Which screed suits which of Ealing's seven towns
Census 2021 put Ealing's population at 367,115, spread across seven towns: Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall. Known since 1902 as the Queen of the Suburbs, the borough has period streets, two garden suburbs in Bedford Park and Brentham Garden Suburb, and a large new building programme in Acton.
Around Ealing Broadway, West Ealing and Hanwell, Victorian and Edwardian terraces often need the old floor taken up, a membrane laid and a new screed placed for underfloor heating. Pipe cover and warm-up are covered on our Ealing underfloor heating screed page, and hand-laid sand and cement screed for Ealing period homes handles room by room work and wet areas.
In Greenford, Perivale and Northolt, the inter-war semis suit rear extension slabs. A new extension floor there is a good fit for pumped liquid screed in Ealing.
New blocks at Acton Gardens and North Acton use liquid screed laid in large pours, which covers a whole floor plate in one visit and suits the programme of a big site. Where a specification names a calcium sulphate grade, our Ealing anhydrite flow screed page explains what that involves, from laitance to moisture testing.
Converted flats need acoustic floors, and that detailing goes under the screed. It must be designed before the pour, because nothing can be slipped underneath once the floor is down.

Parking, programme and Park Royal work in Ealing
Our Ealing area includes Acton Green, South Acton, West Acton, North Acton, Dormer's Wells, Norwood Green, Lower Place, Yeading and Old Oak Common as well as the seven towns. Postcodes here include W3, W4, W7, W13, UB1, UB2, UB5, UB6 and NW10.
Parking shapes the day on a London job. A liquid screed pump needs to stand near the door with a hose run inside, and sand and cement needs space for a mixer and materials. Controlled parking zones, a bay suspension or a narrow shared entry all need sorting before the pour, so mention them when you ask for a price.
In a period house being renovated, we screed after the roof and windows are sealed and the heating engineer has pressure tested any pipe loops. Your flooring fitter then has to wait while it dries. Allow roughly a day per mm for the first 40mm of sand and cement, longer after that, and set the fitter's date by a moisture test, not a guess.
A large part of Park Royal lies in Ealing, within the Old Oak and Park Royal area where extra industrial floorspace is planned, and the South Acton industrial masterplan aims to mix workspace with homes. Warehouse and factory units there need hard wearing, level floors; see commercial screeding for that side of the work.
