Which screed fits which part of Burton Latimer
Census 2021 counted 10,440 people in the Burton Latimer built-up area, and 36% of the homes there were built in 2000 or later. A town split that way between old and new needs more than one kind of floor.
The historic core is the place to start. Around High Street and Church Street, houses went up as the ironstone quarries and the clothing and shoe factories grew, and a few predate all that. Plenty were given solid floors with nothing beneath to stop damp. Renovating one normally means breaking it out, fitting insulation and a membrane, then compacting a fresh sand and cement floor by hand.
Further from the centre, the later housing is where rear extensions crop up. Matching heights is the fiddly bit. The extension floor must line up with the floor already in the house, so we start from that finished level and work downwards to set the insulation and screed depths. Across a wide, open extension, pumped liquid screed for Burton Latimer homes is often the easier option.
Over the A14 to the north, Hanwood Park and the newer estates in neighbouring Barton Seagrave are where extensions and garden rooms commonly get wet heating pipes buried in a flowing screed. Pipe depths and the first warm-up are on our screed over heating pipes page, and the anhydrite page goes through the calcium sulphate grades.
A floor that is solid but bumpy may only want a skim of compound to flatten it for new flooring.

Planning a pour in Burton Latimer around the build
Screed slots into a build at a set point. Before we pour, the room wants its windows and outside doors fitted so it is weathertight, and any wet plaster finished, so nothing soaks the new floor afterwards. Heating pipes, if there are any, go down first and get pressure tested by the installer, since K & B does not fit pipes. Then we pour, and then the floor dries, and drying is the part no flooring fitter can hurry. Allow a day for every millimetre of those first 40mm, and longer again for anything thicker.
Sort out access at the same time. Pumping means parking the mixer and pump where the hose can stretch to the front door, and a Burton Latimer driveway usually solves that. If the house is on a tight terraced street with no drive, mention the parking and any side access when you ask for a price, and we will plan the day around them. A hand-laid floor needs a clear barrow route instead.
Commercial work on the north side of town is another matter. Symmetry Park and the Kettering Gateway warehouses stand beside long-running occupiers including Weetabix, Versalift, Alpro and Abbeyboard, and buildings of that size need flat floors that stand up to wear. They usually call for floor preparation, grinding and high strength screeds, all handled through our commercial floor screeding.
