Felpham to North Bersted: screed for Bognor Regis homes
Bognor Regis grew from a fishing and smuggling village into a resort in the 18th century, gained a railway in 1864 and widened in 1933 when Felpham, Aldwick and North and South Bersted were brought inside its boundary. Census 2021 recorded 30,231 households in the built-up area, and their homes span every period, from houses built before 1919 to homes finished since 2015. That spread is why there is no single right screed for the town.
The first question for any Bognor Regis floor is when the house was built. An inter-war home may have a solid floor laid with no damp proof membrane. If it is being replaced, the old floor comes out, a membrane and insulation go in, and a hand-laid sand and cement floor screed is usually the finishing layer, because it handles small rooms and awkward thresholds well.
Detached homes make up 33% of the stock, and a detached house with room to extend is a good candidate for a big open floor. Pumped liquid screed in Bognor Regis suits that kind of room, and if the extension is heated, our page on screeding over wet underfloor heating covers pipe cover and the first heat-up.
Flats are the other large group. A flat above ground level is often easier to screed with a flowing mix, and if a block's drawings call for a particular calcium sulphate grade, the specification side is covered on our anhydrite flow screed page. Where a floor is solid but out of level, a skim of levelling compound over the existing floor can be enough, with no new screed at all.

Booking the screed around a Bognor Regis build
The pour waits until the building keeps the weather out. That means the roof finished, windows and external doors in, and wet plaster done, so the floor is not soaked or stood on by other trades while it cures. Heated floors add one step: your heating engineer lays and pressure tests the pipes beforehand, as fitting them is not part of our work.
After the pour, drying time depends on the screed type and depth, and it is the one stage of a build that cannot be squeezed. Book the screed before the kitchen fitter and the floor layer, not after.
How we reach the room matters too. For a pumped pour, the mixer and pump park as near the house as they can and the hose is laid through to where the floor is going. Tell us about parking, narrow side passages or a flat on an upper floor when you send the details, wherever the address is, whether Aldwick, Rose Green, Nyetimber, Middleton-on-Sea or Ancton. Postcodes here include PO21 and PO22.
Larger sites are different again. The 39 acre Butlin's resort and the University of Chichester campus are two of the larger non-residential sites in the town, and refurbishment there can involve commercial screeding.
