What Billericay's semis, detached houses and bungalows need underfoot
Census 2021 put the population of the Billericay built-up area at 34,068. The old core runs along the High Street by the church of St Mary Magdalen, and the town's localities include Queen's Park, Sunnymede, Great Burstead, South Green, Noak Hill, Gooseberry Green and Tye Common. Across the town the housing leans towards larger family homes: 40% are semis, detached houses are the next largest group, and terraces and flats are a much smaller share.
A large single or two storey rear extension, with the ground floor opened up into one space, is a typical project on houses like these, and the floor decides a lot about the finish. For a wide new room that has to meet the existing floor level, pumped liquid screed in Billericay settles flat in a single visit.
Many owners go further and put underfloor heating across the whole ground floor at the same time. That means lifting the existing floor, adding insulation and laying a new screed to match the extension, and the underfloor heating screed page explains the depths and heat-up.
Older bungalows being remodelled or rebuilt are the other common screed job in the town. In a remodel, a hand-laid sand and cement screed suits the smaller rooms, bathrooms and any floor that needs falls. When a bungalow is replaced with a new house, the specification may call for a calcium sulphate grade, covered on our anhydrite flow screed page.

Planning the pour on a Billericay extension build
An extension build has a set order, and the screed sits in the middle of it. The shell needs to be weathertight, with the roof on, windows and doors fitted and any wet plastering done. If the new floor is heated, your installer gets the pipes down and pressure tested at this stage. Then the screed goes in, followed by a drying period before the kitchen and the flooring. So book our date as soon as the roof goes on, rather than waiting until the flooring fitter is free.
Where the house has a drive, the pump and mixer usually park on it and the hose runs round the side or through the house. Tell us about gates, side passages and how far the extension sits from where a lorry can stop, since that sets how much hose we bring and how the route is protected.
For the ground floor itself, the choice often comes down to depth. Lifting an existing floor to add heating leaves only so much room, and a thinner liquid screed can make the difference between meeting a threshold and having to raise it. If you want to compare every service we offer for houses, our residential screeding page lists them in one place.
Offices and trade units are handled differently. Billericay's industrial area sits beside Radford Way near the station, and an office or unit refit that only needs a flat base is covered on our floor levelling page.
