, a membrane and screed on top. A hand-laid sand and cement screed suits that small, enclosed space well, and it is also the right base for a new wet room.
The third is the cold kitchen floor. Many 1950s and 1960s kitchens sit on an uninsulated concrete floor that feels chilly all year. Replacing it means digging out, insulating and screeding again, often with heating built in.
Not every floor needs to come out. Where the old screed is sound but uneven, floor levelling with compound gives a flat base for LVT or tiles at a fraction of the work.

From the precinct to Exhall: covering all Bedworth
We cover Collycroft, Mount Pleasant, Bedworth Heath, Coalpit Field, Goodyers End, Exhall and Black Bank, with Bulkington 1.5 miles to the east. Postcodes here include CV12 and CV7.
When the screed goes in counts for as much as which one you choose. The pour goes in once the extension is weathertight, internal walls are plastered and any heating pipes are pressure tested. Once it is down it has to dry before anything is laid on it, so the kitchen fitter and the flooring layer should be booked with that gap in mind.
On a semi with a driveway, the mixer and pump can stand off the road. For a terrace with only on-street parking, mention it when you ask for a quote and we will map the hose run before the day.
The town's commercial floors are a separate story. The centre was rebuilt in the 1960s and 70s as a pedestrianised precinct, and its shops and offices, including those used by Domestic & General and Warwickshire County Council, go through retail and office fit outs. In Exhall, the Bayton Road industrial estate holds manufacturers such as Premiere Group and Brose, where production floors may need repair, grinding or a high strength topping. Factory and precinct floors like these come under our commercial floor work.
