Egham's housing, from Englefield Green to Magna Square
Census 2021 recorded 9,998 households in the Egham built-up area. They live in housing that runs from Victorian and Edwardian streets to flats finished in the last few years, and each part points to a different floor.
Victorian and Edwardian houses stand in the older parts of Egham and Englefield Green. Once a renovation gets going, those ground floors frequently come up, to go back down over a new membrane and insulation with a new screed finish. Rebuilding a period floor like that is a job for sand and cement screed laid by hand in most cases.
Post-war semis, and those from the 1970s to the 1990s, are the typical base for extensions and open plan kitchens. Knock through the back of one of those semis and the wide floor you end up with is ideal for a pumped liquid pour; if pipes are going in, our Egham heated screed page explains how much cover they need.
In the centre, Magna Square, formerly Egham Gateway West, brought affordable and market flats, student rooms, shops and an Everyman cinema. New build homes suit flowing screeds over heating, and when a specification names a calcium sulphate grade, the anhydrite flow screed notes for Egham explain what follows.
Flats make up 22% of Egham's homes. Rented flats and student homes around the university and the town centre often need levelling before new floor coverings, plus repairs to damaged patches, rather than a whole new screed.

Planning access and timing for an Egham pour
Fixing a pour date in Egham means fitting it between the trades before and after. By then the windows and outside doors should be in so the weather stays out, and the plasterers should have finished their wet work. Any underfloor pipes need to be down and to have passed a pressure test. Once poured, the screed has to dry before any covering is laid, so book the kitchen and the tiles around it rather than squeezing the screed in to suit them.
Access decides the method. For a liquid floor, the mixer and pump must park within hose length of the room; a sand and cement floor can instead be wheeled in by barrow from wherever the materials are dropped. For a town centre block, a flat above shops or a house with no off-street parking, tell us about restrictions, loading rules and stairs when you ask for a price.
We cover the whole town, including Egham Hythe, Thorpe Lea, Harpesford, Ripley Springs, St Ann's Heath and the area around Royal Holloway, beside Runnymede and junction 13 of the M25. Postcodes here include TW20 and GU25.
Egham's business floors need screeding and levelling as well. Magna Square's shops and restaurants, the listed Tower Garage and offices used by firms such as Belron and Enterprise Holdings all rely on floors that are flat, sound and ready on a fixed date, whether that means levelling a showroom or screeding during an office refurbishment.
