Which screed fits which part of Cirencester
Census 2021 recorded 17,715 people in the Cirencester built-up area. Medieval wool money paid for the Church of St John the Baptist and the stone buildings on Castle Street, but most of the town beyond that core is more recent, and the floor in a room usually reflects when it was built.
Cotswold stone cottages near the centre often have flagstone or solid floors laid with no damp proof membrane. Seal one of those under the wrong build-up and moisture looks for another way out, usually through the walls, so the detailing has to let the floor breathe. When a small cottage room has its floor dug up and rebuilt, sand and cement, ruled by hand, is normally what goes back on top.
Homes from the 1970s to the 1990s in Chesterton and Stratton are a different job. The work there tends to be an extension floor or a kitchen that needs a flat base. A new extension off one of those houses is a natural job for pumped liquid screed. If the existing kitchen floor is solid and just wavy, a skim of levelling compound may be all it needs, with no new screed at all.
On land south of Chesterton, The Steadings has outline consent for 2,350 homes, and Platform Housing Group is bringing forward 280 more west of Kingshill Lane. Plots like these are built around underfloor heating under a pumped screed, so anyone fitting one out should start with our page on screed over underfloor heating.

Pour dates, parking and The Steadings employment land
Screeding lands halfway through a build, so its date has to slot in between the trades before and after it. Before pour day, the house wants a roof, glazed windows, external doors in place and the plasterers gone. If the floor is heated, your plumber needs the pipework down and pressure tested by the time our crew turns up. Tiles, LVT or timber then wait for the screed to dry, and how long that takes comes down to the material and how deep it is. So fix our date first and give your floor fitter a slot after it.
Next, think about how our machines will reach the house. For a pumped floor, our mixer and pump have to stand near enough for the hose to run into the room. Off-street parking on your own drive makes that easy. If your house is on a terraced row, or any street where kerb space is scarce, mention permits, restrictions or a shared passage when you ask for a price and we will plan the day around them. Where no pump position works, sand and cement can still go in by barrow.
The town is not only homes. The Steadings masterplan sets aside 9.1 hectares of employment land for business, industrial and storage use, with a neighbourhood centre alongside. Units of that kind need industrial screeds and careful preparation, and our commercial screeding service prices them separately from domestic work.
