Which screed suits which Camberley home
Census 2021 counted 36,787 people in the Camberley built-up area, and 41% of its homes are detached. Detached houses usually have room to extend at the back or convert a garage, so the age of the house and the size of the room decide which screed suits each floor.
The Old Dean estate was built on Old Dean Common in the 1950s and 1960s for Londoners bombed out in the war, which is why streets such as Carshalton Road and Wimbledon Road carry London names. Its homes are semis, terraces and maisonettes. Where an old solid floor is past saving, and when it is dug out and rebuilt, or a small bathroom needs a floor laid to a fall, hand-laid sand and cement screed in Camberley is the practical choice.
The 1970s to 1990s houses are where single storey extensions and open-plan kitchens tend to be added. For a wide kitchen extension behind one of those houses, pumped liquid screed is usually the sensible pour: it levels itself and takes foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours. Planning to warm that room with pipes in the floor? Then the cover above them and the first switch-on need thought, and the page on underfloor heating screed in Camberley walks through both.
Garage conversions are common on the same houses. That old slab usually sits a step below the hall, so we build it up with insulation and screed until the two meet, and the guide to screeding a converted garage shows the layers.
Where a new build or apartment drawing names a calcium sulphate product, the grade, laitance and moisture test are covered on the anhydrite flow screed page.

Access, parking and timing a pour in Camberley
We cover the whole town, including York Town, Heatherside, Crawley Hill and the Old Dean, and postcodes here include GU15. Camberley's shops and offices need floors as well. Shop units in The Square, which dates from the late 1980s, the mixed buildings of The Atrium and the offices at Watchmoor Park all go through refits, and those tend to need levelling, repairs or a fast drying screed.
Access decides how a pour runs. A liquid pour starts at the kerb: the mixer and pump park outside and a hose snakes through the front door to the room, so we need a space near the house and a clear path through it. On a street of semis or terraces that can mean asking neighbours to leave a space free for the morning. Sand and cement is mixed on site, so it needs room for a mixer and somewhere to tip the sand.
Picking the right week is as important as picking the right screed. We pour only when the windows and doors are in and the room keeps the rain out, and once any heating pipework is fixed down and has passed its test. After that the clock is the drying rate, about one day for each millimetre up to 40mm, dragging on beyond that depth. Other trades can usually work around a liquid screed after a couple of days, but floor finishes wait for a moisture test. Tell us your programme early and we will fix a pour date that suits the rest of the build.
