Screeding and floor screeding · Berkshire

Screeding in Bracknell

Pumped liquid, hand-laid sand and cement, screed over heating pipes, anhydrite or a skim of compound before new flooring: K & B lays all of it in Bracknell. In a new town, a house's age tells you most about its floor. Bracknell was designated a new town in 1949, and 43% of its homes went up between 1973 and 1999, so a great many floors are now due to be opened up, extended or relaid. Our Slough base is about 9.2 miles away, and every quote is fixed in writing before a bag of screed is opened.

Which screed suits which part of Bracknell

Census 2021 counted 78,662 people in the Bracknell built-up area. Because the town grew as a post-war new town, there are very few Victorian floors to deal with, and a great many post-war and late twentieth century ones.

In Priestwood, Great Hollands and Wildridings the houses are now 50 years old or more. Owners who knock the kitchen and living room together often find the original ground floor uneven, or sitting at different heights from one room to the next. Where that slab has given up and has to be broken out, the small rooms and fiddly door thresholds are easier to handle with sand and cement laid by hand. If it is sound but out of level, levelling compound before new flooring is the quicker and cheaper answer.

Extensions to terraces and detached houses are common too, and we cover the whole town, including Bullbrook, Harmans Water, Birch Hill and Crown Wood. A wide rear extension on a new insulated slab suits pumped liquid screed in Bracknell, which settles flat and can take foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours.

The newer homes at Jennett's Park and Amen Corner, where Persimmon has permission for 302 homes, are suited to underfloor heating laid in a liquid screed. How deep the screed sits over the pipes, and how soon you can switch the heating on, is set out under heated floor screeds in Bracknell. If the drawing for your plot calls for CA-C25-F5 or another calcium sulphate grade, the anhydrite page breaks down what you are actually being asked for.

Access, timing and business parks around Bracknell

Your screed day depends on whoever works just before us and whoever comes just after. Ahead of us: a weathertight shell, the wet plaster done, and the heating installer's pipes down and pressure tested. Behind us, tiles, LVT or wood cannot go down until the floor has dried, so book your flooring fitter after we agree the screed date, not before.

Access is the second thing to plan. For a liquid pour, the mixer stays outside and the screed travels indoors along a hose. Terraced houses are a large part of Bracknell's housing, and a terrace often has no driveway at the front door, so the mixer may need to stand on the road or in a shared parking area. Tell us where it can go, and how far the hose must run, when you ask for a price. Sand and cement arrives by barrow, so the route through the house needs protecting either way.

Business units in Bracknell work to another timetable entirely. The Western Industrial Estate, the Southern Industrial Area and the 22 acre Arlington Square business park hold offices, warehouses and workshops whose floors are refurbished between tenants, usually against a fixed handover date. The Lexicon, rebuilt in 2017, added 600,000 square feet of retail and leisure space where fit-outs need sound, flat floors. Whether a unit there needs a fresh wearing screed, a repair or a levelled floor, see screeding for commercial premises.

FAQs

Screeding in Bracknell: your questions

Which screed suits a 1970s house in Bracknell?

It depends on the job. For a new extension or an open-plan kitchen on a fresh insulated slab, a pumped liquid screed is usually the quicker route and suits underfloor heating. If the original ground floor has cracked or lost its damp protection and is being dug out, sand and cement often fits the smaller rooms better. Where the old floor is solid and only out of true, a thin pour of compound may be enough on its own.

What does floor screeding cost in Bracknell?

Going by the published 2026 UK rates, sand and cement comes to £18 to £25 for each square metre and liquid £24 to £31. For a Bracknell job the figure moves with the floor area and depth, how near to the house the pump can park, and whether insulation and membranes are part of our work too. Send those details over and a fixed price comes back to you in writing inside 24 hours.

Can you screed a unit at Arlington Square or the Western Industrial Estate?

Yes. Offices, warehouses and workshops on Bracknell's business parks and industrial estates are within our area, and the work usually means repairing or replacing a worn screed, or levelling a floor before new coverings. Send the unit size, the current floor and the date the tenant needs it back, and the price will be built around that programme.
